How do I remove citronella candle wax from waterproofed fabric?

The other day we accidentally spilled hot wax from a burning citronella candle onto the side of one of our garden furniture cushions. I'm afraid to try and iron it out in the "traditional" cleaning method because of the citronella oils in the wax (I don't want to remove the wax but leave a grease stain on the cushion.) The fabric is light green colored and is most likely cotton treated with some sort of waterproofing material. The cushions are able to be unzipped so we can remove the upholstered cover from the cushion. Thanks for your help!

try rubbing the wax with an ice cube and scraping it away
Reply:scrape off all you can first, then try to iron it out, take the cover off and cover both sides with paper towels, then scrub with dawn dish soap
Reply:Goo Gone... it is the name of a product sold at stores like Wal-Mart
Reply:Heat the wax with a hair dryer and wipe the wax off. I would clean it with upolstery cleaner afterward.
