Ice in a sealed bag can make gum or wax brittle enough to lift in small pieces. Do not cut or pull carpet yarn while removing the material. Heat-transfer methods can damage synthetic fibers or spread dye and should be used only with professional or manufacturer guidance. Remaining oily or colored residue may require a compatible solvent treatment.
