Indentations in Carpet

  One ice cube in each dent works well when moving tables and chairs.ice cube tray image by Karin Lau from Fotolia.com
  
  Lay an ice cube in the indentation and allow it to melt. You may use more than on ice cube for large indentations. The fibers will unbind as the ice melts and restore the carpet to its original fullness. If you require a faster result, use a hairdryer to melt the ice and heat the carpet fibers. Keep the dryer moving continuously and use your fingers to massage the carpet as the ice melts.

  Spray the carpet indentation with water from spray bottle when ice is not available. Thoroughly saturate the fibers and use a hair dryer to dry and fluff the fibers back to their original state.
  
  
• 3). Use your fingers to pull the carpet fibers up to their "standing" position. This trick is less effective but can work in a pinch (i.e., If you're showing a home for sale).
  
  

Indentations in Upholstered Furniture

• 1). Fill your spray bottle with water and spray the upholstery dent thoroughly. Turn on the blow dryer and begin heating the dent. Keep the dryer moving and use your fingers to massage the dent until dry. Using moisture and heat will speed the expansion of the fibers.
  
  
• 2). Repeat step 2 until the dent is no longer visible. This technique can be used on mattresses and foam mattress toppers as well.
  
  
• 3). Spray the indentation with carpet refresher and heat the area with your blow dryer if all else fails. Use your fist to pound the area surrounding the dent and repeat the process until the indentation is no longer visible.
