Carpets are beautiful and lovely to look at especially when they are new. Because it is their purpose to be walked upon you will definitely see some signs of wear and tear after a few months only. There are so many aromatic candles in houses nowadays and the carpets get some candle wax after a while. It can be tough to remove the candle wax in carpets but read on to learn how to do it.
First step is to remove manually with your fingers the remaining candle wax. It is important that you perform this gently so as not to damage the carpet fibers. Just pry gently the wax that you can get your hands on and do not force it because you might pull out some of the fibers. Once you get the excess wax out of the carpet you can start with the process of removing those that are embedded in the carpet’s fibers.
Now, you will need a paper towel and a flat iron. Position the paper towel on the surface of the carpet where there is candle wax. It is important that you have the flat iron set on moderate heat to ensure that you do not damage the carpet fibers with too much heat. Slowly run the flat iron over the paper towel so it can melt the wax on the carpet fibers. Do this patiently and observe that there will appear some grease-like looking stains in the paper towel which is the wax being absorbed.
