Is there a way to get candle wax out of carpet? My mom's gonna KILL me!!!?

Answer 1

Get your hair dryer and towel (Heat and dab)

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

My grandma has swore by this technique... so far I've only tried it on clothing though.
Put a paper towell over the spot with the wax. Then use the iron and iron over the paper towell. Thiw will cause the wax to melt and the paper towell will absorb the wax. Make sure you don't use too hot of a temperature. You don't want to burn the paper towell!
good luck.

Answer 4

place towel over the wax and heat with a warm iron.... the melted wax will absorb into the towel.... repeat several times using a clean place on the towel each time
