I recently moved into a two bedroom condo downtown. The place is in pretty good shape overall. In fact, the carpet is less than a year old. However, there is one area in the hallway that particularly bugs me each time I see it. The carpet in that area is lifting up in a certain area and creates a bulge.
Being the perfectionist that I am, of course I have to fix it. But how? I can see that I need to cut it, stretch it and make it fit snug to the floor. I am not a carpet pro by any means so I went online to see exactly how to do it and the repair kits that are available on the market. The product that I found that has the most potential is the carpet repair kit from Orcon.
It is a quick, neat and simple carpet repair tool for professional carpet repairs. Utilizes remnants or carpet from hidden areas, such as closets. Perfect for burns, stains, rips, tears and other small damage. Includes 3 Insta-HoldTM pressure sensitive patches and 4 blades. What this cutter does: Simply take the cutter and place it on the area of the carpet you want to remove (cutter covers 3" diameter).
Press firmly and twist unit. This will cut out the bad spot. Then take the cutter and cut out a replacement patch from another piece of carpet, maybe an extra remnant you have, or any carpet source you want. This will make the exact same size piece to replace the one you just removed. Then use the white discs (see item picture), which are sticky on both sides to hold the patch in place. This is a very easy way to remove burns, stains, and tears.
For difficult carpet repair services leave it to the pros:
