What to do when you’ve spilled candle wax
We’ve written about how to clean carpet effectively by making sure you don’t skip some important first steps. And candle wax is one of those special stains! To make sure that you get all the wax off your carpet, simply:
- Place some ice cubes in a plastic bag.
- Rub over the area until the wax is hard and brittle.
- Cover the area with a tea towel or kitchen towel.
- Shatter the wax using a rolling pin or heel of a shoe.
- Vacuum thoroughly.
- Apply 1001 Carpet Stain Remover or 1001 Mousse.
- Massage the product into the stained area.
- Remove excess liquid with a dry cloth.
- Leave the area to dry, then vacuum again.
It’s that easy! And if the extra hassle of carpet cleaning after a big spill has made you swear off scented candles, don’t worry!
