    get a brown paper bag and a clothing iron. place the brown paper bag over the wax, and put the iron on low to medium heat. iron over the bag and repeat moving to clean bag. the wax soaks into the bag.

    IF those other tips don't work, get paper bags, and a warm iron, sandwich the material between the bags and repeated run the WARM, not scalding hot iron over it. The wax melts, gets absorbed by the paper. Trick is to change the paper frequently

    Put newspaper on the clothing and iron the clothing. The wax will melt and stick to the most porous object - the newspaper.

    Yep, a warm iron with kitchen towel on either side works (-:

    * By kitchen towel, I mean the absorbant paper stuff, not a tea towel, lol.
