    i have seen my old mother do it with brown paper and an iron

    First lay a thick layer of paper towel over it, after it has dried. Then take a hot iron and hold it on top of the spot, sort of like you would put an iron on decal on a shirt. Hopefully it hasn’t settled too much and this will pull most of it out. If not, use a disposable razor to shave light amounts out of the top of the carpet fiber.

    Take wax paper and place it over the effected area and iron over the paper. The heat from the iron makes the candle stick to the paper.

    Place a paper towel over the wax then heat with an iron the wax will melt into the paper towel and dissappear :) repeat until all wax is gone

    first scrap off with knife and vaccum up then place paper towel and get an iron and go over it so it melts and gets on to it, if its colored it might stain carpet so thats why you should use a warm iron instead of hot, because then it would make it permanent. then try washing the color off, if its colored GOOD LUCK :)

    First put some ice cubes in plastic bag and put on the wax, this makes it brittle so you can crack most of the wax of if you scrub it with dry nail brush, hoover up all that comes loose. Repeat this a couple of times, then put blotting paper on it and iron with warm iron, if there is any wax left in carpet try sponging it with shampoo thats made for removing products like hair wax and mousse from hair

    Depending on how big the stain is
    little – Ice
    bigger – a paper bag and iron (make sure it’s not on steam), paper towel also works well but will take 5+sheets.
