how to repair flattened carpet?
We used to take a rake and fluff the carpet,that is a rake for leaves .good luck....
Depends on how old it is and the quality of the carpet. If it was purchased in the last 10/15 years and your talking a large area,it may or may not have the memory retention built into the carpet. If it does, a good cleaning by a professional , truck mounted person can bring some life back yo it.Some lower quality carpets don t have this and you may not be able to. If your talking small area like a chair leg that has crushed it down, try 2 different methods.One is to let a ice cube set on the spot and then vacuum it. Two is to take a steam iron and steam the area. Don t touch the carpet with the iron, you ll melt it.Just inject steam into the dent. Work it a bit with your fingers to bring it back up.. Any questions you can e mail me through my avatar. GL
I've used several methods to fix mine. If it's a small carpet (like an area rug) you can use a coin (like a quarter). Simply hold it on its side and rub it back and forth over the carpet. Another method is the spray bottle method. Sprits your carpet with water, let is sit for about 15 minutes, and vacuum. This will take 3 or 4 attempts. Always let the carpet completely dry before the next attempt. The last method is a pain, but one that I find works the best. Take a steam iron to your carpet. You'll have to do it in sections if it's a large carpet. After allowing the steam to penetrate deeply into the carpet, take a stiff brush and go over the area until the nap of the carpet it restored to its original condition.
