My son just dumped candle wax on my navy blue carpet! How do I get it up? TIA

Put down paper towels over the wax, and run your iron over that. i.e., melt the wax and blot it up with paper towels. Remember to change the paper towels as the wax is absorbed.

You learn something new everyday, I'll surly be keeping this one.

Thanks again, Rayanne! I had just had my house cleaned (a first for me!) because I am having out of town guests. My son knocked over the candle spilling white wax in a huge area on my navy blue carpet! My ds thanks you, too!

Woohoo!! That's what I was going to suggest! It's happened to me before and that's exactly what I did. I'm glad you got it out
