A towel and hot iron. Place towel over wax, and rub iron acros the towel. This heats up the wax so it can be pulled up... Heat the wax to where it is just hot enough to soften the wax not melt it.
you get the wax out by placing a towel wash cloth over the wax and then ironing over it. I have done this and it works well. The heat from the iron melts the wax and the towel absobs it.
If you put paper towels or brown paper bag on wax and iron it with a warm iron that will usually take it up.
Take folded paper towels and place over the wax. Turn your iron on warm, put on the paper towel. It will melt the wax into the paper towel. Keep moving the paper towel as it soaks up the wax.
Scrape up as much as you can, then put paper towels on it and iron the paper towels. Keep changing the paper towels as the wax soaks into them. You may still have a stain depending on the color of the wax but it will be less noticeable.
Heat it with a hair dryer, then wipe with clean rag
There's a great guide here - just use a paper bag and an iron! https://www.hometalk.com/diy/clean/carpet/how-to-get-wax-out-of-carpet-44824237
Kitchen roll on top and press warm iron to draw it out.
Start with freezing the wax with and ice cube or a freezer pack. with a dull knife scrape out as much as you can. Then take a warm iron (no steam) and iron paper towels or a brown paper bag (plain side down) and draw the wax out with that, check often.
