Fold a paper towel into a pad. Place it over the wax and rub the paper towel with a warm iron. keep the heat on low so you don't burn the carpet. The wax will be absorbed into the paper towel. You may have to turn the towel a couple of times as the wax is absorbed into the towel Good Luck !

Just did this the other day and it worked like a charm...I put a paper towel on top of the wax, then gently ironed it. You may need to do this a few times until all the wax is off, but I've always done this and it works great! Good luck!

Hi Lisa,
I'm no expert at this, but if I had to do it I would use an ice cube to get it very cold. When wax is cold it is brittle. I would then get a vacuum and a pair of pliers. turn on the vacuum and use the pliers to break the wax up into small pieces while I used the vacuum to suck up the pieces that break off.
Hope that helps

Scratch off excessive wax with your nails and then place a newspaper on it and iron it at very hot,this will melt the residue wax and the paper will absorb it.

I read someplace that if you put a brown bag on the area and iron it, the wax will come up when you remove the bag.

Use a blow-dryer to melt the wax and "pad" it up with newspaper.

try getting a very sharp non-serrated knife and scraping the nap with the edge of the blade
