How to remove wax from tablecloths and carpeting
To remove wax from tablecloths and carpets, you’ll need a household clothing iron, some paper towels, and home dry-cleaning solvent. First, place paper towel across the wax stain and press the heated iron lightly against the top surface. The applied heat will re-melt the wax, and will be absorbed into the paper towel. Do not leave the iron in one place for long, as it can scorch or burn the carpet beneath the paper towel.
