Ironing On A Carpet

If the carpet is a wool one put it on high.

Ironing on a carpet.

You don t necessarily have to replace the entire piece of carpet to fix the damage. Stay in each position for about 15 seconds then move the length of the iron. For nylon or similar use the low setting. Sometimes the iron sits for only a second and the very tops of the fibers are damaged.

The carpet in our homes takes more wear and tear than any other part so it s worth the effort to fix problem areas. Rewet the towel if necessary to prevent burning. Rub it in with a stiff bristled brush and leave for 2 hours. While you heat up the tape press the two edges of the carpet down into it and up against one another.

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. Apply light pressure with the iron. Under the edges of the carpet place a strip of carpet seam tape. Don t saturate the carpet just spray it lightly.

Fill the iron s tank with water and set to steam. No matter how it happens it will leave a very noticeable black mark. Go from one end of the seam to the other. When irons fall onto the carpet there are three different levels of burn marks that remain.

Spray the stain with 2 tablespoons of ammonia in a cup of hot water. Iron burns on carpet happen from time to time. Apply the iron to the towel moving slowly across the entirety of the seam.
