Put a brown paper grocery bag over the spill, then iron over it with a warm - not hot - iron. It should adhere to the bag and come out of the carpet!

Hi
There is two ways to remove wax from carpet.
1/ Use the edge of a butter knife to carefully scrape off or lift up as much solid wax as you can .Use a dry clean white terrycloth place it over the wax spot then heat it with a iron on low setting because most homes have polyester carpet, and if the iron gets too hot, it'll melt the carpet. Keep checking the spot every ten seconds or so, moving the terrycloth so that a clean spot is on the carpet.
2/ Which is the better way. Use the edge of a butter knife to carefully scrape off or lift up as much solid wax as you can Heat up a full kettle of water and pour it slowly on the carpet at the same time with a wet vac vacuum up the water. Keep on doing this until the wax is removed.

Get as much as you can, the chunks with a butter knife or spatula.
What is impeded in the carpet fibers can be melted out as follows.
Place 8-10 layers of paper towel over the wax.
Warm up a iron, not too hot.
Apply the hot/warn iron to the paper towel.
The idea is to melt the wax and it will be absorbed into the paper towel.

take some wax paper and placed it over the candle grew to become into, the be conscious a heat iron slowly decrease backward and forward over the wax paper. examine the paper after some passes and you may see the candle wax start to %. up on the paper. do in simple terms this countless cases till you get incredibly some the wax up. If it grew to become right into a gloomy candle, then that's achievable that the die interior the candle will stain your white carpet even once you get each and every of the wax off of it. whether this is organic white, then you may take a cotton ball or q-tip and a few finger nail polish remover and gently rub the fibers with the colour on them. it is going to come off...you additionally can attempt peroxide to do away with the colour after the wax has thoroughly been bumped off.

Take an old towel and fold it a couple of times. Lay it on top of the wax spill and go over the towel with a hot iron. The wax will lift up onto the towel.

Scrape off as much as you can then cover the remaining wax with brown paper or absorbent kitchen roll and run a warm iron over the paper until it blots it all away. you may need to use more than 1 piece.

At professional janitorial supply stores they sell cans of a spray that will freeze gum so that it hardens and breaks off of what it is stuck to.
I believe it would work for wax too. Just spray it on and scrape it off with a putty knife.

I've had good luck with layers of paper towels and a warm iron. Replace paper towels as needed.
