Tips & Warnings
If you've spilled colored wax, remove the wax from the carpet before you attempt to remove any color stain. Once you've removed the wax, use an oxy-based cleaner (pet and odor stain remover also work well) to remove the color stain. Depending upon the stain, hydrogen peroxide works as well.
To ensure your safety as well as the best results, make sure that you use the lowest heat setting on your iron.
