Candle Wax

I must start off by telling you that everything in this Blog is a suggestion and if it fails I cannot be held accountable for these suggestions failing to remove the stain. They work and I have tried them myself. Oh and I should add, no I was not paid for writing this blog at all. This is my free time spent on putting the word out there. Because simply I have no life.

Candle Wax: Yes, you can get out Candle Wax out of the carpet. Not going to try and sugar coat this as it is not always easy. But patience is the key of course. The dyes in the candle wax? That is another matter all together. The dyes in the wax very in make-up. Such as even the oils used to scent the candle wax. So be for warned that you may get the candle wax out, but there was heat to cook the dye into the fibers of the carpet and of course other factors to the dye in the Candle wax. And we may also have to have to use heat to get the candle wax out.

• To begin scape as much of the wax up out of the spatter of candle wax as you can, say with a spoon.
  
• Take an ice cube(s) to the area to freeze the candle wax. This should harden the candle wax even more to make it easier to break up and get more of the Candle wax up.
• To get the rest of the candle wax out of the carpet, put down a clean brown paper bag over the spot. Place a clothes Iron that is set on low, on it. Remember LOW. Man made fibers will often MELT from the heat. This could make it worse. The candle wax should liquefy and transfer to the brown paper bag. You may have to keep repeating this step numerous times. Remember each time using a fresh paper bag because you do not want to transfer the candle wax now on the paper bag back to the carpet.
• If this cannot be done or you still have some candle wax that just doesn't want to come out, you can try rubbing alcohol. This may help with some of the staining from the dyes in the candle wax too. use a white cloth or PLAIN white paper towel ( so there is not dye transfer from the paper towel) with the rubbing alcohol of it and blot the area. Repeat this with a fresh area of the towel or new paper towel unit you get no more transfer of the candle wax or dye from it to the towel.
• Once this is done and you believe you have done what you can , rinse the area of the carpet with clean cool water and blot the excess liquid up to dry the area quickly.
