Carpet Repairing - How to Repair a Carpet

A very minor damage seen on carpets is that it gets wrinkled due to the heavy weight of the furniture. To get rid of the crushed fibers of the carpet, sprinkle some water on the crushed area to moisten the surface and then blow dry it with an hair dryer. While blow drying, keep rubbing your hand over the fiber. This will remove the crushes on the carpet. If there is a slight burn or stain on the carpet fiber, you can simply trim the fiber with a pair of scissors or nail clippers. Make sure you do not cut too much of material, as that may look unsightly.
