Use paper towel nstead of brown paper....even more absorbant.....
And it likely will remove the red wax.....I got redw ax out of light carpet using that method.

I used a very damp towel and an iron on low heat - purple wax on beige carpeting came out completely!

Trick is to be patient, use VERY damp towel and low enough heat to melt wax but not carpet fibers. Better to go slow and ramp up the temperature than to damage the rug. It took me about 15 minutes.

thanks for all the advice. mom said she was going to try it tonight. i haven't heard from her yet to know whether it worked, buuuuuuuut i'm thinking "no news is good news," or she'd be calling me all upset!

thanks again. :)

Wow, it worked. I put three wet paper towels folded into quarters and ironed on the rayon setting and blotted with dry paper towels and the stain was gone in 5 minutes. It was a really think and nasty stain too. Thanks.

If ever you have this problem again and the iron/paper towel application doesn't quite get it all....denatured alcohol poured on the spot and swabbed up with more paper towel will get the last vestiges of the stuff. I just removed some dark green wax from a silvery beige carpet this way.

Its a pretty easy stain to remove actually.
