Ironing On A Carpet

Rewet the towel if necessary to prevent burning.

Ironing on a carpet.

No matter how it happens it will leave a very noticeable black mark. Apply light pressure with the iron. If the carpet is a wool one put it on high. Go from one end of the seam to the other.

Apply the iron to the towel moving slowly across the entirety of the seam. When irons fall onto the carpet there are three different levels of burn marks that remain. 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.

Iron burns on carpet happen from time to time. Scorch marks happen even on carpet. The carpet in our homes takes more wear and tear than any other part so it s worth the effort to fix problem areas. 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. Fill the iron s tank with water and set to steam. Rub it in with a stiff bristled brush and leave for 2 hours. You don t necessarily have to replace the entire piece of carpet to fix the damage.

You may be ironing quickly and the iron slips out of your hand or you set the iron onto the ironing board and it accidentally falls onto the carpet. Don t saturate the carpet just spray it lightly. Stay in each position for about 15 seconds then move the length of the iron.
