Preventative maintenance is the name of the game with carpet care. It’s easy and inexpensive to spot clean and vacuum frequently.
Here are a few special solutions for common carpet problems:
Use fingernail scissors to remove the burnt fibers. A patch (or even replacement) may be needed for an extensive burn.
Some fiber or “tuft” loss is considered normal, but whatever you do, don’t pull. Sprouts, tufts, and snags can all be easily removed with a normal pair of scissors.
Fix dents or compression marks from heavy objects by gently moistening with an ice cube (or water mist) and stroking with a coin.
For the occasional spill, Kraus has a handy Spot Removal Guide that you can print out for quick reference.
