How to Get Scentsy Wax Out of Carpet (Easy & Mess-Free!)

Spilled wax on your carpet? Don’t panic—I’ve been there! 🙈

When I was a teenager, I accidentally spilled purple candle wax on my mom’s brand-new carpet. I thought I was doomed, but my grandmother saved the day with this super simple trick—and now I’m sharing it with you!

If you’ve ever wondered, "How do I remove Scentsy wax from my carpet?", this method will have your floors looking good as new in just a few minutes.

What You’ll Need:

✔️ Brown paper bag or wax paper

✔️ Warm iron (low heat, NO steam)

✔️ Butter knife or spoon

✔️ Vacuum or carpet-safe cleaner (optional for residue)

Step-by-Step: How to Remove Scentsy Wax from Carpet

1️⃣ Let the Wax Harden – Don’t try to wipe it up while it’s melted! Let it cool completely or speed up the process with an ice pack.

2️⃣ Gently Scrape the Wax – Use a butter knife or spoon to lift off as much hardened wax as possible.

3️⃣ Use Heat to Absorb the Wax – Place a brown paper bag or wax paper over the wax. Gently press a warm iron (low heat, no steam) over the paper. The heat will melt the wax, and the paper will absorb it like magic!

4️⃣ Repeat as Needed – If any wax remains, move to a clean section of the bag and repeat until the wax is completely gone.

5️⃣ Clean Up Any Residue – If a slight stain remains, dab the area with rubbing alcohol or a carpet-safe cleaner.

Does This Work on Clothes, Drapes & Bedding? YES!

This heat and absorb method works for more than just carpets! If you’ve spilled Scentsy wax on clothes, curtains, bedspreads, or upholstered furniture, follow these same steps with just a few small adjustments:

🧺 Clothes & Bedding → Place a paper bag or wax paper over the wax, then use a warm iron on low heat to lift it away. For delicate fabrics, place a thin towel between the fabric and the iron to prevent damage.

🪟 Drapes & Upholstery → If possible, remove the fabric from its frame or rod. Lay it flat, place a paper bag over the wax, and lightly press with a low-heat iron until the wax transfers onto the paper. If the fabric cannot be removed, blot the area carefully with a warm towel after lifting the wax.

💦 Extra Tip: If any oil or discoloration remains after removing the wax, sprinkle baking soda or cornstarch on the area to absorb excess residue before using a gentle fabric cleaner.

✨ That’s it! Your carpet, clothes, and fabrics are saved, and no one will ever know there was a wax mishap!
