Freeze it first with an ice cube in a bag and scrape off as much hard wax as you can with a blunt knife. Then brown paper or a few sheets of paper towel over what's left, iron on a low to medium setting, and the wax melts into the paper. Move to a clean bit of paper and repeat until nothing more comes up. Keep the iron moving, too hot can melt synthetic carpet fibres. If coloured wax leaves a dye mark, dab it with rubbing alcohol.
