    Hmm - a brown paper bag placed over the top and ironed on a low heat with your iron should remove any waxy residue, but I feel the problem may be that the dye in the casing has stained, in which case I can only think of trying one of those stain devil type removers.

    I feel your pain though, my SIL spilled red nail varnish all over my pale gold bedroom carpet, and it was the very devil to come up. :mad:

    If no brown paper is to hand, I use a couple of pieces of kitchen paper folded over, turning it over every time you have melted some wax (don't reapply the same side), then change pieces of kitchen paper. Magpye might be right about the dye - but its definitely worth a go.
    :D Thanks to MSE, I am mortgage free!:D
