I spilled hot hair removal wax on my carpet in two places in my aparment. A. Is there any way to remove the wax from the carpet. B. If there is not a way to remove it, does the whole carpet in the room have to be replaced or just the small area? C. How much does this generally cost. I would rather just pay for it myself than have the landlord try to bill me for it. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
I would try ice to free it and then pick out the clumps then go to home depot or walmart and get OPPS it's in the paint department at walmart the liquid not spray kinda let it soak in for a while and then scrub your carpet with HOT water it should take care of it. It took candle wax out of mine. I own apartments and it usually costs about $500 a unit to purchase and install that is a one bed room and I don't know my size compared to yours. If it comes to the point you need to replace it you should notify your landlord and make sure he approves it so you don't end up putting carpet in and paying him. Some landloards are shady I personally would be thrilled I didn't have to worry about it. But I bet if you do the opps you'll be ok UPDATE do NOT use an iron because to get the heat high enough to warm it you will BURN the carpet
well if it wasnt a whole lot then i think you can get it out. my daughter spilled candle wax, quite a bit, on her carpet. at any superstore you can get a product called goof-off or something like that in the paint dept. it took all of the wax out and did not discolor the carpet at all good luck
Use some ice on the wax and try scraping off as much as possible then get several rolls of paper towels and an iron. Place layers of paper towels over the wax and place iron on lowest setting on top.Replace towels when wax comes through other side. Keep doing this until the wax is gone.
