How do you get candle wax out of your carpet?

Answer 1

Don't recommend heat. The wax will drip into the backing and throughout the tufts of yarn.
Place a plastic bag of ice on it, freeze it, then pick out the frozen pieces.

Answer 2

You should first test each method in an inconspicuous area to be sure it won't cause even more damage to your carpet, like melting synthetic fibers, or removing color.
Place towel over hardened wax, them press the iron over the area until wax melts and sticks to the towel.
Sponge with a small amount of dry-cleaning solvent. Blot. (Use small amounts to prevent any possible damage to sizings, backings or stuffing materials. Do not use gasoline, lighter fluid, or carbon tetrachloride).
Mix one teaspoon of a neutral detergent (a mild detergent containing no alkalies or bleaches) with a cup of luke-warm water. Blot.
You can also try using ice to make it harden and then scrape of with a spoon.
First take a dull knife and cut away the excess wax. then lay a clean rag over the spot and gently iron until the candle wax is gone. i promise it works like a charm!
Ditto on the iron and clean rag. I tried it and it worked. I scraped off the excess wax and then I placed a clean rag over the area and ironed it off. It melted into the rag...it completely removed the wax.
I just spilled red wax on my carpet, and we are renting. =*( However the iron thing worked wonderes. I did pour some water on the wax before I ironed it and it came right up, there is a little bit of staining, but I would recommend this to anyone.

Answer 3

There is two ways that I have heard of one is a hair dryer. Heat up the spot and blot it with a white paper towel until it is gone. Or the other way is to use ice on it an chip it away. I had this happen recently and I used the hair dryer method and it worked great, just time consuming.

Answer 4

1) Place a paper towel over the area
2) Turn on an iron on low heat
3) Gently place the iron over the paper towel

The wax should melt and stick to the paper towel. Hope it helps

Answer 5

take a damp paper towel and then a hot iron and place the towel over the wax and then the iron over the towel---the wax will liquify and stick to the towel and clean up the mess

if any is left over try scrubing with a brush and using just mild soap and warm water

Answer 6

scrape as much as you possibly can out with a knife then you can use an iron and tons of white rags. put the white rags down and press the iron on til it lifts wax up, dont get it too hot. youll have to experiment and keep at it

Answer 7

But a washcloth on top of it and take your iron to heat up on top of the cloth, the wax will become liguid and the cloth will absorb.

Answer 8

Would not recommend heat. The best way would be to use a cleaning agent known as krud kutter. Works mircales.
