What to do if you spill Scentsy Candle Wax on your carpet/ clothing??

 First of all....relax. Believe me, you will get the wax out.

Using your hands, a plastic knife, a comb or brushes, try to pick up as much of the excess Scentsy candle wax as possible.

Set your iron to the lowest possible setting because Scentsy candle wax melts at such a low tempature.

Place three or four paper towels or a folded washcloth over the candle wax. You want to make sure these are white paper towels, as the dyes may bleed onto the fabric or carpet when heated by the iron.

Gently iron the paper towels that are covering the Scentsy candle wax. Make sure to keep the iron in motion so the carpet or paper towels do not burn. Also be sure not to directly touch the fabric or carpet with the iron. If you are worried about burning the carpet or fabric, you can set your iron on high, then hover it less than an inch away and let the steam heat the paper towels. I find the steam really helps to bring up the wax.

The wax will begin to liquify and be absorbed by the paper towels. Keep using fresh paper towels as they become saturated by the candle wax, or refold the washcloth so a clean side is available.

If the candle wax that left the stain was colored, pour a tiny amount of rubbing alcohol on a clean cloth and softly daub the spot.

If the above steps still leave some wax behind, there are some commercial candle wax removers on the market. Caution is recommended, as certain dyes in the fabric or carpet might fade. Verify with the manufacturer if in question.
