how do I get wax off the carpet?

Answer 1

Ice cube on it then pick it off.

Any left get a brown paper bag and iron over it on a medium setting. The brown paper absorbs the grease.

Answer 2

Use the edge of a butter knife to carefully scrape off or lift up as much solid wax as you can. Fill a zipper-type plastic bag with ice cubes and place the bag over any remaining wax. The cold will make the wax more brittle, enabling you to scrape off additional wax with the butter knife. Repeat this procedure as necessary to remove as much wax as possible. Be careful to not disturb the original condition of the fibers.

To remove any remaining wax, finish up using a warm iron. I highly recommend that you set the iron on a low heat and test the procedure first in a closet or other inconspicuous place. A synthetic carpet can melt if the iron is too hot.

Place a brown paper bag, several sheets of clean white paper, a white rag, or a white towel over the wax spill and iron over them using the warm iron. Keep moving the iron so you don’t get an iron-shaped burn mark in your carpeting, and move the absorbent paper or cloth so the wax melts onto a clean spot. When you see little spots that look like grease or water, you know the wax is lifting up out of your carpet.

Replace the absorbent paper or cloth as needed. You may have to repeat this process several times (using clean absorbent papers or cloths each time) to remove all of the wax from the carpet fibers. Work carefully; you don’t want to burn yourself or iron off the paper or cloth and melt the carpeting. Do not rush through this; it can be time-consuming, so be patient—it will remove the wax.

If small grease-like stains remain, sprinkle them with baking soda and let it sit overnight before vacuuming.

Answer 3

Skip the ice and picking at it crap.....that only mess up the carpet fibers. Grab the iron and paper bag, or even 5 or 6 paper towels and heat it up with the iron therefore removing the wax from the carpet. Continue until its gone.

Answer 4

You rub it with ice cubes to harden & make brittle. Pick off as much as you can. Repeat a couple of times if need be. When you have got as much off as possible you use greaseproof paper & an iron on a cool temp to make the last little bit come off. The wax residue sticks to the greaseproof paper. Hope this helps

Answer 5

Take a paper towel and lay over the area (dry of course). Then take your hair dryer and turn on high heat directly over the area. the melted wax will soak into the paper towel.You may have to do this several times but it works! Good luck..

Answer 6

Take a paper towel and lay it over the spot and run an warm iron over it for about 30 seconds, put a new paper towel down and repeat process until it is all gone

Answer 7

try really hot water. if you can douse it great. boil water and let it sit. put a bit more on after it cools. scrub with a brush with hot soapy water after you doused it. then have a carpet cleaner close by and steam clean the spot.

Answer 8

Go for the ironing solution with absorbent paper -don't use too much heat!
