How to remove candle wax from carpet?

Answer 1

...I already told you!!!

Answer 2

As with most wax stain´s on clothes and carpet´s ,first scrape of as much as you can with a blunt knife, then with a brown paper bag or the type of brown paper you would use for wrapping up parcel´s to send by post,Lay your paper on the wax stain and with a warm to hot temp iron ,iron over the paper the heat from the iron will lift the wax onto the paper . Keep moving the paper to a clean area . As soon as you have made sure all the wax has been lifted ,you can sponge your carpet with a little of your own shampoo it works just as well as carpet shampoo if not better. Once you have washed and taken all the suds out lay a towel on top of the wet area with a heavy object on top of the towel, this will help to dry up any water from the underside of the carpet. best leave over night .You might find that you will have to sponge this area again at some time as sooner or later the water mark from the underside always reaches the surface

Answer 3

I use the cold and hot approach. I always put an ice cube over the wax to harden it into a brittle layer. Then I pick off as much as I can by flicking it out with a fingernail. That should get most of it off. If there is still a residue then put a brown supermarket bag over the rest and hold a hot iron onto the paper. You should see the paper getting grease stains from the molten wax being soaked up. Move a clean part of the paper over it and try again till it is all gone through the melting and soaking up.

Answer 4

There is some stuff you can buy at Wal-Mart called goo be gone. It works wonders on candle wax, along with many other things like glue or gum. Anything sticky. You can use it on any cloth surface, carpet, clothing, ect. It is fairly cheap too. About $3 or $4 a bottle. It can be found on the isle where laundry detergents are. I keep a bottle in my laundry room all the time.

Answer 5

Lift off surface deposit with finger-nail. Sandwich stained area between clean blotting paper and melt out remainder with warm iron. Keep moving the paper so that clear sections absorb wax. Use grease solvent to remove final traces.

Answer 6

Lay a piece of brown paper grocery bag over the wax and iron it with a clothes iron. Keep repeating until its all removed!

Answer 7

You will require: toilet/tissue paper and an iron.

Place the tissue paper over the wax and with a hot iron, iron the tissue paper - keep replacing with a fresh piece of tissue and ironing over the wax and it will be lifted out of the carpet on to the tissue

Answer 8

Blotting paper (or kitchen roll) and iron on top of it. Be sure to wipe iron very clean afterwards. You could put greaseproof paper between iron and absorbent paper.

Answer 9

scrape off excess with back of knife cover area affected with brown paper iron over this with warm iron repeat as necessary

The brown paper bag and iron really do work :) Out of all the answers you recieved...this is the one you need to do ( I had to do it twice)

Answer 11

You could try freezing it with an ice-cube and then it should come up easily with a (blunt) knife.
