How to Remove Wax From Carpets in 3 Simple Steps
Learning how to clean melted wax from carpeted surfaces is extremely easy. All you need is a clothing iron set on a very low temperature (with no steam) and some paper (packaging paper is perfect). If you don’t have any, you can also try a thin cloth or rag. The important thing is that you have an absorptive layer between the iron and the wax. Now for the fun part: how to remove spilled wax from carpets.
- With your iron warmed up and ready to go, apply the paper over the melted wax, and place the iron on top of the paper.
- Slowly pull the paper from underneath the iron. You will begin to notice the paper absorbing the wax.
- Continue with step #2 until the wax is completely removed from the carpet.
Yes, it’s that easy!
