TLDR: Getting wax out of carpet can be difficult but is possible through the use of low-setting dryer or by using a solvent to help break down the oils in the wax, which in turn makes removal easier.

When it comes to removing wax from carpet, there are a few different methods you can try.

#1 The most popular method is to use a hairdryer on the low setting. Simply hold the hairdryer over the wax spot and wait for the wax to melt. Once it has melted, use a paper towel or a clean cloth to blot up the wax.

#2 Another method for removing wax from carpet is to use an ice pack. Simply place the ice pack on top of the wax spot and wait for it to harden. Once it has hardened, you can easily scrape it off with a butter knife or a similar object.

#3 Another option If you have any type of solvent on hand, such as rubbing alcohol, nail polish remover, or even WD-40, you can also use that to remove wax from carpet. Simply apply the solvent to a clean cloth and blot at the wax spot until it comes up. Be sure to test the solvent on an inconspicuous area of the carpet first to make sure it won’t damage the fibers.

#4 Finally, if you have a steam cleaner, you can use that to remove wax from the carpet. Simply hold the steam cleaner over the wax spot and wait for the wax to melt. Once it has melted, you can vacuum up the wax with the attachment.
