Fix stubborn carpet dents like this…

Share:

Does it annoy you that the dents in your carpets seem to stay even after vigorous brushing? Carpet dents usually happen when something heavy is left on it for a long time, like a coffee table or even the legs of your couch. But fret not, there’s something that can fix the dent and the answer lies in your fridge – ice!

Here’s how you do it:

  1. Take an ice cube and place it over the spot.

  2. Wait until it melts and the dent should be gone.

  3. You can also try “fluffing” the area with a fork or toothbrush to help the fibres to expand if needed.

  4. Lastly, dry pat with a cloth and your carpet will look so much better.

Put the ice on the carpet like this and leave it.

Here’s a video by Lifehacker to help you…
