Easily Repair Burned Carpets!
Have you ever dropped a coal on your carpet, only to have a nasty burn? I think it’s happened to every serious hookah smoker at least once. But don’t worry – your security deposit isn’t gone yet! It’s pretty easy to fix your mildly burned carpets.
Step 1
After the burn has set, and the spot has cooled, take the rough edge of your tongs and ruff up the carpet a little. This will break up some of that burnt carpet. Don’t do this too hard or you will ruin the carpet!
Step 2
Apply some carpet cleaner to the burned area, and scrub it around. We want to get the burned area clean so our repairs stick! Take a clean towel and blot the area until its dry.
Step 3
Try to find a concealed piece of spare carpet. In the corner of a closet works. The idea is to get a small square of carpet from somewhere it won’t be missed from.
Step 4
Cut out as much of the burned area as you can. This should leave a bald spot on the carpet.
Step 5
Cut a small piece of your spare carpet to match the size of your hole. Pull all the lose pieces off. Put a little bit of super glue on the bottom of your cut-to-size spare piece, and press it into place.
Step 6
Use your carpet scrubbing brush and gently rub over the area to smooth it over.
Your carpet should now be repaired! Next time, don’t drop the coals 😉
