I have a Catholic church to do next Thursday, quite a lot of the stuff, usually try solvex but may try an iron with towel or brown paper which i have heard is better????

Went to one a couple of weeks ago where the customer had tried the iron and paper technique and had managed to ruin the carpet!

Has to be the non shiny type of brown paper so it absorbs the wax when you iron over it.
