I spilled wax and it won't come off my carpet?

Question

I made homemade wax (for waxing) and it spilled and it won't come off. What do i do?

Answer 1

I think that to get wax up you can take a paper towel and an iron and kind of iron over it to get it up. but i might would google it to make sure.

Answer 2

I've used 2 methods.  small baggie of ice placed on the wax for 10 or 15 minutes.  This really solidifies the wax.  Then go at it with a small object and chip the stuff off.  Once you get the bigger pieces up, place an absorbent rag (no t-shirt rags here) and use an iron on a very low setting.  the iron melts the wax and the rag sucks it out.  

no guarantees, but it worked for me.

Answer 3

Pick out what you can, then cover the spot with several paper towels and use a fairly cool iron.  As the iron heats up, it melts the wax & the paper towels will absorb it.  Be sure to keep the iron moving.

Answer 4

pick off as much of the wax as you can first then get a brown sheet (not newspaper) of paper and an iron set it to a cool temp around 2 on the iron and iron over the paper it should melt the wax and the paper will absorb it but remember a cool setting nothing to hot hope it helps

Answer 5

First, let it cool/harden and remove any heavy excess using a spoon or dull edge of a butter knife.  Place damp white paper towels over the remaining wax and iron over it on the low setting.

If your carpet is made of synthetic material, in particular, it could melt/burn if the iron is too hot.

The wax should just be absorbed into the paper towels.

If there's still a spot, try a carpet stain remover and folow the instructions on the brand of your choice.

It seems weird but it works!
