Do you want your carpet to look like new again? Then try these almost never-failing methods to get wax out of your carpet. Your clothes will be wash-free in a matter of minutes! Read more.
To step
Method 1 of 2: freeze out
For best results, spray some carpet cleaner or stain remover over the area. Then you can either dab the spot clean or cover it with a cloth and treat with steam, just like the point before, with the iron.
- If the offending spot looks very sad now, try to make it look better by using the vacuum cleaner.
Tips
- You can also use kitchen roll or toilet paper. They absorb fat more easily, but they also ignite more easily.
- If it is colored wax, melt the wax out first as mentioned above. Then use a carpet cleaner to remove the remaining color stains.
Warnings
- Keep the iron moving. If you keep it still for too long, the paper will catch fire. Do not put the iron too hot, the wax will also melt at a low temperature and you immediately reduce the risk of fire.
