How
to replace a damaged or stained piece of carpet
If you have damaged
carpet enough that you need to replace a piece of it, you
can easily do it, and for relatively inexpensively too. Here
are the supplies you need, all available at a carpet store.
You will also need a piece of matching carpet. If you don't
have any left over, get some from an inconspicious place,
such as a closet or in a corner underneath the curtains.
Circular carpet
cutter (large enough to cut out the entire stained area)
Seam sealer
double-sided carpet tape
First, use the
cutter to cut a hole over the stain or damage. Be careful
not to cut the underlay beneath it. Pull out the damaged piece.
Cut a clean piece of carpet the same size. Now cut a piece
of carpet tape the same size as the hole and stick it to the
underlay. Then use the sealer glue on the edge of the carpet,
then push the new piece of carpet into place. Push it securely
into place, and avoid walking on the area while the sealer
dries.
