Re: paraffin wax on carpet

[alisondenn]

Help!! does anybody know how to remove paraffin wax from carpet. I've had a massive spill on my carpet my husband is going to go mad!!. I've hoovered up the wax but left with a massive white stain, what do u think i can put on it other than a rug to hide the mess.

hi
i have done that before too
put paper towels over the wax and with a cool to warm iron.....
iron over the towels
they will absorb the wax
you may need to replace the towels to get it all
but use a coolish iron
or u may burn your carpet
good luck
