Let the wax harden completely
Scrape off as much wax as possible with a dull knife or spoon
Place a paper towel, brown paper bag, or plain cloth over the wax
Set an iron to low or medium heat with no steam
Press the iron briefly over the paper to melt the wax
Move the paper to a clean spot and repeat until no more wax transfers
Vacuum the area after the wax is removed
If any stain remains, blot with a small amount of carpet cleaner or rubbing alcohol on a clean cloth
Test any cleaner on an inconspicuous area first
Let the rug dry completely
Brush the fibers gently to restore texture
