Submitted by Heather E.

To get candle wax out of your carpet, lay a brown paper bag over it and iron with a hot iron. The wax will be absorbed into the paper and out of your carpet.

Removal of candle wax in carpet Comments By: Becky A. on 2004-11-22 Removing candle wax in carpet by ironing with a brown paper bag works! You may need to use several pieces in the same spot. But just keep reapplying paper and ironing until wax is totally removed.   Useful - I have another option Comments By: Andy on 2005-03-30 Another option is to use a hair dryer and white kitchen paper - does the same job!!!   Iron and Paper Removing Wax Comments By: Pam on 2005-05-18 It worked beautifully! Make sure you have a good supply of paper bags. I used lunch bags - they were the perfect size - and be patient. Keep ironing until the bags have soaked up all of the wax. I just spot cleaned with a carpet cleaner and it looks great.   hair dryer and kitchen roll Comments By: shalby on 2006-08-30 tried this and it worked perfectly . good job as it was me that spilt it and i could'nt blame anyone else
