Veet wax strips on the carpet...

[Trylski]

So had a few mates round for some beers, they found some wax strips from god knows where and the wax is stuck to the carpet in the living room...

Any suggestions on getting this wax out of the carpet?

Have tried putting some cloth over it then ironing on a low heat to get the wax to melt out. Dosnt seem to want to melt.

Cheers

Don't know if these suggestions work on Veet though. I have no idea what that's like.

Heat and kitchen towels work the best...keep at it, but it won't fix the carpet completely.

Have you tried using oil? Perhaps a light one like groundnut oil, just gently rub it into the wax and it should lift it.

steam cleaner?

Bah, I thought you'd found some revolutionary way to get stubborn stains out of carpets!

... I think flip's idea would have a better chance of success .

I'm fairly sure that Veet wax is water soluble. If you got one of those carpet washer things and used some hot water, that might do it.

[Lulu]

Actually, I just looked on their website and the strips come with 'finishing wipes'. I would guess that this means the wax strips aren't water soluble, in which case my suggestion would be rubbish.

I do wonder if somebody might have been confused by preparing for a bit of carpet munching?????

I got one of them waxing strips stuck in my hair about six months ago.

I accidentally left it on the toilet cistern after I used it, and forgot about it till the next morning, when I went for a wee, and all my hair was out long, and brushed against it and got all caught up in it.

Fuckin' thing! Couldn't get it out cos my hair is so thick and curly.

Now my hair's got a big chunk chopped out on one side

A wise move.
