Ironing On A Carpet

No matter how it happens it will leave a very noticeable black mark.

Ironing on a carpet.

Make sure that the seam iron is on the designated temperature that you need and then press it directly onto the seam tape. Apply the iron to the towel moving slowly across the entirety of the seam. You may be ironing quickly and the iron slips out of your hand or you set the iron onto the ironing board and it accidentally falls onto the carpet. Don t saturate the carpet just spray it lightly.

When irons fall onto the carpet there are three different levels of burn marks that remain. The carpet in our homes takes more wear and tear than any other part so it s worth the effort to fix problem areas. Whether you accidentally dropped a hot iron or scorched it while working on iron on crafts there s not much you can do to remove the stain once the heat. Apply light pressure with the iron.

Stay in each position for about 15 seconds then move the length of the iron. If the carpet is a wool one put it on high. Under the edges of the carpet place a strip of carpet seam tape. You don t necessarily have to replace the entire piece of carpet to fix the damage.

Iron burns on carpet happen from time to time. Sometimes the iron sits for only a second and the very tops of the fibers are damaged. Scorch marks happen even on carpet. Rewet the towel if necessary to prevent burning.

Rub it in with a stiff bristled brush and leave for 2 hours. For nylon or similar use the low setting. Fill the iron s tank with water and set to steam.
