Waves in the Area Rug

It should start smoothing out over the next few days.

can he returned this rug.Maybe where the rug was made a defect in this? that is lot of waves to flatten this out?Good luck there

Steam clean it and it will flatten in no time.

I had a rug like this once and most wrinkles came out within a couple days of walking on it but there were a couple big ones and I took a wet towel wrung out really well and laid it across the wrinkle then used an iron on a steam setting and ran it over and over. Don't let it linger in one spot and don't iron directly on the rug. I'll be getting a rug soon as my cabin is done and I know I'll be doing this again.

That is a shame. It might flatten naturally after a while. Or it might help to turn it upside down for a few days - if that's possible. Its own weight might help flatten it out.

I see Doodles. He could always return it but that would probably be a pain. This happened to a friend and this is what she did.... Tape it down. Double-sided carpet tape is available in furniture and home improvement stores. Apply this tape to the back of your rug; then remove the paper covering the adhesive and smooth the rug over the floor. Press the tape down firmly, smoothing it as you go. Carpet tape works on hard floors and on existing wall-to-wall carpet, holding your rug in place to flatten existing creases and eliminate new ones.

I just kind of let it settle, and time plus vacuuming usually straightens it out. In a way, the vacuum works sort of like an iron.

They should not have folded it. Even I know that. Maybe they ask the company that sold them them the carpet or another carpet company.

Maybe a bit of steam from an iron (not very hot) would help.

I've got access to a big steam roller if you want to run it over that carpet a few times! lol

A steamer should help. I love that color.

Doodles would love to cuddle on that new carpet. I don't know how it can be stretched, but maybe after some stepping on it, it can be straightened.

Probably It Is Doodles' fault

It is a beautiful carpet. Hope it settle down over the next few days.

Have it steamed, either professionally or go buy an inexpensive home steamer and do it yourself.

I'm so into area rugs aren't having to place nifty rugs about a joy? I'm considering what needs my attention right now. I'm a naturally natural chuckled chick!

I think the rug will flatten out on its own,

That is a beautiful room and carpet. I wish I had a tip to give you about getting those waves to disappear.

Hmm.. I do not know what could solve the problem. Have you tried to find something on the net?

That is a nice living room. Hmm, it might help to roll the carpet again the other way. But it should settle down in a few weeks.
