Wax-y Sheets

Okay, this is kinda random, I know, but can anybody tell me the easiest way to get candle wax off of cotton sheets? All help is appreciated

A kitchen towel (paper sort) over the wax both sides then a cloth and hot iron melt wax soaked up by kitchen towel

That will remove most of it, but also spread what it doesn't get over a larger area.

Nail polish remover (or pure Acetone, without the oils in polish remover,) will dissolve many kinds of wax without harming cotton, although it might not be as kind to some dyes.

My daughter has a book, How to Clean Almost Anything that is just filled with tips for problems like this. It might be a good investment.

Peel it off with your finger nails. That's never failed me. And I LOVE wax!

Thanks for all the help everyone. The sad thing about my whole sheet problem is that it isn't even as kinky as it sounds. My sister was using my sheet to cover her candle table during an icestorm that knocked out our electricity. Oh well *shrug*
