Ice Carpet Indentation

The higher the pile the better.

Ice carpet indentation.

From cold to hot. When you feel the carpet start to rise up stop ironing and separate the carpet fibers with your fingers. And if you re using this trick on carpet with a low pile or an intricately woven pattern it may take a few ice drops before you start to see results. Then place a towel over the wet spot and iron with steam.

Place an ice cube on the indentation and allow it to melt in place a large dent may require more than one cube. An easy and simple way to remove carpet impressions left by furniture is to place an ice cube in the indentation. Let the ice melt for at least a few hours. For larger indentations use several ice cubes the goal is to wet the carpet fibers slowly allowing them to soak up the moisture as the cubes melt.

My personal favorite is to put an ice cube in each indentation and let cubes slowly melt. To remove indentations caused from furniture that has been atop carpet for a long period of time simply allow one or two ice cubes to melt in the indentation. As the ice cubes melt the compressed carpet fibers will slowly absorb the water. The ice cubes will slowly melt and after 12 hours blot up any wet spots with an absorbent towel or sponge.

Leave the ice cube for a long period of time such as. Wait 12 hours blot up wet spots then use the edge of a spoon to lift carpet fibers back up. The more water the fibers absorb the fuller and more swollen they ll become and this will reduce the indentation. The carpet doesn t have to be 100 percent dry slightly damp is fine.

Then wait until it melts and the dent should be gone. Fill the dent with ice cubes. Finally pat with a cloth and your carpet or rug will be as good as new. If the carpet has a dent that is very large or long you may need to place a couple of ice cubes to fill the spot.

Use as many ice cubes as you need to fill the dent completely. Give dents the cold shoulder by placing a large ice cube or multiple cubes if you re dealing with larger indentations directly into the carpet divot. This handy little hack is fine for most carpets just be sure your carpet content can handle a few small puddles of water that might appear the next morning. You can also fluff the area with a fork or toothbrush to allow the fibers to expand if necessary.

Work the damp carpet fibers back and forth with your hand the.
