Question:

Matted-down carpet?

The carpet in my bedroom is matted down where I walk constantly [like the doorway area]. Is there anything I can do to make the fibers nice again? Standing straight up like they new again?

Answer:

i had a carpet rake at one time. it looks just like a leaf rake. vacuum really good and then use a leaf rake on it. it should look better but it is worn and will never look new again. how about a rug to cover it? good luck.
When I move furniture and the carpet is pressed down where the feet used to be, I put an ice cube in each divot, and by the next day the divots are gone. I don't know if this would help your problem, but it's worth a try. Another idea is to call a carpet cleaning company to see what they can do. I know after they clean the carpet, sometimes they comb or rake it, which left ours looking really fluffy.
