Tips for furniture indentations

[bennyandthejets]

Anything work when dealing with the furniture marks left by the weight of the furniture?

Carpet replacement.


The problem is that the pad crushes and the carpet fibers are broken down and flattened.

Especially poly/olefinn carpet. The old nylon carpet with a resilant pad was able to be improved with a spoon.

But the cr@p they sell now can be hopeless. Some pad may pop up a little after a week or two.

Flattened carpet can not be made round again.

Put an ice cube in each indentation, and walk away.

The only solution, or improvement, that I know of.

Forget steam!

This worked for me one time.

1. Place damp towel over indentatation, and place iron on towell for about 10 seconds.
2. remove towel, and immediately put the end of the vacuum hose ove the top of the indentation.

Seemed to pull it right up.

Of course take all the precautions you normally would when using a steam iron.

I just did 2 rooms full of dents for a guy using wet towel and iron. Worked great.

Poly or nylon?.

The rx20 improves them somewhat but if it's crushed its most likely not comming back.

Buy a Jiffy steamer. Works great on indents, and rollmarks and the wife will love it for clothes.

Dave, I'm surprised you haven't tried the wall paper steamer that you use on red dye stains. The one I bought on EBay that you mentioned works great on indentations. Better and safer than a wet towel and steam iron. BTW, thats for the heads up. I was looking for one of those steamers for a while.
