one easy way is to take a piece of braided wire (the kind with a bunch of strands) and "soak" up the solder. you can also get something called a solder sucker which that will well... suck the solder
btw what kind of soldering tools do you have (i.e. wattage of iron, a stand with a wet spunge, tip cleaner, guage of solder wire, solder tip ect.). what kind of work are you doing with it? if it's regular through hole soldering i'd recommend you get a flat tip (which contains more heat energy) a stand of some sort that holds it while you're not using it as well as a solder spunge for cleaning the tip. imo the most common mistake while soldering for the first time is not tining your tip and not keeping it clean causing your work to heat unevenly.
