Furniture Dents in Carpet |
|
|
I recently moved some heavy furniture in my living room. How do I get rid of the imprints in my carpet from the couch?

After reading the above suggestions I used a steam iron and towel to remove carpets dents in good carpet where a sofa sat for eight years in the same place. Can not see them now. Thanks folks.

The iron worked perfectly. Set the iron to "cotton", then put a t-shirt over the dents and steamed a couple of times. Each dent only took about 30 seconds to fix.

The steam from an iron and the towel did the trick!

What I saw on TV said to put ice cubes wait for them to melt and then take an old toothbrush and scrub the dent then go over it with a vacuum. Hope this helps :p

I tried the ice cubes but it wasn't successful. I then used a wire brush and a fork to lift the carpet. Then a hair dryer and a fork which was more successful, then vacuumed over it. Hasn't cleared it completely but looks a lot better. I think this is just where the under-lay has been flattened.

I've used the ice cubes for many years, as I routinely move the furniture in our home around. Just put an ice cube into each dent, let it melt, blot up excess water, and fluff with a fork....you may have to vacuum a couple of times, but it works.

First make sure how your carpet fiber is to be cleaned, then make sure you have a wet vac or a carpet cleaner machine. Get a wet cloth with what ever your carpet can stand, dampen not soak the area, then use the vac or cleaning machine to pull the carpet back up. I have done this every 30 mins or so until carpet looked lifted. May not lift padding but carpet should look better. (10/07/2004)

I heard you can put ice cubes on that spot. Never tried it, but you might. (10/07/2004)

I've also heard of using the tines of a fork rubbing them gently back and forth over the 'dented' areas - claims to raise the fibers back in place. (10/08/2004)

To take the marks from furniture out of carpet, put a soft towel over the marks and use a steam iron. Let the steam penetrate the towel and the nap on the carpet will come up. Just a quick brush with your hand will make it look good as new. (10/09/2004)

I used a Scunci Steamer and a fork. Took awhile, but it did the trick. (04/08/2005)
