Thank you for this video!!! I just bought two new rugs, one for under my dining table and one for the living room. I've never seen such wrinkled rugs before and didn't know what to do, this video helps so much!!!
I appreciate this tip so much, I had a wrinkle in a rug in my little boys room as he was learning how to walk, and it was wreaking havoc on our routine.
Blow dryer doesn't work anywhere near as well. If it works at all. It's the weight and pressure of the iron that makes it effect. The heat is a smaller factor
Another trick that works well is to lay the rug outside in the sun and let they sun do the work. You’ll be pleasantly surprised. Only takes an hr or so.
@@Charleeo10 I think I’ve bought like four or five of them over the years. I’ve bought them for the office and for the house and the dogs keep destroying them.
Hello thank you for this wonderful video I had recently ordered 5 large rugs to go over brand new vinyl floorings and will definitely borrow your method thanks again -Abraham
All our area rugs are woven polypropylene. They are great when you have pets. If you have a steam mop, I have a Bissell, you can use it on the low setting to get the folds out. I remove the pad and go over the whole area rug as if I was vacuuming it. I don't mind getting down on my knees, it's getting up that's hard now that I'm older.
FYI, I use that carpet tape often on photo shoots and I always put blue paper tape down between the carpet tape and the floor because I've seen it rip up the finish off the floor. So if you think you might move your rug in time consider that.
I don't know if this was already said, but looks like a job for a steam mop to do it! It has the cloth over the mop head already and the steam will take care of the wrinkles!
So glad I found your video. We have just bought our dream home to retire toin a couple years and we are going to use it as a vacation home u til we retire. We have just bought a bunch of rugs for the various rooms and we have been working to get the bumps out. The runners we have in the bedroom are awful at the corners and I have been racking my brain trying to figure out how to get those edges to stay down so I do not breathy neck! I had not considered double sided tape! As you will have had this down for a little while now and in a room that is one of the busiest in the house, can I ask how it is working for you? Also will it be harming the wooden floors underneath, leaving a nasty adhesive residue? Are you able to easily move the rug so you can wash the floors or is the rug stuck until it is time for a new one? Thanks for any insight ou can share.
Hello, Diedre! First off, I so enjoy your content and find a ton of inspiration! Thank you!! Secondly, this comment is totally unrelated to the current video, but I am very interested in how you make a space for your crafting without cluttering up your home. I have an outside shed, but can't really make it my year round craft space because of cold winters in Indiana. I am interested in how you manage your crafting space. Thank you! ❤️
I have a gorg 9x12. I used it over wood floors for about a year. Sadly, it wasn't rolled, but folded/bagged and stored in extreme heat for 3yrs by someone who's GLADLY now out of my picture 🤭 Happily settling in and decorating my very own little apartment. I thought , oh my gosh! I can use that rug to cover the ugly wall2wall in my bedroom, but can't get the fold lines out to save my life. I've been seriously contemplating just stretching nailing it down to the subflooring. Maybe cute upholstery tacks. What the landlord doesn't know.... Right? 😅 I guess I should try some of your tips 1st. Thank you for posting. Wait ... Did anyone hear that? Me either! That's the beautiful sound of peace & quiet. Truly content
Would this work on a rug with a rubber back, I wouldn’t want to ruin the rug due to it melting regardless if use a damp towel. Would a steamer suffice on a rubber backed rug?
Thanks a lot.We just changed the entire carpet in our house to a nicer & fluffier carpet.But unfortunately the rugs we used before on the older thinner carpet does not sit nicely on the newer one.The rugs keep wrinkling & moving around all over.Any solutions for this?
@@bridgetring3760 Because it's women's work! 😂 I'm kidding! I do all the happy homemaker and homesteading work around here, from sewing to building fences, to decorating. My wife is busy making all the money. I'm loving this.
I have a area rug that sets on my carpet and it’s kinks up or wrinkles only on one end. Will the steam process help that? Also can I use the tape to hold down onto the carpet? My carpet is absolutely beautiful and I just want to get rid of the wrinkles at the one end.
I bought a round small rug for my front porch and just used tape, no working the tape is sticking to the floor but not the carpet. Looks bad :( I need to start from scratch I guess and steam it
I tried it on an 8 x 10 rug, it is not as easy as it looks and with an iron towel etc t did not get the crease out, did a little not worth the time just a little took just to try one crease.

Thanks for your video. Great help. You are kind and a good teacher.
Nice , you can get the same effect of using a blow dryer set at medium heat. With out adding any moisture to the carpet.
I tried the iron it worked great, I'll try a blow dryer next time TY for an extra option ☺ ☺
Blow dryer doesn't work anywhere near as well. If it works at all. It's the weight and pressure of the iron that makes it effect. The heat is a smaller factor
@@cbass0684 You are aware that person is speaking from experience and you are making a opinion right?
Just did this on my new rug and it looks so much better! Thank you for posting this!!!
You are so welcome!

Oh great tip
Will try when uk isnt rainy lmaoo
WOW! Yours is a lot less work. I think so this one 😊
This trick told us my Grandma. It’s the best and really works
But then how do you not get it dirty?? Driveways are filthy.
Hilarious! This is the exact rug that I’m having issues with. I really appreciate the tips.
Glad it was helpful!
Exact same one we have as well. What are the chances

Glad it was helpful!
I use this method every time I buy a new rug. The tape even works well over carpeted floors as well. I like area rugs on carpet, too.
That's a great idea!
Thank you😅. For polyester rug, what degree of iron you put on?

