Let the candle wax cool off and harden somewhat before trying to removed it. Make sure the stain does not spread while the wax hardens. Scrape off the wax as thoroughly as possible. After, place a sheet of blotting paper over the stain and iron on a temperature just warm enough to liquify the wax. Repeat the process using a new sheet of paper if the first becomes saturated and does not soak up any more wax. Now soak the stain with white spirit and rub it with soap and water to remove the last of the stain. Finally wash your garment as usual. Stain removal wipes for ties and baby wipes have been known to work wonders in a pinch, after wax has hardened. Tread carefully.
