What is the best way to get melted candle wax out of carpeting?
Remove as much wax as possible by hand using a serrated knife to help scrape the wax from the carpet fibers. Then take a brown paper bag and cut a section that is twice the size of the affected carpet area and place over the wax stain. Then take a preheated electric iron set on medium and "iron" over the paper bag piece. The wax in the carpet will melt and be absorbed into the paper. Several tries may be necessary using fresh pieces of brown paper bag to get all of the candle wax out.

Ouch! Use a bread knife or spoon and scrape away as much of the wax as possible. The more you can physically remove this way, the less risk of permanently staining the carpet.

Be careful not to let the carpet overheat and allow the iron to melt the fibers.
