If you’re into rearranging furniture on a carpeted floor, you’ll want to know how to raise matted-down nap or pile (the cut or uncut loops of yarn that form the carpet’s surface). Here’s what you do…
Hold a steamy iron a few inches above the matted carpet until the nap is slightly moist. Do not touch the carpet with the iron. Then scrape up the nap with an old toothbrush or a metal comb. The gentle steam will relax the fibers and help bring the carpet back to shape.
