Question:

repairing burnt carpet?

my boyfriend tipped over his Hookah and burnt tons of tiny holes in his carpet, some just surface burns and some are somewhat deep, and theyre over about a 2 foot span, and all smaller than a dime. What is a non-costly way to fix the problem?We are going to try to trim some of the surface burns. The carpet is older than my boyfriend (so its 18+ years old) and they have no scraps.

Answer:

go to carpet store find some close matching piece tell them what your looking for then ask to talk to there carpet installer ask how much he will charge to take some carpet out of the closet and seam it in the burnt area and replace the closet carpet with what you bought no doubt this is a aparment and you dont want to buy them new carpet even though its probally shot like my apt carpet was had a dog that tore up some by a door and thats what i did
There is nothing you can do for burned carpet except to replace it.
when I lived in an apartment, I burned a hole from an ashtray in the carpet as big as a baseball, my neighbor and I took the carpet from the baseboards where they are hidden and filled the hole in with the scraps (carpet fuzz) and glue that lasted till I moved out 2 years later I don't know what happened after that, it was not noticeable.
