I am desperately trying to find out how to remove melted candle wax from carpet. Help!
Ginny is right on. You can also use paper towels. First scrape off as much as you can with a butter knife. Also, when you use the iron, make sure you don't let it sit too long or bear down too hard or you will risk burning the carpet fibers. I had this happen in a huge spot on my carpet last year and there is no sign of it anymore. Good luck.
Remove as much wax as possible by hand. Then take a brown paper bag and put it over the wax and iron over it with a warm iron. Keep moving to a clean section of the bag as the wax is picked up.
For candle wax. You can freeze it off. Take a can of keyboard cleaner or any canned air will do or even ice will work. Slowly spray the canned air on the wax or rub on the ice. Then when it's frozen just chip it away with a dull butter knife. This also works for bubble gum. Carpet cleaner for 13 years.
I removed melted candle wax from my carpet with a hot iron and an old bath towel. Just lay the towel over the wax and move the iron back and forth until the wax starts to melt. Just keep moving the towel when it starts to absorb the melted wax so you can absorb all of the wax up off the carpet.
Hi There is two ways to remove wax from carpet. 1/ Use the edge of a butter knife to carefully scrape off or lift up as much solid wax as you can .Use a dry clean white terrycloth place it over the wax spot then heat it with a iron on low setting because most homes have polyester carpet, and if the iron gets too hot, it'll melt the carpet. Keep checking the spot every ten seconds or so, moving the terrycloth so that a clean spot is on the carpet. 2/ Which is the better way. Use the edge of a butter knife to carefully scrape off or lift up as much solid wax as you can Heat up a full kettle of water and pour it slowly on the carpet at the same time with a wet vac vacuum up the water. Keep on doing this until the wax is removed. From a carpet cleaner of 14 years
