How to get out red melted wax on carpet?

HELP!!! i am sure you get this question all the time, i love candles everywhere in my house, but i also use a candle warmer. that turns the candles to liquid and sure enough, somehow my candles get knocked over and poured all over my light colored rose carpet. i have at least 5 places in my home with red candle wax here and there. someone told us about a brown paper bag and iron over it till it comes up, i still have red stains left behind. is there a better way or something to bring up that awful red stain?! thanks a bunch(my husband thanks you) barbara reed- texas

Turn off the television and teach your children how to think.

I don't use candles, so I don't have this problem. I did find several sites which offer suggestions which I list below:

www.wikihow.com/Remove-Wax-from-Carpet

www.wisegeek.com/how-do-i-remove-wax-from-carpet.htm

howtocleanstuff.net/.../carpet/how-to-remove-wax-from-carpet

www.ehow.com/how_2587_remove-wax-carpet.html

www.essortment.com/home/removingcandle_smpb.htm

Please be advised that I have not tried any of these methods, so I cannot speak as to their efficacy nor whether any method will be safe for your carpets.
