Here is a tip to remove spilled wax from your carpet.
If you have ever spilled wax on your carpet before, you probably sighed and thought "it's ruined now". This is not the case. There is an easy fix.
Simply take a brown paper bag and place it over the wax area. Get out your iron and on the lowest heat setting, run over the paper bag in gentle, even strokes. The bag will act as a sponge and absorb the heated wax. The residue will disappear and your carpet will look new once again. Darker waxes may be harder to remove. Don't give up! It may take a few tries to get the spill removed.
