Wax and Carpet

[Lexib_]

Anyone have any ideas about how to get dry candle wax up from a carpet? My son knocked my candle warmer over and it spilled on my carpet. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Lay a news paper over it, iron the paper with warm iron. The paper will absorb the wax.

I've heard the same, but with a dryer sheet. Lay a dryer sheet over the wax and place towel on top of the dryer sheet. Iron away.

I have heard to use a warm iron with a brown paper grocery bag. Good luck!

If you don't have enough paper between the wax and iron, you won't have anything for the wax to soak into.

I would have figured just the opposite.. if heat makes it soak into the paper, wouldn't it make is soak into the carpet even more?

I would have thought ice/ cold, then just pick it off the carpet fibers..

I've done it before. It works. Didn't even leave a stain.
