Hi V, Here's a video that may help: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ttHOcFtlIHg
Good luck!
If the rug does not flatten out by pulling it flat, it may have stretched out in some areas. It will need to be professionally re-blocked. Otherwise, the rug gripper video that Suzette sent is good for hard surfaces.
You have to stretch it somehow, and have some help doing it. If you have cinder blocks, that would hold it for sure. I'd leave it for a couple of days.
Have it steam cleaned, it will relax the fibers.
Hello V.panzarella, Basically your carpet needs to be restretched in order to get rid of the "waves" that has developed. It seems there are as many ways to get rid of the ripples as there are people ;) Here are a few videos toshow you what THEY do: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0Gi5p0mK-Zc
