How do you get wax stains out of a carpet?

Answer 1

Place brown paper over the wax and then Iron it out

Answer 2

If the dye from the wax is light in color, you can use the following. If it is red, I recommend conacting the carpet manufacturer or a reputable carpet cleaning/restoration company. Removal of the wax stain requires a multi-part approach. First, you must remove all the wax from the carpet. Scrape off any thick wax and collect as much of it as you can to get it away from the carpet and fibers and also to prevent it from penetrating further into the pile. Scrape it off with a knife, although not so sharp as to cut the pile. Vacuum up any loose wax, separating the pile so you can get the suction deep into the piles. Make sure you get as much as possible up. The next step is to either get blotting paper, construction paper, or a grocery bag will work too, and a warm iron or Goo Gone. Placing the low-warm iron over the piece of blotting/very absorbent paper which is between the carpet and the iron, see how much wax you can get up this way. Another alternative is to use Goo Gone on an absorbent cloth to see how much wax you can get up this way. When using Goo Gone to remove the remaining wax, wipe away from the base of the pile towards the top. If you scrub, you may push the wax further down the pile. Separate the pile and use a bottom to top wiping motion, changing the spot on the cloth you happen to be working with so as not to re-introduce the wax to the carpet. Once you have removed all of the wax, reassess the situation to see what needs to be done next. There is wax and dye in a candle. You may have removed the wax, but the dye will remain. How you get the dye out is the next step. Again, you should work from the bottom up. I have always found warm soapy water works best for me although I had to use a professional to get a red stain out once. I use very warm water and dish soap. I also use LOTS of fresh water to rinse with, making sure you leave no soap residue. I use lots of towels to absorb the stain and the excess moisture. I have also used a soft bristled brush and a cloth. I gently stroke the carpet in one direction at a time, again from the base to the top of the pile. Remember, if you scrub too vigorously and in too many directions at once, you will end up with a knotted mess of a carpet, so be patient and gentle with the pile or loop.
