how do you remove?

Just got home...

looked like cat splatter on the carpet..

but it's wax! doggone women knocked a candle over. she's beating it up with a screwdriver to break up the cold wax and vacuum it.




is there a better solution to fix this?

[fstAZfk]

try using ice. SHould make it brittle. I think i heard that somewhere anyways. Worth a try.

Why not use a hair dryer and some paper towels. I've gotten it up before doing this. It takes a while to get it all out but it worked.

Yeppers....try and get it frozen or somethin...

[PACIFICBUSA]

or you could try a steam-vac...

[fstAZfk]

thats cool(hairdryer), but you would think by heating the wax it would spread causing the wax ( and dye ) to spread even more, making a larger stain, or deeper anyways.

Anywhoo, what ever works right? let us know so we can let our wives know.. haahaa

Get a can of that 'dust-off' stuff. (kinda like compressed air, but with different chemicals).

INVERT the can and spray it on the wax...INSTANT FREEZE!

When the can is inverted the stuff that comes out is like a liquid-nitrogen effect! It's cooooold! (don't get it on yer skin!

)

Anyway, once it's frozen, just scrape it off.

you can get the most of it up by getting it cold then melt whats left with a hairdryer.

Use an iron on a low setting with paper towels. Works great!!!!

Had better luck using a Brown paper sack without any print on it..... Very the heat depending on your carpet style!

Place the rear tire of your Busa on it and do a burnout.

I'm not 100% sure about this, but I've heard that your insurance company will cover replacing it due to knocking a candle over...

I hope it's not a rumor; been thinking of "dumping" a candle on my carpet for years to get some new stuff in the house!

Call the insurance co; it's worth a shot...
