How do You remove a red wax stain from carpet?

RE: How do You remove a red wax stain from carpet? Post By tracy (Guest Post) (09/18/2008) I had a horrible wax spill in my front room. The neighbor told me to take a brown lunch bag and an iron, heat up the iron and slowly go over the paper bag. The iron heats it up and the bag pulls the wax up.

Then I used "GOO GONE" and rubbed it with a clean white cloth. Rub hard for a while but it worked. Report Spam or Abuse RE: How do You remove a red wax stain from carpet? Post By Sommer (Guest Post) (10/01/2007) My son just spilled a red I mean very red candle all over my tan almost white carpet let alone in a brand new home. So I panicked for a minute got on line and found the whole idea of using an iron and paper towel. I did and it worked although there is a bit of a pink stain so I then took the hair dryer and held it to the pink and took a paper towel and got more out. There was still a little tinge so I grabbed Dawn and vinegar and I scrubbed with that I mean scrubbed and I think now that it is gone. Looks like it but I was also looking at the same spot for an hour. But the iron method is great, very quick and easy it is just the actual dye that colors the candle.

Really works great! Report Spam or Abuse RE: How do You remove a red wax stain from carpet? Post By TAMMY FROM GA (Guest Post) (12/25/2006) USED WARM IRON & PAPER TOWELS . IT WORKS!!!

Post by call4cathy (6) | (05/28/2006) Profile | Contact Use paper towels and a warm iron. Place the towels over the waxy areas and apply iron. Paper towels will ablsorb the wax. You will have to test iron temperatures. Report Spam or Abuse RE: How do You remove a red wax stain from carpet? Post By kayse (Guest Post) (08/30/2005) My son spilled over a large red candle today and this worked for me! Scrape off and loosen by scraping with a spoon as much as possible. Apply "Goof Off" and rub/brush in until wax seems dissolved.( A dark residue seemed to be left) Make a paste with "Oxiclean" and hot water. Brush/rub in. Then I used my carper cleaner with hot water only and went over the stain several times to scrub and rinse. The whole stain disappeared after all these steps. The only drawback is the house smells from the fumes of the "Goof Off" for a while! Try burning more candles to reduce the odor!

Wait about 30 minutes and then use it to "scoop" off the wax. Best of luck to you. Report Spam or Abuse
