You need to place a sheet of white paper on the wax and then gently iron the place. You will notice the wax is absorbed by the paper. You may need to repeat a few times. After that, wash the shirt once more.

Scrap as much wax off as you can. Be careful, don't make a hole. Get a hair dryer and warm the shirt up, placing paper towels behind wax. By the time you get through with that, using a degreaser should remove the residue of grease and your shirt should be fixed.

Get an old rag and put it over the wax spot, use an iron on the hottest setting possible-that won't ruing the material of your shirt and iron on top of the rag. It should soak up the wax. If there is still a grease spot there afterwards, put some grease cutting dish soap on it and rub it in, then wash it. That should do it!

You shouldn't have washed it! Still try this: Put the shirt in the freezer for @ 15 minutes. Take it out and try to scrape the candle wax off.

Place a paper over the area where you've spilled the wax, and iron over it with medium setting. The wax should come off on the paper easily.
Good luck!

Put some paper towels over it and iron most of it out that way. Get some "citrasolv" at the health food store and rub it in. It dissolves wax pretty well. Warmer is better. You might get lucky and get it out.

either freeze it and then scrape it off or you could boil water and then it would come off
