How can I remove dried candle wax from my carpet?
Answers:
The hot iron and towel should work, the problem with that is that there will be wax residue in your carpet forever.....
This happened to me, I had globs of it from a wall sconce that went dripping a very long time onto my carpet before anyone noticed. All was ruined I thaught. Then I contacted my uncle who has been a carpet tech for years. He suggested I use very very hot tap water and a carpet cleaner or a shop vac, basically anything that sucks water. Then use a pitcher full of the hot water and slowly, slowly pour hot water over the wax while another person (preferrably) sucks the water out at the same time. The hot water melts the wax, the sucking machine gets out the water/melted wax and whala! NO MORE WAX AT ALL, not a drop left. Be sure to suck out the water as you put it on the wax, you dont want to ruin your underlayment or subflooring by saturating it with water....do be sure to suck at the same time as pouring, I cant stress that enough, but this WILL work....Good luck!

there's not a lot you can do.
Put an ice cube on it to freeze it then pull it up.
Heat it w/a blow dryer and then put wax paper over it, remove! Easy and quick!
Put dry ice on it and remove it by hand.
Another method is using ice to freeze it, and you should be able to scrape it out.
Put Soapy Water on it & use a Spatula to Gently Remove it
Use a hot iron. However, you place place something that will absorb the wax and not burn
Not a paper bag but a towel that you don't mind the wax adhering to after you place an iron on top of the towel to melt the wax.
THE CARPET MATCHES THE CURTAINS!
u can use ice or pick it
A hot iron and paper will work. Set the paper over the wax and run the hot iron over it. This will take some time so diligence is called for.
Good luck.
I used an ice cube to pull off what I could and This might sound weird, but I used a butter knife to scratch the left over, then I just vaccumed, nothing left.
I have rubbed a little Wesson cooking oil onto the carpet and let it sit for 10 minutes and then took a old credit card and scraped it off. If this doesn't completely do the trick, take a hair dryer and warm the wax and blot it up with a paper towel or old panty hose.
GET OUT AS MUCH OF IT AS YOU CNA THEN GET YOUR CARPET STEAMED CLEAN
try either 2 things that i am awear of light cloth (preferrably old) lay on top of candle wax heat with iron,
and the second is hair dryer on high heat and an old cloth to soak it up
good luck
