Question

Does anyone know how to remove candle wax from a short pile carpet?

Answer 1

put a dish cloth on it and use a hot iron to melt the wax into the cloth

Answer 2

brown paper and iron over.

Answer 3

Moisten one tea-towel or cloth- not a duster!!

Place flat over the stain/ wax.

Starting with a cool setting, iron repeatedly over the towel, keep adding a "notch" of temperature until (upon checking) you see the wax has left the carpet and stuck to the towel. Keep moving to a fresh section of damp towel until it is gone!

Hope that works-be careful not to burn the carpet- don't leave the iron stood in one place, or unattended.

Cheers!

Answer 4

Take 3 sheets of Kitchen tissue lay it over the wax and iron with a hot iron, the heat will melt the wax and it will soak into the tissue.  Keep on going with fresh tissue until all the wax has been cleaned off.

Answer 5

a hot iron and lots of paper. Brown, butcher or news paper.

Answer 6

1. dry ice to freeze it then rub it off and the solid will vacuum up

2. iron on absorbent paper and it will soak into the paper

3. get a steamer with  cloth cover and steam the area the steam will melt the wax and it will go onto the cloth - plus this will kill any bugs in carpet and freshen pile.
