I had a large candle full of hot wax spill down the front of me on a light blue sweater & all over my marroon carpet. The wax was pumpkin colored. I was told to take a brown bag & lay on the carpet & iron the bag. I did it & it all came out .I never thought I could wear my sweater again, but it all came out too. I wasn't even burned when the wax hit my face & body.
