One of the
most easiest and homely method to remove
a wax from your rug or carpet is to use
an iron. You need to be careful and
watchful if you decide to go by this
method. Take a white terry cloth towel
and get it damp. Make sure that the
cloth is damp and now turn the iron on
to the lowest setting. Wait a minute
until the iron is hot. Be sure you have
water in the iron as well because you
may need the steam.
Now place the damp terry cloth towel
over the wax and fold the towel so that
you are double layered. If the terry
towel is thin feel free and fold it
again over the wax spot. Place the iron
on the terry cloth towel and work in a
circular motion. Do not leave the iron
in just one spot as you do not want to
singe the carpet. After about ten
seconds lift the towel and see if any of
the wax has come off. If it has, then
rotate the towel to an area that is
clean.
You may have to repeat this process
several times. Depending on your iron
you may need to turn the heat up a
little. Always start at the lowest
setting because you do not want to
accidentally singe the carpet. After a
few attempts you should be able to
remove wax from carpet with easy.
Another alternative method to remove wax
could be a hair dryer. Try covering the
wax with a cloth or paper as described
above, then use a hair dryer to heat up
the wax. Or you can use ice to freeze
the wax and then pick it out of your
carpet.
To remove stains left from coloured wax,
try gently dabbing the stain with a rag
dampened with rubbing alcohol. If the
alcohol doesn't do the trick, then try
using dry cleaning solvent.
