Happy Friday, friends! I no longer worry that I’m ruining our carpet or stress that dents are permanent. Hopefully this post is helpful if you’re faced with a similar situation.
Assess the Dent & Choose Your Method

Depending on how deep the divot is, the location, and how quickly you’d like to see results- you can experiment with the following methods: ice, steam, and heat.
Use Ice to Remove Carpet Indentations
Grab a few ice cubes, place them over the carpet divot, and allow them to completely melt. 8-10 hours later, soak up any excess water with a sponge or towel.
Use Steam to Remove Carpet Dents
Setup Your Workspace
Place a damp towel directly over the divot, then use your iron on medium/high heat to run over the towel for 1-2 minutes.
Use Heat to Lift Carpet Divots

Another handy trick I tried, that totally worked… you can use your blow dryer to regain carpet fiber volume.
Allow Time to Naturally Lift Carpet Imprints

If you have time to wait and they don’t bother you… 95% of them will disappear on their own.
I hope this post proves to be helpful when and if you need it! New carpet is a big investment and keeping it well maintained can be tricky.
