what is the best way to get candle wax off the carpet?

Answer 1

Let the wax harden, then scrap off the excess with a dull knife.
Place part of a paper bag, a sheet of newspaper, paper towels, or a clean cloth over the wax.
Using a warm iron, press gently on the paper bag. Be careful not to leave the iron in one place too long or you may burn the carpet fibers.
The paper bag will soak up the melted wax.
To remove stains left from colored wax, try gently dabbing the stain with a rag dampened with rubbing alcohol. If the alcohol doesn't do the trick, Heloise, that domestic goddess, recommends using dry cleaning solvent

Answer 2

Lay a paper bag over the spot of wax, using an iron set on lowest setting put a small amount of pressure on the bag over the spot. Wait about 20 seconds wax should stick to paper bag, if not, keep iron on a little longer. Check frequently so you don't burn your carpet. This worked great for me on a camo green carpet with white wax.

Answer 3

Take a towell or paper towell and put it over the area and then blow it with a blow dryer. When the wax gets hot enough from the blowdryer it will remelt and the towell will soak it up. Good luck.

Answer 4

Place a paper towel over it and go over with a warm iron...should get rid of most of it and a mild detergent should get rid of any tint still left from the wax.

Answer 5

Use a dry clean solution.... apply a small amount of the solution to test for the dye and fiber damage. If non-damaging aloow to soak for 10 mins.
