The problem with carpet burns is that they damage the carpet in such a way that it can’t be cleaned out, or even scraped out. It takes more drastic action. Sometimes we can repair it without using patches. Alternatively, depending on how deep the burn is, we may have to replace that piece of carpet.
Worried about seam marks? Don’t be… We are professionals.
Dangers of D.I.Y. Carpet Burn Repair
There have been some real disasters when it comes to well-meaning amateurs trying to do a carpet surgeons job, especially when it comes to attempting a carpet burn repair.
If you try and patch it without the proper tools, you risk some very obvious seams. Without the proper expertise you risk making it look a lot worse.
We’ve seen it before. Equipped with a pair of nail scissors and a will to save money, people have tried to trim out an embedded burn, only to be left with a shorter piece of blackened carpet in the middle of their lounge. Don’t try this at home. Leave it to the experts.
