Hair Straighteners + Carpet = My Imminent Death. Help?
Hi.
Left a pair of straighteners on the floor to cool down this morning and they've singed two 3cm lines into my carpet.
It's a dark carpet, but it's fairly new and there are big ridges where it's burned or melted or whatever.
Is there anything I can do to limit it, take the depth out of the imprints, etc?
Thought this might be the place to ask, pretty desperate here.

This happened to me, but luckily it was on a rug so it was much easier to replace!
My mum tired some stuff on mine and none of it worked so had to get rid.

Hmm, you're probably a bit stuck there. I don't think there is much you can do!

You're lucky - let it be a lesson to you and turn those fiery plates off in the future

Well...don't put it straight on the floor then. It's gonna be hot when you put them on the carpet, else!

You know, you'd think I would have noticed that, but alas, I'm not as intelligent as I thought I was.

This is what you get for being a boy who straightens his hair.

Lie them on one of the back of the plates not with both plates down that way the metal/ceramic isn't in direct contact. Cotton is normally the safest thing t put them in - I wrap mine in a towel to pack them hot and have never had a problem.

Just put them on the metal bit of the ironing board next time...that's what I do

Ive knacked odd bits of carpet with my heat gun.
- Cheap synthetic carpets melt/soften so quickly and easly its untrue.
Only that you really can do at all is gently cut some of the hardened lumps of carpet off the top and sort of 'fade' it into the rest.
- Your not going to undo melting with cleaning products!!
