Paraffin Wax Removal from Carpet
Paraffin Wax Spot & Stain Removal from Carpets and Rugs
For undyed candle:
- Using a pair of Bane-Clene Duckbill Napping Shears, vertically, cut the wax up into smaller pieces and then scrape up as much wax as possible.
- Place a DAMP white terry cloth over the area. Warm up an iron to the medium setting. Set the hot iron onto the towel for about 30 seconds to melt the wax and absorb the wax into the towel. Repeat if necessary. CAUTION: Do not use this on wool or olefin carpet. This process can remove color.
- Use Saf-T-Solv™ Dry Volatile Spotter to remove any remaining residue.
For dyed candle:
- Using a pair of Bane-Clene Duckbill Napping Shears vertically, cut the wax up into smaller pieces and then scrape up as much wax as possible.
- Cover stain with dry towel.
- Heat spot with steaming iron to dissolve wax (usually about 1/2 minute) - do not draw entire deposit into towel.
- After application of heat, IMMEDIATELY apply Power Gel by Pro’s Choice to hot wax deposit and gently agitate with Carpet Shark to put wax into solution with the Power Gel.
- Rinse area using hot water extraction.
