Removing Carpet Dents

RE: Removing Carpet Dents Post by LV_JENN (5) | (10/02/2008) Contact The ice cube method works well for removing furniture dents, but make sure that the water doesn't damage the carpet, carpet backing, or subfloor. If you use an iron, make sure to put it on "steam" setting and don't place it directly on the carpet or it will burn the fibers. Use a brush to pull the fibers and blend them in with the rest of the carpet.

Follow up by blotting the area with a dry towel and vacuum to straighten the fibers.

We now have carpet dents in the carpet and cannot get them out. How do we remove carpet dents from berber carpet? charlievon Answers: RE: Removing Carpet Dents Try letting an ice cube melt in the dent. This should help revive the spot. (03/07/2005) By Genny RE: Removing Carpet Dents I have heard that if you put ice cubes in the indentation that this will lift the pile of your carpeting. Just leave them melt overnight. Hope it works for you. (03/07/2005) By sewingmamma RE: Removing Carpet Dents If the ice cube doesn't work you can lift them with the steam from a steam iron BUT you have to be careful you don't burn the carpet. Put a cloth over the dent and hold the iron above to cloth to allow the steam to penetrate. Lift the cloth occasionally and scrape the dent with your nail to lift the pile. Repeat until the dent is reduced/repaired then leave to dry out thoroughly before walking over it.
