How do you fix cigarette burns in carpet?

Filed under: burns 

Okay So I've lived in my apartment for 2 years now and I'm thinking of moving. They installed new carpet before I moved in and now there is 3 cigarrete burns in the carpet and I would like to get my deposit back. Is there any kit or something you can do to fix it?

I had a cigarette burn in my old apartment carpet because I allowed a guest to smoke. So this is what I did to get my deposit back. I went to a closet and snipped up peices of the carpet fibers in the corner so it would be notice. Just the fibers, not the carpet totally. Where the cigarette burn was I carefully cut the burnt part off the carpet fibers without leaving a bald spot. Next I used fabric glue (you can buy this at a craft shop, the kind you can make invisible hems with or just cloth craft glue) I put a couple of drops in the area I just took the burnt part up. I then carefully took the fibers and placed them on the spot and let them dry.

Be careful the thicker the carpet, the more work you will have to do to make it look like part of the carpet.

    2. Quit smoking. Sorry, really what to do is trim some carpet fibers from an out of sight area and mix with a clear glue like Elmers. Then stick this mix in the burn hole and it will look as good as new. PS I smoke.
