The good news in most cases you can safely and easily remove it without a whole lot of hassle. The easiest types of wax to remove safely are the ones that do not have dyes or colors added to them, since these typically will not leave stains on the floor. However, since most avid candle lovers typically do use candles which use dyes and colors then you do end up more often than not having wax that may leave a mark even after you’ve removed it.

Here is what you will need:

Brown Paper Bag or Butcher Paper
Iron

The first thing you will want to do is to lay the brown paper bag on top of the spilled wax you want to remove. Next, heat your iron to a low setting (lower is better – too high of a heat may cause more problems plus you risk burning your carpeting!) and then carefully iron the paper bag. Do not leave the iron on in anyone spot for too long since you are applying heat to paper and it can burn!

Once the wax has slightly melted, pick up the piece of paper and be amazed that it has attached itself to the paper and is no longer attached to the floor!

If you do happen to notice that some of the dye may have left a mark, you can then use your regular carpet stain remover to get rid of whatever may be left.

Note: Irons are hot and can be dangerous to use. Only an adult should use an iron – it’s much better to have mom and Dad be upset you spilled wax which they can easily remove than to find out your burnt yourself or the rug! Always follow the safety instructions included with your iron to prevent injury or property damage.

Now that you know this simple trick on how to remove wax from carpet you’ll be able to burn your candles without worrying about spilled wax not being able to come out of the rug! Burn Safely!

Many people wonder and ask me all the time about the scents and colors meaning of candles. This goes back to many ancient times a really, really long time ago, as it was believed that burning certain colors would help you achieve different things. I really find this quite fascinating actually. While I haven’t really experimented this in great detail to know if this is true or not, I have always found the use of candles for bringing positive energies into your life quite intriguing.

Red: Passion, fire, love, romance:
If you need to fire up your love life or add more passion or have something that is urgent, then red is the color candle you should burn to channel your energies into it.

White: Pure, Clean, Fresh, Gentle:
White is one of my favorite colors, and it is a good one to have. It often represents purity and cleanliness. So if you needed some help clearing your head to make a decision, white candles could be the ticket that you need.

Green: Money, Growth, Earth
Who doesn’t want more money? Well, I don’t know if burning a green candle will instantly make you rich, but if it smells good, I don’t see much harm in trying.

Blue: Loyalty, Truth, Calm, Serenity
This is a color you would burn if you needed to seek the truth in a situation or needed a calming effect on something.

Yellow: Friendship, Optimistic, Happiness
Yellow is a color that is typically associated with friendship, and feelings of being optimistic. It can also symbolize happiness. Think of the sunshine when you think of the color yellow and that is what you can use this color for.
