One of our regular clients from Great Eccleston got in contact with us to explain they had spilt a wax candle onto her wool carpet. Luckily from experience and discussions with us she knew the best thing to do is to call us. Removing wax from carpets can be a challenge. This is often made more difficult with a deep-piled carpet such as the this one.
Fortunately, we were able to remove this fully with our experience in removing wax. So many people are tempted to scrape, melt or find advice online of how best to remove wax from their carpets. It is understandable that individuals may panic about what best to do.
Some advice available suggests:
- Trying to remove the wax by heating the area with an iron and towel
- Using vinegar
- By using carpet or upholstery cleaning products
Our tried-and-tested methods offer brilliant results for fully removing the wax without leaving a stain. Wax on carpet fibres can leave a coating. This residue can easily attract dirt and grime. This is why it is important to fully remove all residue. If left, this will quickly stain. You may not be left with wax, but you will be left with an area of your carpet that will look unsightly.
Heating your carpet with an iron, whether it a wool carpet or synthetic carpet is quite dangerous. If the iron comes into direct contact with the carpet, it is likely to burn the fibres. Synthetic carpets burn very quickly, and this can cause irreversible damage.
We at Brights Cleaning work hard to offer results that cannot be rivalled by our competition. This is both in the finishes we achieve and the high level of customer service that we offer.
