Hi orgers we have had a wee accident where candle wax has ended up on our living room carpet and whatever we try we cant seem to shift it all...has anyone got any miracle or old time cure for this? The carpet is a short pile wool mix.....any help gratefully accepted

Brown paper or even kitchen roll,place over the wax stain and iron with a warm iron,repeat until it has all been removed,best to use different paper each time so as none is transferred back accidentaly x
