Getting burn marks out of carpet
Discussion
get a pair of scissors or nail clippers and you have to cut off the the burnt bits. carpets tend to be synthetic stuff, so the char and melt which won't scrub off.
you'll end up with a micro dip in the pile, and you can explain it as a manufacturing defect, as no one would ever shave a small dot of carpet, would they?

The scorch marks are about the size of a 50p piece though.....you'll end up with a micro dip in the pile, and you can explain it as a manufacturing defect, as no one would ever shave a small dot of carpet, would they?
) and apparently, she was thinking the same thing. We had a big burn mark (size of a 5 pence piece) and called the insurance company as I was sure it was a new carpet job. Chap came along, stole some fibres from another part of the carpet wove them in and within 30 minutes the burn had gone - completely.
I was amazed as you can't see the mark at all (it's a sort pile light coloured carpet btw)
However, I didn't get his name, but a quick search on google should do the trick and make the Mrs happy again

Well if they do it for car interiors (fag burns/cracks/tears), makes sense to do it for household stuff too.I was amazed as you can't see the mark at all (it's a sort pile light coloured carpet btw)

Got to be worth a punt with your insurers?

One of my daughters spilled a blob (smalled than a 5p piece) of nail varnish on our nearly new, and extra wide, carpet and the loss adjuster dismissed out of hand the suggestion of repairing it. I was dismayed by this as had to find another carpet and that turned out to be faulty and had to be changed.I was amazed as you can't see the mark at all (it's a sort pile light coloured carpet btw)
