How to get body wax out of carpet?

Question

I bought a waxing kit from sallys and my friend whose in cosmetology waxed my legs a few weeks ago. The box was on my floor and fell over. Apparently the lid was not on the wax and there was a huge blob on the carpet. It is hemp wax and its extremely sticky.. as wax usually is. I grabbed it with my hand without thinking and just spent the last hour typing with my toes trying to figure out how to get it off my hands.

So how do I get this out of my carpet? I was thinking of buying some goo gone tomorrow.. any other ideas?

Answer 1

Try a professional gum remover, available at hardware stores. Start from the outside in, this way it doesnt spread out to be a bigger mess. You could try a little goo gone to see if it works.What ever you do, dont rub it, just blot. Always test a corner, to see if there is any discoloration. Good luck!

Answer 2

i had gum in my carpet and i used this stuff called goo gone. it worked for most of it and i cut the rest out.

Answer 3

don't heat it...that will make it spread even more

goo gone is a good start to what sounds like a day long project.

Answer 4

just use peanut butter the same as if you want gum out of your hair. put the p-nut butter on the spot and comb it with a brush  (hard bristles if possibl).

Answer 5

Lay a paper towel on it & get your clothes iron out & heat it up  it will stick to towel , you might have to repeat a few times  hope this helps
