HOW DO I GET PRESSURE MARKS OUT OF MY CARPET
+6
I have a huge planter sitting on a rolling plant stand that has left deep impression marks in my living room carpet. I thought I saw a way to remove these marks and get my carpet to the same level with the rest of my carpet by using my "iron" but i can't find out how.

steam. A good, strong vacuum also works but takes 20-30 minutes of going over it
Use the steam setting on your dryer. Place a towel over the area and use the steam to raise the nap. Pick up the towel and check and resteam if not as good as you want.
Place an ice cube in the divot and come beck tomorrow.
Google is the word! I do the ice cube trick. Here you go!

Moisten the carpet with a fine spray of clear water (not too wet, just damp) work it around a bit with your finger, then gently brush the carpet nap with a brush in many different directions, working your way around the indentions.
Yes, you can try steaming the dents with a steam iron (set on low). Also, I’ve read some people have great luck putting an ice cube in each indentation then fluffing up the squashed-down fibres.
THANK YOU SO MUCH -- DOING TO THE ICE CUBE TRICK
You can use a damp cloth and a steam iron over the cloth to help raise the pile of the carpet back up. Sometimes depending on the depth of the mark it will take several attempts to get it back all the way.
A Steamer should do it!
