Tired of tripping over those annoying kinks in your rug? There’s a simple and effective hack that can make your rug look as good as new in just minutes.
TikTok user Haylea (@haylea_at_reedlane) shared her genius trick using ice cubes, a heavy object, and a tea towel. She explains that the ice relaxes the fibers in the rug, smoothing out those pesky kinks.
Here’s how it works:
1. Place ice cubes directly onto the kink in your rug.
2. Cover the ice with a tea towel.
3. Place a heavy object (like a mug or a book) on top of the towel.
4. Leave it for 10 minutes.
That’s it! Haylea says the kinks will be gone in just a few minutes, leaving you with a perfectly flat rug.
This hack is particularly helpful for rugs that have been stored or rolled up for a long time. It’s also great for new rugs that may have some wrinkles from being folded in the packaging.
Remember, if you’re moving or storing your rug, try to keep it unrolled as much as possible to prevent those frustrating kinks from forming in the first place.
So ditch the ironing board and grab some ice cubes! This easy hack will have your rug looking and feeling brand new in no time.
