Great Party Trick
So I was at a party the other day and somebody accidentally knocked over a candle. Luckily the candle was on a table so the house did not burn down but a LOT of wax spilled onto a very nice carpet.
When that wax hit that carpet there was a collective Oh Sh #! because the carpet had a heavy pile. Fortunately there was a woman there named Joy who jumped in to save the day. Without further ado I present to you her technique for getting wax out of carpet (because you never know when this might happen to you):
Step 1: Place butchers paper on the wax - shiny side up
Step 2: Cover the butchers paper with a paper bag -- standard grocery store brown bag will work
Step 3: Press the bag with a hot iron and the wax will lift right off
