Candles add atmosphere to a room but accidents sometimes happen with dripping wax. If a candle drips on the carpet you may well be concerned that you will never get the wax out again.

How to remove candle wax from carpets

The procedure for removing candle wax from carpets is actually quite simple.

You will need a blunt knife, a clothes iron and absorbent paper such as industrial bathroom towels or newspaper. Use black and white rather than coloured newsprint or white rather than coloured paper towels.

Firstly, After the wax has hardened, scrape off as much as you can with the knife.

To remove the rest, simply place the absorbent paper on top of the waxed stained carpet and then iron the paper carefully on a LOW heat. The wax will melt and be drawn into the fibres of the paper. As soon as wax has melted into the paper, swap for a clean piece of paper and continue the process until all the wax is removed.

That's all there is to removing candle wax from carpet.
