How do you uncurl an edge of an oriental rug?
Iron it is the best way but make sure you turn the rug over and iron it on the bottom side. Ironing on the top side does not solve the problem.
Pull it out flat and lay a heavy book on it for a few days. If you dont have a heavy book, lay a towel over the rug and put a brick on the towel. This will uncurl the edge and wont damage the rug.
Roll the corner under very tightly to bend it a bit, then lay something heavy (a stack of books) on it for a day. This should work, but if not, try getting some adhesive made to hold rugs in place. You can get it for carpeted floors with a rug, or non-stick items to hold the rug on hardwood or vinyl floors as well.
