How to Remove Candle Wax from Carpet

When melted candle wax drips onto the carpet, it is a hot liquid that can smear if wiped right away. Once it cools, the wax is difficult to break off and remove, especially if it is deeply tangled in the carpet fibers. Once the larger pieces are pulled away, a lingering waxy residue can leave the carpet feeling crunchy or sometimes slick. 

 

Directions:

Option 1

1. Gently remove any excess wax with a bone spatula.
2. Apply Matrix Breakdown POG undiluted. Work in with a bone spatula.
3. Rinse thoroughly with water.
