How do you remove wax and black soot from candle containers?
Wash them. I would handwash in cold water in woolite or a few drops of dawn dish soap and a heaping tablespoon of baking soda. Reshape and lay flat to dry on a towel.
Soak in hot water and oxyclean
I'd try soaking in Oxyclean. Failing that, a dilute solution of hydrogen peroxide in a sunny spot for up to 2 days.

I have a product I got from Amazon..."Restoration" is the name. Follow the directions on the package...It works wonders with linens with stains, odors, discolorations, etc. I buy the large size I use it so often...I often soak my items overnight or for as long as it takes...Doesn't damage the items.
When I graduated from high school I gave my tassel to my boyfriend for his car. We both smoked and after 2 years that little bit of white nylon was nasty. Fastforward 30 years and the tassel was returned to me yellowed and still full of nicotine. I put it in to a cup with hot water and OxiClean and it came out like new. Yeah! Class of 70.
Soaking in BIZ works well for vintage linens.
Oxyclean is available at the dollar store under the Awesome label, works just as well as the name brand. Soak your tassel is a solution of that.
Hrdrogen perxiode and baking soda make a poor man's oxyclean.
