How can I get wax out of a dark colored cotton t-shirt?

a year ago some wax was spilled onto a shirt I really love, that is why I didnt throw it away...anyway,,I remembered that you can get wax out of the carpet by putting a towel ove it and then ironing over it,,,but that did not work for my shirt..any ideas????????????????

Two things:
1: Take it to a dry cleaners and tell them what happened and see if they can clean it.
2: Use paper towels or newspapers to soak up the wax when you iron it. When you iron it be sure to put a piece of cardboard or something in between the layers of your shirt so the wax doesn't go onto the back of your shirt. Also be sure to use a relatively hot iron. Not so hot to burn the towels, or your shirt, or the newspapers. Make sure you swap out the paper towels when you iron over it and it soaks some of the wax up. This may take a few passes and tries before you get it out. You could also try freezing it and seeing if it will flake or peel off. If you have any more questions let me know via email. midievalrose@yahoo.com
