It can be frustrating to remove burn marks from a carpet, whether they were caused by a match, a hot iron or even a hair dryer.For large burns, or those in the most obvious places, it may be advisable to contact a professional cleaning service.For smaller areas or less obvious points it is possible to take some essential measures to arrange the carpet.By cutting away the burnt ends and gluing on new fibers or an entire corner of the carpet, you can make it look like new again.

  1. Step 1 Allenta le fibre con un paio di pinzette.
    The goal is for the fibers to be as straight as possible, so that it is easier to remove the burned ones.Use tweezers to brush them against the grain, pinching them a little to soften them.[1]
  2. Step 2 Taglia via lo strato bruciato con un paio di forbici.
    Try to cut only the brown or black part, not the intact part underneath.Go slowly and be patient, as it may be difficult at first.Continue to lift the fibers upward as you cut them, to ensure you don't leave behind any burnt sections beneath the surface layer.[2]
    • You can use a pair of normal scissors or smaller, sharp ones with a curved tip, like those often used to cut hangnails.
    • Set the burnt bits aside and collect them later with the vacuum cleaner or with your hands.
  3. Step 3 Spruzza uno smacchiatore per tappeti sul resto della macchia.
    Follow the instructions on the bottle and rub the carpet with a clean rag, letting it absorb the solution for the time indicated on the package.[3]
  4. Step 4 Rimuovi alcune fibre da un'altra zona del tappeto se la macchia è ancora visibile.
    Use a sharp pair of scissors or a razor to cut away some fibers from a hidden corner of the carpet, such as the part located inside a closet or along the wall.Try to cut the fibers the same length as the burnt ones you just removed.[4]
  5. Step 5 Incolla le nuove fibre sopra la bruciatura.
    Use a toothpick or small flat screwdriver to apply a light coat of clear, waterproof fabric glue to the new fibers.Glue them to the burned part and let them dry for at least 24 hours, then shorten them to bring them level with the surrounding ones, if necessary.[5]
  6. Step 6 Copri la bruciatura con un po' di tintura per tessuti, nel caso in cui tu non voglia tagliare altre parti del tappeto.
    Look for a waterproof paint in a color as similar to your carpet as possible.Use a thin brush to apply it to the damaged fibers, then let it dry for at least 24 hours, or for the time indicated on the product label.[6]

  1. Step 1 Taglia via la parte bruciata con un rasoio affilato.
    Apply a cut to the carpet adhesive base and remove it.Try to cut out a square or rectangular area, so you can replicate it easily.[7]
  2. Step 2 Rimuovi una porzione di tappeto da una zona nascosta.
    Using the burned area you just removed as a template, cut a sample from a less exposed area of ​​the carpet, such as the one at the bottom of the closet.If the carpet has a particular pattern, make sure the removed portion exactly matches the burned section.[8]
    • You can also remove a section from some loose carpet samples that you may have left over when you put the carpet in place.
  3. Step 3 Applica la colla sul dorso (o backing) del tappeto e sulla toppa che hai appena ritagliato.
    Cut a sample of backing that is the same size as the patch and sprinkle strong glue on the back of both and around the edge of the area where the burn was located.Let the glue sit until it is slightly tacky.[9]
    • You can get carpet backing online and at most home improvement stores.
  4. Step 4 Sistema sia il backing del tappeto sia la toppa.
    Insert the first one where the burn was present:You should be able to lift the surrounding area of ​​the carpet to secure it better.Finally, you placed the patch on top, pressing it gently.
  5. Step 5 Rimuovi le fibre allentate e spazzola la toppa per uniformarla al resto del tappeto.
    Use a pair of small, sharp scissors to cut any loose fibers.Using a small, fine-toothed comb, gently brush the fibers of the patch to make it uniform with the surrounding part.
  6. Step 6 Posiziona un oggetto pesante sulla zona interessata e lasciala asciugare per 24 ore.
    Use a bulky book or heavy pot to press the patch and let it dry for the next few hours and overnight.[10]
