How to get wax off a carpet...

A question for the domestically minded out there...

My apartment started smelling kind of musty, so rather than clean, I lit a couple of candles to try to get the place smelling a little better. In the process of doing so, I spilled some hot wax on the carpet.

The obvious answer here is to get a blow torch and just burn/melt it off, but I'm thinking that a large fire might be a little worse than wax on the carpet...

Do you know what material the carper is, whether it's wool, cotton or a synthetic such as olefin?

I've always taken a piece of paper towel and spread it on the affected spot. Then take a WARM ONLY iron and "iron" the wax into the paper. Repeat until wax is gone.


I have heard about but not tried icing the spot and then brushing it out with a vacuum handy (so as not to spread the particles of frozen wax around).

You could put ice on it then scrape the wax loose with the back of a knife to loosen it then vacuum up any small pieces.
