How do you remove the Furniture Indentations in a Carpet?
Question:I am moving and am wondering what is the best way to remove those indentations left in the carpet by the furniture.
Answers:
You can use a steam cleaner and vacuum to get the fibers in the carpet to bounce back up.
use a hot iron withj the steam setting as high as possible this will loosen the fiber in your carpet and return it to normal
Place an ice cube on them as it melts they will
pop back out
I second the ice cube...
My sisterinlaw rents apartments and there is zero problem in removing those indentations left as people move out.
The carpets are always cleaned for the new tennants using a steam method as required by our local code. The indentations left by the tennants leaving are easily removed by the carpet cleaners and not a trace of them remains.
If you are concerned about this it is not a problem and you will not be charged any fees or deductions from your deposit.
Call the rental office and they will confirm what I have written here.
JUST USE A HARD BRISTLE BRUSH AND VACCUM AFTER
Depends on the type of carpet, but I've had luck with placing an ice cube in the indentation. It will melt and loosen the packed carpet fibers, as it dries they stretch back out. Once dry, use your vacuum hose, or with the edger attachment, to lift the rest of the way.
Put an ice cube on the spots and let it melt and dry.Than vacumm it.
