Candle wax out of clothes?

This sounds stupid but it works. Freeze the clothing and the wax is very easy to scrape off with a sharp knife, if scraping becomes difficult, refreeze the cloth. That is how to get the wax off . If it leaves a grease stain behind , use brown paper , like grocery bags, put a sigle piece top and under the stain , go over with a warm iron [ don't scorch the paper ] and it will absorb the parafin or beeswax or tallow left in the fabric. Do this til the paper is absorbing no more candle grease .
