    Some wax will dye the carpet and nothing can be done. If you remove all of contaminants of the wax and still have a stain then a professional may be able to remove the remaining color. However, since you have used bleach you have probably set the stain or made it worse.

    You could always have the carpet dyed by a professional to hide the stain. Here is an example of a carpet dyeing company.

    Or hire someone to take a piece of carpet from a closet or somewhere else and replace it with the stained area.

    Hmmmm well, that's pretty nasty. Have you tried heating the spot gently and wicking up any remaining wax with a cotton cloth? Then I would try Oxyclean since that oxygenates and helps lift up stains. Beyond that keep trying.

    EDIT: Ummm, you can also try white vinegar and Arm and Hammer baking soda.

    I had this problem a few weeks ago, I scrapped as much of the wax i could with a plastic spatula and then used 1001 carpet cleaner (think that's what its called) and was amazed that the stain completely disappeared. Good luck.

    Try some peroxide on the spot.
