    I sell Scentsy Warmers. Yesterday my son-in-law was playing with his really big dog. He hit the table and splash went the warmer. Wax went all over the carpet and the wall.

    Here is how we took it off the carpet.

    Take a old dish town or anything that will stand high heat. Lay it on the was. Take your iron on a high setting and place it on the towel. For some reason the heat draws the wax to the towel. I moved mine around to a clean spot and kept applying the iron until it came up.
