Furniture Dents in Carpet

RE: Furniture Dents in Carpet Post By Steve (Guest Post) (06/28/2008) 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. Report Spam or Abuse RE: Furniture Dents in Carpet Post By Stan (Guest Post) (03/15/2008) 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.

Hope this helps :p Report Spam or Abuse RE: Furniture Dents in Carpet Post By Tom (Guest Post) (02/22/2007) 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.

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.

Beth Answers: RE: Furniture Dents in Carpet 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) By Jayne RE: Furniture Dents in Carpet 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) By CATS719 RE: Furniture Dents in Carpet 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.
