I honestly have no idea, so it hit the google machine. Got an interesting hit:
"Put a single layer of paper cut from a grocery bag over the wax. Glide over it with an iron set at a medium heat. The iron will melt the wax, and the paper will absorb it. Who said being an altarboy wouldn't come in handy someday?"
"If you get wax on your carpet. Lay down and old absorbent towel and set an iron on top of it. The wax will melt and be absorbed by the towel. Obviously, don't let the iron burn the towel.
Another thing I used last night that worked quite well... Flip a can of compressed air (for cleaning CPUs) upside down and spray the wax. It will freeze solid in a second, then it just flakes off. "
Also, wax dissolves in nonpolar solvents, alcohol is polar, so it won't dissolve wax. I did see that dental supply places sell wax solvent for dentures that might be safer for the floor than something like kerosene.
