So you happen to get candle wax in your
rug? Have you made the stain worse with home remedies? Don’t panic there’s
still hope for your beloved rug.
Wax removal isn’t easy but it’s still
manageable. Wax based candles are easier to remove. It is advised that the area
be chilled with an ice bag first. Using a dull knife lightly chip away at the
stain. Remove the wax debris with a vacuum. Repeat until most of the stain
comes out.
For the next step you will need paper and
an iron. Place the paper over the stain and lightly iron it. Wax should come
out gradually. Repeat for as many times as necessary.
Keep in mind that results may vary
depending on carpet fibers and wax colour. Vegetable oil based candles may need
a different treatment to come out of the rug. It might even require a
professional stream cleaning.
Take care to treat the carpet fibers
gently. Too much stress can thin the area and need repair.
