How to Get Wax off of Carpet

When wax melts into carpet, wait for it to harden. Scrape the hardened wax loose with a butter knife and vacuum up the chunks. Next, dampen a white cotton towel, fold it in half and place it over the wax. Press an iron set on high over the towel for 10 seconds to draw out any remaining wax. Finally, use a spray cleaner on the stain and scrub it into the carpet with a spoon. Dab it dry with a clean white towel. Here’s a more in-depth look on how to get wax out of carpet.

What to do With Wine, Coffee and Tomato Sauce Spills

Especially after a party, you may have to deal with spills on your carpet. Start by pushing the hose of a wet/dry vacuum directly onto the carpet fibers and leave it in place for several seconds. Then apply a cleaning solution.

You can make your own by mixing 1/4 teaspoon dish soap (clear is best) with one cup water. Pour the mixture into a spray bottle and apply it to the soiled area. Allow the solution to soak in for a few minutes, then fold a clean white cloth into a small square and dab the carpet, starting at the outside edge. Finally, dab or spray clean water onto the area until the stain has disappeared.
