Help, wax on my rug.?

Question

How on earth do i get wax out of my rug?

Answer 1

isnt this a health and beauty question ???lol

Answer 2

After you have done this any residue can be removed with dish detergent.

Answer 3

There is a spray for removing chewing gum from surfaces. It freezes it making it easy to scrape up with a putty knife. I use it all the time on all sorts of things.

Melting it to any degree will only drive it farther into your carpet.

Answer 4

take a brown paper bag put it over the wax and then take a iron and put it on a low setting but hot enought to melt the wax and the wax should soak up in 2 the bag!

Answer 5

I actually did this and it took a little time, but worked GREAT. You have to have a lot of newspapers. Put one piece over the wax and iron over it (no steam) until it looks wet.It's not wet, it is the wax going into the paper. Then, move the paper to a dry spot. Keep doing it until it is no longer wet looking. When the paper looks all wet, use another one. I spilled a red jar candle, the whole thing, on a light blue carpet, and got the whole mess out this way.
