How to Remove Wax from Carpet

Step 1: Be patient.
The first mistake most people make when it come to stain removal is....panic. Whatever you do, NEVER attempt to remove wax with household cleaners you commonly leave under your kitchen sink. Several of those cleaning solution can cause the stain to become permanent.

Step 2: Act Quickly, if feasible.
The faster you react to the spill, you increase the possiblity of favorable results. On the other hand, sometimes the spill may occur without you knowledge (kids, pets). If this is the case, don't fret! The following steps will assit you with the removal in either case.

Step 3: Remove as much of the dried wax from the carpet as possible
There are several tools that you can use in order to remove the dried or wet wax sitting on the surface of the carpet. A butter knife or your fingernail just to name a few. Be gentle! There is no need to over agitate!! Your goal is to simply remove as much of the dried wax from the surface of the carpet as possible.

Step 4: Grab an iron and place it on the lowest steam setting.
I know what you may be thinking...."An iron??? What in the world??" I promise you that it will be ok as long as you place the iron on the lowest heat and steam setting.

Step 5: Grab an all white towel and lay it over the wax.
There is no need to fold the towel. Simply lay it flat over the wax. Be sure to use an white towel that does not have ANY other colors on it. Using anything other than an all white towel could cause the color to transfer from the towel to your carpet (YIKES).

Step 6: Place the iron on the towel over the wax.
The steam from the iron will cause the wax to transfer from the carpet to the towel. You may have to perform this step multiple times using a clean section of your towel. You will notice that the spot will disappear more with each attempt.

Congratulations! You have removed wax from your carpet!!
