after you do that, use a good fabric pre-treater, wash in as warm water as you can for the fabric type, and DO NOT PUT IN THE DRYER!!!!  put the clothing on a hanger and air-dry it.  the dryer will set the waxy stain if you havent gotten it all the way out.  this way, you can treat it again and get more of the stain out if you need to.

hope that helps
