As time goes on, your carpet is going to look more and more lifeless. This is just part of using any given surface every day – sooner or later, time and wear will take their toll, and your carpet won’t look the same.

Fortunately, you don’t have to live with that. There are ways to breathe new life into your carpet and have it look as fluffy as ever. Here’s how to re-fluff up your fibers and make them lively again.

Ice Cubes

Use the ice cube trick to fluff up your carpet in a pinch. If you melt ice cubes into a carpet, you can use a fork or your fingers to fluff it up again afterward. Once it dries, it should be much more fluffy than before.

This works best on tiny dents in the carpet, but it’s much harder to do for a large area. Still, it’s fantastic for any indents your furniture may have left over the years. But for more effective furniture cleaning, you may want professional upholstery cleaning.

Baking Soda

When baking soda sits on your carpet for a while, it’ll soak up the dirt. Dirt is often part of what’s matting your carpet down, so getting as much of it out as possible will help make your carpet fluffy while also providing solid carpet cleaning.

After letting the baking soda sit for fifteen to thirty minutes, vacuum it up. The act of vacuuming also helps make things fluffy due to its heat and motion. Your carpet should look a bit better after this process.

Iron

Always be careful when putting your iron near your carpet, as you can inadvertently cause damage to the fibers. Never leave the iron on too long or set it too high.

First, dampen a cloth. Place the damp cloth on your carpet and set your iron to a low setting. Let the iron sit on the towel for a few seconds before removing it. Repeat across your carpet, and then pull up the fibers when you’re done. Your carpet should be fluffier once it dries.

Carpet Rake

Carpet rakes were designed to help pull up your carpet fibers and make them fluffy again. You can combine a carpet rake with any of the steps above or use one by itself.

Don’t be too rough when raking your carpet, or you’ll accidentally pull up some fibers. You may also want to rake at least twice, maybe even three times to get those fibers truly fluffy.
