A cloth bag was left in the sun on a carpet, and the sun melted the crayon through the bag.

The best way to remove wax/crayons from carpet is with an iron and brown paper bag, or craft paper. Set your iron to it's lowest setting (NO steam!). Put the brown paper bag/craft paper over the crayon mark and set the iron on top for a few seconds. The crayon will stick to the paper. Remove and replace with a clean piece of paper. Repeat until the crayon mark is fully removed. If you find the lowest setting on the iron is not sufficient to melt the crayon, increase the heat setting and try again.

Remove Crayon From Carpet

Place a brown paper bag over the crayons and iron the bag several times with the lowest setting of your iron. This will take Patience, but the paper bag will absorb the wax. You may then need to use a spray carpet cleaner to remove the color, if still visible. Good luck!!!

Wax is one thing you may never get all the way out. You might try taking a hair dryer and melt the wax the best you can and dab it up with a cotton cloth. Or take a white face cloth and put it over the wax and gently use a warm iron on it and it should suck up the wax into the face cloth. There may be some products sold at the autoparts stores that will help also. Good Luck with it.

Use a brown paper bag -put it on the crayon and iron over it with your iron - it may take several passes but should get all the crayon out.

Get a brown paper bag, in pieces lay it over the spot and iron over the paper. The crayon will soak into the brown paper. Will take several times, but it works

further heating will drive the crayons deeper into the carpet!! remember gravity!! plus you need to press the iron & paper bag on to the carpet it'll make a bigget mess,,if it's still lumpy, try putting dry ice for a few minutes over thr crayon, & used the vaccum to clean it up, be careful though, do not handlr dry ice with your bare hands!!

Lay a towel over the crayons mess. Get your iron very hot. Iron over the towel.

Place paper towels on top of the area the slowly use hot iron on top of it. as the hot iron melts the paper towels will absorb the melting wax.
