Help!! This group seems to come up with awesome ideas, tips, and tricks, so I came here before researching online that stain on the carpet is dried wax from a scented wax warmer that was knocked over. Any solutions on how to get it out??? I’ve tried scrubbing it, but obviously, it’s all dried and crusty, so it won’t come out any ideas??? Thanks in advance!!

If theres color, its gonna stain
Get a flannel and team your iron over slowly and keep going it will stick to the flannel and you won’t even notice
A hair dryer on high might make it melt enough to clean it out.

Paper towel and an iron usually does the trick. Lay the paper towel over the wax and iron it, it’ll pull the wax onto the paper towel

Put a stack of paper towels on it, then rub a iron over it. A hair dryer might work if you don’t have a iron. Heat melts it and paper towels absorb the wax.

Hot iron on top of paper bag. Using wax paper would cause more wax I believe
Blow-dry, blot repeat. Then use an iron and a clean rag. Place the rag on the wax spot and run the iron over it. Lift fold repeat

I spilled wax on my carpet earlier, I scooped up as much of it as I could with baby wipes then when cold and hardened I used my carpet cleaner with dissolved washing powder in it, worked a dream! (Discovered I had no carpet shampoo left so improvised)

The iron and paper towel trick works well. My mother used to do this at our church when the candles would drip on the carpet in the pulpit worked great.

Wet towel down then hot iron on the towel. Comes right off the carpet and adheres to the wet towel.

So my husband and I own a carpet cleaning business. He does all the work I do the books lol. He says an iron and brown paper bag. Heat up the iron, put bag over the wax, put iron on the bag. When the wetness of the wax starts to come through he bag, keep doing circles with the iron until it’s all out. Keep moving the bag to a clean spot once the wax starts to seep though the bag

I used paper and iron n ended up burning my carpet n made it 100 times worse 
You’ll need an iron and a towel. Get a damp towel, fold it in half and place it over the wax. Press an iron set on “high” over the towel for 10 seconds. The heat will draw the wax out of the carpet and into the towel. Repeat until the wax is gone

Also, your carpet care vendor should be able to get it. If not. You can always patch it
Wet rag, hot iron. Repeat until gone. You can also trim the carpet once you get most of the wax off

Salt it then cover with a white terry cloth towel iron on low.
Heat to get the wax up. Possibly carpet cleaner for stain. If that doesnt work, maybe a mild solvent like vinegar?
I used my steamer on red candle wax
Paper towels then iron over them. The Paper towel soaks up the oil from the wax and the the iron will remelt the wax onto the paper towel. I just had to do that a few weeks ago

I saw somewhere that you can put I think it was parchment paper over the area and run your iron over it and it melts it and it sticks to the paper! Worth a shot at least

I did that and it never came out properly so had to get a new carpet
Put a paper bag over it and use an iron
Paper towel over top then hair dryer over that. Comes out easily. I’m wax melt obsessed so it happens lol
A clothing iron, paper towel and baking paper. Lay the paper towel over the wax, then place the baking paper on top of the paper towel, then use your iron and iron on top of the paper towel. Could take a few attempts but it does work
Use brown paper and hot iron that should melt the wax
Try freezing bananas and then blending them a lot like ice cream
Ice and then you can pick it off

I agree with the iron tips. You can use paper towels, paper bag, old towel or rag you won’t be sad to toss.

I would want to try making it very cold, and then flaking it off. I wouldn’t want to soften it, it might sink into the fibers more.
Coffee filter or tissue paper and and iron…I haven’t tried paper bag, but same idea… I got red candle wax out of white carpet with coffee filter and iron…
Put a brown paper bag over it and run a hot iron over the bag. It will melt the wax and the paper bag will soak it up out of the carpet.

Use and old towel and an iron. Place the towel over the wax then use hot iron over the towel. Most if not all the wax will stick to the towel. Then while the area is still warm use a carpet shampooer over the area to get bits that might remain.
I remember my SO freaking out when he knocked my dark purple candle off the side all over the light brown carpet (rented) I just grabbed a piece of kitchen towel, put a tea towel over it (so I didn’t burn the kitchen towel) and ironed it, all sorted, he just looked at me in surprise lol x
Agree place an ice pack on it…that can be as simple as a well sealed bag with ice
Take a damp cloth that you won’t need, place it on the wax and iron over the wax. It will transfer the wax from the floor to the cloth.
Blow dryer and paper towels
