Straighten The Rug

Most people want it to lay flatter faster.

Straighten the rug.

Small rugs are quite easy to flatten out by using the weight of your mattress. Step 1 take either the steamer or the wet sponge towel and dampen the edges of the unrolled rug. Apply this tape to the back of your rug. Allow this to dry this way and see if it helps.

Remove creases from a small rug. Place the rug flat between your mattress and box spring. Press the tape down firmly smoothing it as you go. Follow this diy guide to choose the ideal flattening method for your particular area rug.

Before you start trying to flatten a rug on your own you will need to assess the situation and look at the rug you have. Carpet tape works on hard floors and on existing wall to wall carpet holding your rug in place to flatten existing creases and eliminate new ones. Of course over time the rug will eventually flatten out on its own but that is assuming that you don t continually fold that edge over from stepping on it. If the rug is small enough you won t even know that it s there.

If the rug is too large you can always rotate it as the edges flatten out.
