How to Get Candle Wax out of Carpeting

Have you ever spilled candle wax on your carpet? What a mess that can be. Their is a way to remove the candle wax and it is pretty easy to do.

Difficulty: Easy

Instructions

1. Grab a hand held iron and a large paper bag. Make sure you warm up the iron. Head on over to where the wax is melted into your carpet. Do not worry the candle wax will be out of your carpet before you know it.

2. Take your average size paper bag and lay it out flat on the wax that you want to remove from your carpet. I use only one layer of paper bag to do this.

3. Put your warm iron on the bag and begin ironing. The candle wax will heat up again and stick to your paper bag. The bag will appear greasy as this method begins to work. If need be repeat the candle wax removing method.
