Iron burns on carpet happen from time to time.
Ironing on a carpet.
Whether you accidentally dropped a hot iron or scorched it while working on iron on crafts there s not much you can do to remove the stain once the heat.
Stay in each position for about 15 seconds then move the length of the iron.
Fill the iron s tank with water and set to steam.
You don t necessarily have to replace the entire piece of carpet to fix the damage.
Apply the iron to the towel moving slowly across the entirety of the seam.
If the carpet is a wool one put it on high.
Don t saturate the carpet just spray it lightly.
Go from one end of the seam to the other.
Rewet the towel if necessary to prevent burning.
For nylon or similar use the low setting.
While you heat up the tape press the two edges of the carpet down into it and up against one another.
Rub it in with a stiff bristled brush and leave for 2 hours.
The carpet in our homes takes more wear and tear than any other part so it s worth the effort to fix problem areas.
Under the edges of the carpet place a strip of carpet seam tape.
Sometimes the iron sits for only a second and the very tops of the fibers are damaged.
Apply light pressure with the iron.
No matter how it happens it will leave a very noticeable black mark.
Spray the stain with 2 tablespoons of ammonia in a cup of hot water.
Scorch marks happen even on carpet.
