My lounge carpet is suffering from dents where castors of the settees have been.
I am wondering about the cause as it didn't happen with the previous carpet.
Could it be:
I would have thought 1 - too soft underlay.
Try putting an ice cube in the dent. Just leave it there to melt and, eventually, dry out. Can be amazingly effective - though no guarantees.
I've heard of this and will give it a go - however it is much more than just a flattening of the pile.
Depends very much on the construction of the carpet. Any idea what the pile is? Wool, 80/20, acrilic?
Sorry - not sure - a "berber" like appearance. Certainly not wool.
I use the narrow nossle (crevice tool) on the vacuum cleaner to give it a good rub and in doing so, suck the pile back upright. If the backing or underlay has collapsed, it's not going to fix that though.
I have tried the technique - I believe your description is correct.
