    Lay ice over it to harden it if the room temp is warm.After it solidifies , take a fine tooth side of a comb and work it out.That way it wont ruin the carpet fibers.

    Put a bag of ice/frozen peas on it to harden it, then it should come right out. That's what I would try before making it messier with heat.

    Put a towel on the ground and put a hot iron on top of the towel. It should come right out.

  • hair dryer and a scrubbie brush (like cinderella uses to clean the floor). The idea is to melt the wax....
