2. Vacuum Debris: Use the vacuum to remove any loose bits in the area.
3. Trim Damaged Fibers: Gentle cut off any last burned threads with scissors.
4. Harvest Donor Fibers: Cut fibres from a hidden part of the carpet, like behind furniture or in a room, to fit the damaged area.
5. Apply Adhesive: Put some glue here. Put a small amount of strong home glue on the wound.
6. Insert New Fibers: Fill in with new strands. Using tweezers, place the gathered fibres in the glued area to fit the pattern of the existing carpet.

Things You’ll Need

1. Utility knife
2. Measuring tape
3. Replacement carpet piece

2. Prepare the Replacement Piece: Measure the part that was cut out and cut a matched piece from the leftover carpet or a less noticeable spot. Ensure the pile goes in the same direction as the old carpet.
3. Apply Adhesive: Use double-sided or carpet glue to stick the broken piece back on the floor where it was taken off.
4. Insert the Patch: Place the new piece of carpet into the cut-out area by pressing down hard.
