I think you put grease proof paper over the clothing where the wax is, then a tea towel or something, and then you iron it. The heat from the iron melts the wax and it sticks to the grease proof paper.

Try to gentle scrape off as much of the excess wax without damaging the fabric, then put fabric between paper bags and iron, keep moving paper (be careful not to get used section on the clothing since this will be absorbing the wax) after the wax is gone you may need to use a pre-treat on the stained area, then launder as usual.

Use a hot iron and paper towels. Place the paper towel over the wax and run the iron over it. The wax will melt and paper towel will absorb it. Keep moving the paper towel, putting dry spot on the wax, one or two iron strokes. Use enough paper towels to keep avoid getting more wax on the shirt.

That's an easy one !
You need some brown paper (like from a brown paper bag).
Put it on the wax and iron over the paper.
The wax will melt, stick to the paper and come right off your clothes with out staining.

Greaseproof paper, tea towles and ironing it off is the best way. If you freeze it it will peel off but leaves a greasy stain usually, as does just washing it. If you melt it and use greasepfoof paper rather than brown paper it absorbs the grease so no stain! Iron just needs to be hand hot, not really hot or melts too quick and makes more mess!!

Soak and wash in hot water. Don't get it cold because it will harden into the fabric.
