Take a paper towel or a dry wash cloth or some kind of absorbant cloth that can take the heat. Scrape off as much of the wax as you can. Then Heat up the iron or I like to use a hair dryer. Blow on or heat up the wax if using an iron put the cloth down first so you don't burn your carpet do this slowly keep moving the cloth so you get up all the wax. For the hair dryer heat up the wax and then use a paper towel to pick up the melted wax keep doing this till the wax is gone.

Removing Candle Wax From Carpet
Fill a metal pan with ice cubes. Place the pan right on top of the candle wax and leave it until the wax is frozen solid. Then hit the frozen wax with a small hammer to break it up. Pick or vacuum up the pieces. Put dry-cleaning solvent on a clean cloth to remove any residue.

Get a roll of paper towel and your iron. Turn you iron on a medium setting. Place about 3-4 sheets of paper towel over the wax. Start ironing the area. Move your iron around so it won't burn your carpet. You may need to replace your paper towel several times, but it will work. I've used this method for years.

Scrape off as much as you can with a butter knife. Then get an iron and a brown paper bag. Rip the paper bag in sections. Place a piece of the paper bag on top of the wax and carefully iron with a warm iron and move the paper bag around to clean areas as it soaks it up. Don't do it too hot, it could melt the carpet. That should do it!

Take a paper towel and put it over the wax. Then get an iron and put it on low heat, rub it over the paper towel and couple of times. Then wait until the paper towel cools a little and try again. This should work.

Place ice cubes on the wax. Once it is hardened enough, just pull it out of the carpet fibers.

The iron idea works great!!!! Another option, newspaper. I was worried about the ink but it didn't come off when I did it and as the newspaper was fairly porous, it worked decently fast..

Use ice, and a dinner knife to get it up. Take care.
