If your Valentine's Day or romantic evening didn't go as planned and wax ended up on your carpet, don't panic. I have found a way to get wax out of carpet the easy way. Read on to see how to get wax out of carpet with two tools. But first, allow the wax to dry fully before starting.
How to Get Wax Out of Carpet
Tools and materials
- Paper lunch bag
- Packing paper or paper towel
- Iron
1. Cover the stain
Place the paper bag over the wax stain on the carpet.
2. Apply heat
Set the iron to medium heat. Iron the paper bag over the stain in short, quick strokes. Lift the bag every few seconds to allow the wax to transfer onto the paper. Avoid leaving the iron in one place for too long to prevent damaging the carpet.
3. Repeat as necessary
Continue moving the paper bag and ironing in this manner until all the wax has been lifted off the carpet and transferred to the paper. Once the stain is completely removed, you'll notice the paper bag is now covered in wax, effectively saving your carpet.
4. Clean up
Dispose of the paper bag with the wax residue, and ensure your iron is free from any wax remnants.
