The moisture from the slowly melting ice cube gives the carpet fibers time to swell and regain their original shape.
Carpet dents ice cubes.
I have a couple of spots that i am now going to do this on and see if it works.
Don t let the iron touch the carpet it.
I have heard of doing this but haven t tried.
The higher the pile the better.
And if you re using this trick on carpet with a low pile or an intricately woven pattern it may take a few ice drops before you start to see results.
The first step is to hit up your freezer s automatic ice maker for supplies or simply freeze a tray of ice cubes before proceeding.
Coming over from in and out of the kitchen.
Let the ice cubes melt and leave the carpet to absorb the water from the ice overnight or for at least four hours.
This will give the fibers plenty of time to swell and start regaining their original shape and plumpness.
Thanks for the tip.
A coin will also work.
Place a clean damp cloth over them and hold an iron on medium heat several inches above the cloth for about 30 to 60 seconds.
Before you rearrange your furniture you re going to want to read this.
You can remove a carpet dent with just an ice cube and a spoon.
Or steam away dents.
Finally use the edge of a spoon to push the carpet fibers back in an upright position.
