RE: Removing Carpet Dents
Let me tell you, Mr. skeptical (me) tried the steam/towel method. I used it on some dents that were from furniture that hasn't moved in 4 yrs. It worked great!

I have tried ice cubes, steam iron and hot water, but nothing is lifting the dents in my new Berber carpeting.

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.

I just got Martha Stewart's Homekeeping Handbook and it says to place ice cubes where the pile is crushed and the fibers will swell as they absorb the water. Follow up by blotting the area with a dry towel and vacuum to straighten the fibers.

Request: Removing Carpet Dents
Archived on 12/12/2006
We have Berber carpet and have re-arranged furniture. We now have carpet dents in the carpet and cannot get them out. How do we remove carpet dents from berber carpet?

Try letting an ice cube melt in the dent. This should help revive the spot. (03/07/2005)

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)

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. (03/07/2005)

I always used the ice cube, then after it melts, you use an old fork to gently pull the carpet fibers back up -- sort of "fluff" the carpeting. (03/14/2005)
