Please Could You Let Me Know How To Remove Wax From A Carpet? I Accidently Spilled A Perfume Candle On The Carpet.

Hmm - buy some greaseproof paper, and lay it over the top of the wax, and then lightly run over a cool iron?

Make sure the iron is cool so you don't burn the carpet.

ALTERNATIVELY:

This is a different method, but it will probably be more effective than mine.

Alternate to greaseproof paper, you could use blotting paper with a cool iron. Be sure to keep moving the paper around to avoid spreading the wax.

I tried the greaseproof paper and iron thing a couple of years ago - cheap carpet melted!

I use paper towel and iron set to warm not on steam. good luck!

I use an old towel & iron over where the wax has spilt. The best of using an old towel is there is less likelihood of over-running the edges & burning the carpet as say when you use kitchen towel.

Be careful with the iron - we melted our carpet!!

I think if you put ice on it and then pick the wax off. hope it works.
