You could try this from the prochem stain removal guide

Candle Wax
Scrape off as much as possible with a spatula or blunt knife.Apply
Chewing Gum Remover, then break up and remove pieces.Apply
Citrus Gel or Solvall Spotter and blot.

Ive used the brown papper and iron method when chems just dont get that last bit out and its worked really well.

work the iron in circular motions and dont leave the iron still or you could scorch/burn carpet.

for the dye try red rx.prochem.

[spindle]

remove most of the wax manually..........iron with paper/terry towel..........citrus gel to remove residue..............red rx if necessary!

same as on the course john, iron and brown paper, then was it oxidising bleach? with a damp towel and iron, just remember about the dye in the carpet, test first or you could have a white patch. take some beige crayons just in case.

There is the potential for two different staining problems. Wax and pigment. The wax should be removed first. Using heat to melt and remove the wax may set the pigment stain. So scrape as much wax off as possible, then treat with a solvent or alcohol spotter to soften and remove it. Often, this will remove the pigment element too. If not, treat the residual red stain in your normal way. As long as the wax has been removed, subject to testing, there should be no problem in using heat at this stage.

Safe and happy cleaning
