How to Remove Wax From Carpet With Ease
If you act according to the following tips, you can free your carpets of wax in a couple of minutes.
Read on.
Method One First off, put an ice bag on the stains in order to harden and solidify the stained area.
Once the stains become solid, you can easily remove it.
Now, get a knife and chip away the stains with it.
Try to remove as much of stains as possible.
After the removal of wax, you should spray a cleaner on the area.
You can choose a cleaning solvent or a carpet spray.
To remove the color left by stains, you can rub them with alcohol.
Lastly, vacuum the carpet.
Method Two Get a sheet of paper bag and put it on the stain's edge.
Now, put a towel below the part of the bag which is not over the stains.
Now, you should move the bag while the wax continues to saturate.
Warm up your iron and start to iron the paper bag.
The paper bag will absorb the wax from the carpet.
While it starts to saturate, you should slide it out on the towel in order to expose it to the new area of the bag not covered with wax.
Go to the clean area of the bag while the stains are saturated.
Leaving the iron on an area for too long is not a good idea.
After all, you may not want to burn your carpets.
You should remove the iron as soon as the stains are gone.
If the stain has just occurred, you should apply some alcohol on the area and rub it.
Now, put a cloth on the area and iron it once again.
It is better if you spray the area using a cleaning solvent or carpet spray.
Then you can use a rag to blot the area.
Afterwards, you can iron the area by switching the steam settings on.
Last but not least, if the carpet or rug seems a bit worse due to wear and tear, you can vacuum it.
Vacuuming will put a new life into the carpet and will make it look like new.
If neither of the methods seems to work for you, you can hire a professional carpet cleaner.
We hope that you will find these methods helpful in getting your rugs cleaned.
Just take your time and be careful.
