I lit a small votive candle on my shelf, well apparently the shelf is unlevel and the wax leaked off. It leaked on my alarm clock, was hanging off of my shelf like an icecicle, and dripped on my carpet. My whole room smells like burned berries. Help?

I'm guessing at this but, scrape off the wax from the carpet or use a low-heat iron and paper towel to absorb the wax. Sprinkle baking soda on the carpet to absorb odor, and if you can, wash any curtains, bed linens and such and use some febreeze. Hope you find something that works!

I know this sounds strange but I'm telling you it REALLY REALLY works! Go buy some cheap charcoal you use for cookouts and place some in a bowl and put it some where in your room! You can use a couple of bowls of this for better effectness.It soaks up the odor and mustyness and any other nasty smells that may be in the room! I'm telling you it works,Go right now and get some and you won't be sorry.. It takes 1-3 days depending on how heavy the smellis.But it works!!

Open the door, windows, wipe off your shelf and alarm clog with windex and wash your carpet with stain remover. The windex and the stain remover smell will get rid off the smell, now you can also spray odoriser on your room.

this is been 11 hours so im confident its long previous by using now, yet in destiny ref, as a firefighter, you may continuously call 9-a million-a million and adv them which you scent something burning so as that they'd come and examine your place out, for all you be attentive to there would desire to be insulation with embers you cant see that would desire to reason a hearth a pair days down the line in case you do not document it and have it regarded at.

You should place a cup of vinegar in your room, like on the top shelf, if the smell bothers you.

Cut a onion in half and leave. The smell will be gone.
