How to safely remove furniture depression marks (carpet dents) from your carpet.

Howdy folks!  Okay, this short little blog topic can potentially help a ton of people out there who suffer from this issue in their homes.  It’s the dreaded, furniture depression marks (carpet dents) that manifest in your carpet when you try to rearrange your furniture.  Well, the best way to avoid dealing with the depressions is to never actually move your furniture, but we know that’s not going to happen.  So; I just wanted to share a couple of cool home remedies to help you remove those joyful little depressions in your carpet. 

Try this one first, since it’s the easiest…  Simply grab some pieces of ice out of your fridge and just place them directly onto the depressions in your carpet.  Leave them and walk away.  Yep; just let them melt!  Once they melt, softly groom your carpet with a hard bristle brush (like a bathtub cleaning brush) to fluff up the fibers.  Walla! 

If that doesn’t work, you could try another method.  If you happen to have a clothes steamer lying around your laundry room or a steam mop; just use your steamer to direct the steam into each carpet depression for a few minutes.  The steam will loosen up the fibers enough to fluff up the fibers with your brush.  Presto!  No more indentations!  Remember; steam is HOT, so please be careful! 

Until next time… STAY GREEN FOLKS!
