  • Hey Guys!
    This week (well the past few weeks) I've been struggling with wrinkles in my new area rug. Not only are they not aesthetically pleasing, but they are a definite tripping hazard for someone as clumsy as myself! Who knew that an iron and a wet towel were the answer to my woes! I hope you all can use this tip in your own lives and steam out rug wrinkles of your own ;)
    I hope you all have amazing weeks and I'll see you in the next video!
    Laters!

    I bet this tip works even better (and is probably safer) if you iron the rug from the back. It's really that backer which is wrinkled versus the fibers. Definitely use the wet towel method to avoid melting any plastic .

    I was skeptical at first but OMG I have a huge area rug that got a huge buckle in it from moving a heavy piece of furniture around on it. This trick you suggested worked like a charm. I love it. Thank you for saving my rug. ☺☺

  • @303Scott
    @303Scott 2 ปีที่แล้ว +15

    Flip the rug over and iron the back. It's the backing that has the creases and you wont risk damaging the surface.

    • @mariannegotze1450
      @mariannegotze1450 10 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      The back has a rubber backing and will melt when ironing

    • @mateodayo727
      @mateodayo727 8 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      @@mariannegotze1450 Try a steamer instead of an iron. Still do the wet towel trick for safety but it works like a charm and a think leaves less damage

    @donnaleeah5075 7 หลายเดือนก่อน

    I FOOLISHLY put my rug down with the wrinkles THREE YEARS AGO!! But, the wrinkles never came out. Instead, they had babies!! Well, that's my take on it. I watch this and another one. I flipped it over bit by bit used my mop steamer machine and YEAH!! I am so very very pleased!! I did not want to throw out the carpet, I really love it. Plus it was expensive. I still have other parts of it to do, but I started at the worst part, and WOW!!! It's FLAT!! TY TY TY TY TY!!! I am so relieved!! I have a cleaner coming, after it's cleaned I can without embarrassment have company OVER!! OH WOW!! SO HAPPY!!!

    I just bought a new rug, had the wrinkles/waves going through the middle and couldn't place heavy objects there to help flatten them. Was looking around the net to find something that might help speed up the process to get the rug to flatten out and this worked great! Not 100% but a LOT better than it was before. Thanks.

    Our 14x20 carpet was fine but the thick felt non-slip pad had some bad wrinkles that lifted the carpet about 2” in places. We pulled back the rug and went to work on it, steam ironing the whole pad itself. This technique worked perfectly and our beautiful new rug lays flat as can be. Thank you for sharing this tip.

    Thank you! I got a rug from wayfair and it was so bad, the weight did nothing after a week! Original was very thin, I sent it back. 2nd different style slightly thicker was worse!!! This video was first I found and I can affirm it works! Need patience. There was 1 wrinkle from a tight creased fold at the end of packaging that was so bad, i was worried it would never come out but alas the iron over a thin wet towel works! Thanks so much!!!

    Thank you for your video, my bedroom rug ( which my landlord had installed is a office / commercial type rug ). It's not an area rug but after a few accidental water spills has created a buckle / ripple. It definitely is an eye sore and to make matters worse I'm occasionally tripping over it. I can't remember the last time I ironed so I don't own an iron. Any suggestions ? Thanks in advance 🤞

Anyway one corner has an annoying ripple enough it could cause a person to trip. I placed the corner in a no traffic zone so far.. Weights didnt work. I have a vintage mid-century mod 3-panel glass top cocktail table over it ($2.50!!!, Habitat 75% off tag buy! Brag! lol)
