Carpets can make a rooms look comfortable and appealing but they are prone from much tampering and damage. Flying ember, cigarette burns, spilled wine, and not to mention the unsightly mess pets leave in a carpet. These damages are not unavoidable and hiding them or even ignoring them can make it worse and unattractive for a flooring. There is available repairing or patching kits that can solve that damaged carpet.
Patch kits comes with a cutter and an adhesive paper disc. Using patch kits are quite easy. To start off, there will be a need to have an extra carpet to replace the damaged area. If extra carpet is unavailable get a part of the carpet flooring that is unseen and cannot be unveiled. Like under a radiator, a corner of a closet or underneath a shelf.
Begin the replacement process by making the fibers stand up. This can be done by rubbing the surface of the damaged carpet, then press the cutting too over it. Push aside the carpet until the backing is exposed by making several quick turns using the cutting tool. Then place the cutter blades on the tool. To cut the circle, line it up with the cutter then turn it in a clockwise motion.
Use the same method when removing the patch. Then slide the adhesive discs under the hole made. These discs should be larger than the circle so it can be glued on the back of the hole. When this is done run a small seam along the edge of the cut area of the carpet be careful not to have glue in the carpet itself. Firmly press the area then rub over it to make sure it has the same direction where the fibers lay. There’s at least 15 minutes before the patch dries up, this will give time for any readjustment needed.
When the patch has dried, blend in the fibers by hand or use a star roller or any other small rolling device. The replaced carpet should look as part of the whole carpet and not look as a patch at all.
