Question:

carpet wrinkles?

why does the floor carpet start showing some wrinkles? too old?

Answer:

I can suggest this. I think the best thing is to dampen it a little . You did?t say how large the carpet is, If it?s a wall to wall carpet , the wrinkles should have come out when it was laid, But if it?s a large centre carpet then with a damp sponge go over it and rub outwards.Or turn it over and stamp on it pushing your feet outward?s. I did this with a rug we had stores in the loft, it had been moved around so many times and never put straight. The wrinkles came
just piss on it and let it dry
That is due to a failure in the backing, Whenever you walk on the carpet, you stretch the backing and it returns to its original state. But in a failed backing, the carpet backing becomes longer, thus the wrinkle shows up. You can have it stretched, or rent a stretcher and do it yourself. However, wrinkles are a sign of a failed backing and can be only temporally taken out by stretching. They will reappear as the carpet backing fails further.
As carpet gets old, people drag their feet over the carpet, move furniture, etc. and the fabric of the carpet just gets stretched out. If it's not stained, for relatively little cost you can have someone come in an restretch it using a kicker to reinstall. However if the carpet is too old or stained, you may want to consider replacing it.