@@OurUpcycledLife You're very welcome. I love your channel! You are so creative. I'd shared links in my groups on MeWe.
FYI, I use that carpet tape often on photo shoots and I always put blue paper tape down between the carpet tape and the floor because I've seen it rip up the finish off the floor. So if you think you might move your rug in time consider that.
Just use liquid nails 😂
The tape idea is useful, thanks. I will use the steam from my steamer.
Great idea!
Great info. BTW your floors are gorgeous. Your dining room looks amazing!
Thanks so much! 😊
Thanks for these tips, omg LUV your dining room.
You're sooo talented
❤🇨🇦
Thanks so much! 😊
I bought that exact rug for my yoga room (son’s old room). I used my floor steamer.
Thanks for watching. Glad you enjoyed.
I was thinking about this when you put it under your table in your other video redoing your house and I love that rug by the way .
Thanks so much for watching. Glad you enjoyed.
I love the rug you chose, can you put a link for the one you bought please? Thanks for the hack, I just cleaned my rugs today and they are rippled.
The link for the rug I have is listed in the description. Thanks for watching.
Thank you so much. I’ve had a problem with this very thing.
Glad it helped

Oh maybe! Great tip
thank you for the tutorial. I particularly appreciated the musical accompaniment.
You're very welcome!
Your dining room looks fantastic!
Thank you!! 😊
Thanks for this video! Just what I was looking for.
Glad it was helpful!

It’s working out perfect and still laying really flat. Thanks for watching.
@@OurUpcycledLife that is brilliant, thank you so much!!
I just flipped mine over ironed it out took like 5mins instant flat rug ❤

Sorry not sure
So helpful! Thank you!
Glad it was helpful!
Thanks! LoL I washed and THEN dried the small foyer rug in the dryer, apparently not the thing to do. lol Anyhow, Thank You, have an awesome week.
Uh oh…
@Scorpio, I've done that too, and the iron works for that as well.
THANK YOU ! 😍 😍
You're welcome 😊
Very, very helpful...gonna do it ! Thx!!! 🪵🍂🍁🍂🍁🌻🌻🌻🪵🥜
You are so welcome!
FYI, when your done, I saw someone on Amazon has the corners that are a little heavyweight to purchase underneath the corners to hold the. Done
Yes, I have tried those and they didn’t work. You still have to get out the wrinkles unfortunately
thank you so much,, it's really helpful for us.
You are most welcome
What setting did you set the iron on, steam?
I used the highest setting with steam
Thanks a lot.We just changed the entire carpet in our house to a nicer & fluffier carpet.But unfortunately the rugs we used before on the older thinner carpet does not sit nicely on the newer one.The rugs keep wrinkling & moving around all over.Any solutions for this?
Try this method
Great idea of the table on wheels/gliders.
Glad you like it!
Thanks for sharing ❤
You are so welcome
Showing this to my wife asap!!
Why Your Wife? Make it.

Because it's women's work! 😂

Great tip's!! Thank you for sharing with us 😊
You are so welcome!
Thankyou lady
Would it work if I steamed it instead of ironing?
You can try
Thank you❤
You're welcome 😊
Cool thanks
No problem
I have a area rug that sets on my carpet and it’s kinks up or wrinkles only on one end. Will the steam process help that? Also can I use the tape to hold down onto the carpet? My carpet is absolutely beautiful and I just want to get rid of the wrinkles at the one end.
Yes it should work to tape
What heat setting do you have the iron set for?
Highest setting
Fantastic.👍👍👍
Thanks for the visit
Could you use a steamer?
Yes, I’m sure you could I don’t have one, so I’m not sure what the results would be
تبارك الله مشاء الله 👍👍،👈👀
What was your iron setting? Thanks
High with steam
@@OurUpcycledLife I have a old iron ,Lol so wanted to make sure . Thank you for letting me no.
@@OurUpcycledLife Oh my godsh … I did what you said and it worked perfectly! Thank you so so so MUCH !
Where did you get the rug? Thanks
Link in the description
I bought a round small rug for my front porch and just used tape, no working the tape is sticking to the floor but not the carpet. Looks bad :(
I need to start from scratch I guess and steam it
How do you do this with an area rug on CARPET!!!!
Same process
How do u keep carpet in place on top off carpet ?
Just use some carpet tape again
nice vídeo
I tried it on an 8 x 10 rug, it is not as easy as it looks and with an iron towel etc t did not get the crease out, did a little not worth the time just a little took just to try one crease.
Blue tack works best
I read once to use carpet pad
Put in the bathroom while taking a shower and maybe the steam from the shower will help
Yes, that would probably help. Thanks so much for watching.
Wouldn’t a garment steamer work easier?
Unsure I don’t have one
Don’t do on top of cushion floor. 😂
Pro tip: If you use a lapel mic, your likes and shares will increase.
Oh!!!!!! Great idea!!! Stealing!
Go for it!
This doesn't explain how to fix a folded rug. Especially one that says do not steam.
Vasting time on a cheap rug like that... take it back or throw it out...buy a new good rug instead
