A candle has dripped quite a lot of wax over my carpet! Anyone got any tips on how I can easily remove it?

Get a plain brown paper bag, lay it over the waxed area. Heat your iron to a warm setting. Keep going over the was until it is all absorbed up on the bag. Keep moving the bag around, using a clean area of it until you have gotten all of the wax up.

Take off what you can by scraping gently. Then put a sheet of brown wrapping paper on the remaining wax, and use a warm iron to melt the wax, by ironing the paper, which will draw up the wax. Change the paper as it absorbs the wax.

my family owns a carpet business and if you take a towel and place it on the wax and then take a iron on the top of the towel it will melt the wax into the towel. So i suggest using a old towel. I have three kids and trust me it works like a charm!! Good luck

Turn on your iron and set it to warm,place a piece of grease proof paper if you have some if not a brown paper bag will do and iron over the wax.The heat will melt the wax onto the paper.

Put ice on it so it gets hard, then break it off of the carpet. Clean with a carpet cleaner.
