Gently scrape off the excess wax using a metal spatula or knife. Fold several layers of paper towels or absorbent material and place over the stain. Sponge final traces of the stain with a commercial dry-cleaning solvent. These chemicals can be found in such spot removers as Guardsman's Afta, Dap Cleaner and Thinner, Goof Off, M-1 Remover, Goo Gone, Oops, etc. When using solvent-based cleaners on carpet, be careful not to overwet the carpet.
Solvents can destroy the carpet backing.
It may take a few applications of the cleaner with resting or drying time in between to remove all the color of the wax. If dye remains, dilute 1 part rubbing alcohol with 2 parts water. Apply to the stain in small amounts. Blot thoroughly after each application. Allow to dry.
