    Candle wax spilt on the carpet. Take some brown paper and lay it over the candle wax, take a medium/hot iron and hold for a few seconds on top of the paper. Lift off iron, remove paper, candle wax should be on the paper. You may need to repeat a second time. Never put wet solutions onto spilt candle wax as it will fix the wax.
