How to straighten curved carpet corners: 3 practical life hacks

Straightening out curved carpet corners can be a troublesome task. UAportal has learned that certain life hacks offer simple and effective solutions using items that can be found around the house.

Steam iron

A steam iron filled with water should be set to the lowest level of steam. Hold it a few centimeters above the creased corner.

After that, you can smooth the crease with your fingers. It is important to allow the area to dry completely before walking on it so that the fibers are fixed in the new straightened position.

Weight

The weight method involves the use of a heavy object, such as a stack of books or a dumbbell, which is placed on a curved corner of the carpet and left for 24-48 hours. This helps to smooth out the crease and fibers over time. At the end of the waiting period, the weight should be removed and the carpet gently lifted.

Blow dryer

Turn on the hair dryer and set it to the maximum temperature and steam supply. It should be held a few centimeters away from the area and moved back and forth along the fold. It is recommended to straighten the carpet fibers with your fingers, as the hot air straightens the crease.
