So I accidentally dropped candle wax on the carpet. I rubbed off all the wax, but there seems to be a stain left on the carpet. Any help?

    Place a couple of white paper towels over the remaining wax and run a warm iron over the area. Repeat the process, using clean towels each time, until all the wax is gone. If wax residue remains, apply a bit of dry-cleaning solvent and blot.

    It might still be wax.
    Place newspaper over it, and take an iron on top of it. If it’s wax, it should lift up onto the newspaper. Repeat until the newspaper is clear of wax :)

    Get some paper towels or an old tshirt and use a warm iron to melt the wax into the towels or t-shirt. Keep moving to a clean spot on the t-shirt or paper towels and iron until no more wax comes up. If there is still a stain try some rubbing alcohol on it.
    Good Luck!

    After following all the good advise you are getting there is only one product on the market that really and truly removes stains on the carpet. Go to Walmart and buy spot shot and you will be forever thankful to me hahaha..but I do mean it…nothing works as good I have tried all other products on my lovely carpets..Good Luck to you…
