Rolled carpets may have folds and folds that appear when rolled out. Folds can also appear due to tension inconsistencies within the carpet structure. There are several ways to make crumpled rug lie flat, including using carpet tape, heat from the sun, and placing heavy objects on the rug. The steps below describe these and other methods for ironing carpets.

Steps

1. 1 Roll out the rug on a flat surface. The carpet should be completely laid on a flat, smooth surface. If the corners of the carpet are sticking up, fold them up. Leave the rug unfolded for at least 24-28 hours to flatten out under its own weight. For some carpets, you may have to wait several weeks.
2. 2 If the carpet does not flatten by its own weight, use the following techniques to aid the flattening process.
   • Fold the folds of the carpet in the opposite direction. This is called "folding back" or "folding back." When folding the carpet in the opposite direction, listen carefully, you may hear a crack in the fabric. In this case, stop folding immediately.
   • Place heavy objects, such as furniture, on the rug to help reduce creases and creases from the added weight.
   • Glue the corners using double-sided carpet tape. Carpet tape has strong double-sided adhesion and is better suited for low humidity environments. Pay attention to the shelf life of the tape so that it does not deteriorate quickly.
   • Place the rug in direct sunlight. A few hours under the sun at 70-85 degrees will significantly reduce the internal stress of the carpet. This practice is a good prelude to curling back.
   • Steam the carpet with a professional steamer. This is generally the best option for carpets with inconsistent tension.
3. 3 Place a fully smoothed rug in the planned area.

Tips

• Do not walk on carpet with rough-soled shoes, as this will prevent premature wear and damage to the carpet.
• Vacuum your carpet constantly and do a professional cleaning every 6 to 12 months.
• You can pre-lay a synthetic rubber covering on the floor in the area where the carpet is located. The covering will prevent the carpet from shifting and slipping on the floor.
