Help! A three wick candle developed a hole in the side and leaked wax on my coffee table and onto the floor. The carpet is Berber. Candle wax is white and carpet is beige. The is a large amount ( two spots about 3 inches round)of wax on the rug. How do I get it off without pulling the fibers and leaving a stain on the Berber carpeting? Thanks.

An iron and a lot of clean white towels! Pluck and flake as much as you possibly can!!!! Use an Ice Pack to really harden the wax. It may get it all out this way, but....
Place the towel over the wax. Place the iron, on the towel, on top of the wax. **DON'T LEAVE IT THERE LONG** Drag the towel under your iron, but don't let the iron come in direct contact with the carpet or wax.
Next would be a patch, taken from a closet.
