    I would put a thin towel down over the wax spot and lightly iron back and forth untill the wax has melted. This is how to get wax off fabric. The towel should obsorb the melted wax. Just be careful not to have the iron too hot, it may melt your carpet. Try out in an inconspicuous area first. Go slowly and use a thicker towel at first to be sure your protecting the carpet from too much high heat.

    Put it in the freezer, when the wax freezes it is easily broken up into pieces and easy to remove. Once most of the wax is gone I have had success soaking the jar in warm soapy water and using a brush to remove the residue. (make sure your glass jar is no longer COLD!!) You may have to soak it a couple of times. I have learned to not try to hurry this cleaning project. Hope that helps!!

    Use the frezer method.

  • Generally, I put them in the fridge or freezer then the wax gets brittle and you can chip it out.

    Boil water in a tea pot and pour water into candle. If it's alot of wax you may have to use a spoon or knife along rim to allow another dose of hot water to seep under all wax. After a couple tries all the wax should slide right out.
