What is good for getting candle wax out of a carpet?

Answer 2

Iron Wax paper underneath a washcloth and when the Wax paper get's hot (be carefull not to melt the paper) put it on the carpet where the problem is, and the wax on the carpet should get and hot and putty like again and then you should be to take it right off.

Answer 3

Try running a hot iron over wax paper placed on top of the wax.

Answer 4

I've heard freezing the wax (ice cubes in a zip lock bag, like if you twisted your ankle) will make it very brittle and it will come right off, just sit the bag on the wax for an hour or so...good luck

Answer 5

EZ. Get a piece of notebook paper, put it over the wax then iron it with an iron. The wax will melt and go into the paper.

Answer 6

Depends on the candle wax.

If it's paraffin wax, do what these people are saying, but it doesn't always come out.

If it's soy/vegi wax, you can just get a damp, soapy rag and wash it out.

Answer 7

there's the hot method and the cold method....hot works for me better and i've tried both...hot: iron wax paper over candle wax; cold: ice pack for about an hour and chip it out.....hot takes a lot less time.....hope it helps

Answer 8

Put ice on it, it helps make it very hard so you can pick it off. I use a butter knife or any thing flat that will lift it up. If there is still wax, scrape with the knife and it should pick up.

Answer 9

Id put really cold water on it, even ice, maybe itll break away so you can pull it out. I havent had to do this very many times, but it has worked for me. You might even have to cut it out. Ive done that too. Put a rug or something there if you can.
