How to Remove Carpet Dents Easily The Magic of Ice Cubes Carpet dents from heavy furniture can be stubborn and difficult to remove.

As the fibers absorb moisture, they expand and return to their original shape. 3 Steps to Restore Your Carpet • Place ice cubes directly on the dented area • Let the ice melt completely to expand the fibers • Gently lift the fibers with your fingers or a spoon This simple trick restores your carpet without heat, chemicals, or special tools.
