Let it cool & scrape off what you can. Place some dry paper towels on the spot and run a warm iron over it until the wax is soaked up by the paper towels. Use as much toweling as is necessary. Wash the spot with some mild detergent, rinse, blot dry, and allow to dry completely. Good Luck! :)

Scrape away as much wax as you can, and then you might have to melt it out with boiling water (put something underneath the fabric and let the hot water filter through the fabric and melt it out). After that, you can usually wash as usual.

If the fabric is something you can't use boiling water with, you can also use a warm iron and a brown bag over the wax to draw it out into the paper, then lift it off, but it's trickier.

Scrape off as much as possible then iron it with a porous paper (kitchen paper towel), then put it into a hot wash.
