How To Get Candle Wax Out Of Carpet
Yes, you can get
candle wax out of carpet. It isn't always easy, but the wax itself
can be removed with patience. The dyes in the wax are another
issue, and getting those out depends on what's in the particular
dye.
To begin with, scrape
as much wax out of the carpet as you can, with a spoon. Then
put an ice cube on the wax to freeze it. Leave it there for a
minute. The wax should harden enough to break it up and get more
of it out.
Now, to get
the rest of the candle wax out of the carpet, put a clean brown
paper bag over the spot, and place a clothes iron on it, set
on low. The wax will liquefy and transfer to the paper. Apply
a new paper bag as often as necessary until you get out all of
the wax. This may take a little time.
If this doesn't
get all of the wax out of the carpet, you can try rubbing alcohol.
This may help with some of the staining from dyes in the wax
as well. Using a white cloth or a plain white paper towel wetted
with the alcohol, dab at the area. Repeat this with a fresh towel
until you get no more transfer of wax or dyes to the towel.
Whichever method
you use to get the candle wax out of the carpet, when you are
done, rinse the area with clean water, blot up the excess, and
dry the area quickly.
