How to Fix Candle Wax That is on Carpet.
Iron over paper towels. Repeat til gone.
Hi Julia. Use a old towel and hot iron. Put the towel over the wax and then iron the towel. It will melt the wax and the towel will absorb it.
Hi Julia,
First use ice to make the wax very cold so that you can scrape off any wax that is left. Then use the iron over paper towels or a soft white cloth to get up the rest. Keep changing to a clean spot when ironing so that the color comes up and so you don't iron color back onto the floor. Wishing you the best.

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.

Hi Julia, hope this helps you. Grab a cotton tea towel and you clothes iron. Heat up the iron and place the tea towel over the wax spill, gently press the iron on for a second then lift and check to see how much wax is on the towel. shift to a clean spot and repeat, then again until you don't get anymore wax on the tea towel. you can wash the tea towel in the laundry once you have finished.
Dampen a white cotton towel 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.
