Fairy liquid. Works for foam applicator pads too

The washing up liquid will break down the fat, which is essentially what wax is.

As stealth said but you may have to repeat this several times before all product is completely removed, also make sure you rinse them out really well until the water runs clear when you squeeze them out, dry naturally.

Or you can soak them in a bucket with Fairy Liquid, or something like G101 and they are a LOT easier to clean.
