Simple Solutions for Common Carpet Problems

If your carpet is discolored or just has those annoying carpet depressions left by moving heavy furniture, the information below can help you fix these problems and save you money.

Spot Remover Took the Color from Your Carpet? Possible Solutions -

If the spot remover you used altered the color of your carpet, try touching up small places with artists' acrylic paint. If acrylic paint doesn't work, try using a felt-tip marker or a permanent-ink marker of the appropriate color. Go slowly, and blend the color into the fibers.

This solution works well for low traffic carpet areas.  However, it is vital that you match the color of your carpet as closely as possible.

How to Remove Depressions from Your Carpet -

To raise depressions left in a carpet by heavy furniture, try steaming. Hold a steam iron close enough for steam to reach the carpet, but do not let the iron touch the fibers, especially if they are synthetic, because they could melt. Lift the fibers by scraping them with the edge of a coin or spoon.

This simple process allows the carpet fibers to relax and gentle pressure from the coin or spoon helps them stand back up.
