Question

please help candle wax just spilled over my WOOL carpet!!!! any advice would be great thanks

Answer 1

put a brown paperbag over it. then get an iron an set it to a low setting,hold the iron over the bag, it will absorb the candel wax

Answer 2

When I was an altar boy, we used to get candle wax off of vestments, fabrics, furniture by using a grocery store brown paper bag and a warm iron.
Tear the bag apart until it is flat. Put the bag paper over the wax. Iron with a warm iron. The paper will absorb the melting wax.
Careful that you do not let the iron get too hot. It will scorch the carpet fibers.

Answer 3

I heard you can use an iron with a paper or cloth towel.
Put the towel on the iron surface and use the iron on a low setting to gently warm the wax to remove it. But I've never done it and I probably wouldn't...sounds messy. I know they make that goo gone stuff which has a picture of waxy carpet on the bottle. Otherwise just move an end table over it. I find that works just as well.
EDIT: Hey that's funny I submitted this 1 second ago and that chick submitted it 2 seconds ago. neat

Answer 4

Put ice in a plastic bag and cover the stain for a while...then, scrape-scape with anything (fingernails work fine) until you get most of it out....keep vacuuming up the wax .Then, put a paperbag over a stain and ironed it out ...the brown paper soaks up to wax...keep doing it, but careful not to melt the carpet...move the bag around to keep soaking up the wax. Then...use Windex to try to get out what ever remainder of a stain there is. A friend of mine is an apartment super---he has great results with windex on rugs. Hope this helps. :)

Answer 5

Use a hot iron. Lay clean paper towel over the spot and press with the iron. Repeat until all the wax is blotted up. Keep moving the paper towel so that it's fresh and ready to absorb the wax each time.

Answer 6

Step 1: Put frozen stuff over it (bag of peas, cooler packs, etc) until it hardens; scrape off as much as you can with a dull knife.

Step 2: Put a paper towel over the wax. Run a warm iron over the paper towel, moving constantly. Replace paper towel as it soaks up melted wax.

Step 3: If a grease stain remains, use a regular carpet shampoo
to remove it (follow package instructions).

Good Luck !

Answer 7

Just get some paper towel place it over the wax and get your Iron without steam put it on wool setting place the hot Iron on top of the paper towel and it will soak up the wax

Answer 8

Put a paper towel over the wax and run a hot iron over the top. This should remove the wax. Keep doing it until all the wax is absorbed by the paper towel.

Answer 9

Use your iron and a piece of brown paper, like a brown paper bag. Heat the iron on "wool", put the paper down and heat the wax. It will melt and be absorbed by the paper (paper towels work, too, but brown paper is better). If it doesn't completely come out, use a little bit of Goo-gone to remove the rest.

Answer 10

Use ice to freeze it and break it up into pieces you can pick up.

To get the remainder out, put a paper shopping bag (be careful of print) over the wax and iron on top of that on low/medium heat. It will melt the wax and that will suck up into the paper.

Answer 11

put paper towels on top of the wax. take an iron to the top of the paper towels, the wax will melt into the paper towels.
keep repeating with clean paper towels till all of the wax is gone.
it really works. i got out red was on cream color carpet that way.
