How to Straighten Curled Carpet Corners: No, Nailing Isn't an Option

Many carpet owners complain that the corners of the rug curl unattractively.

If you have wooden floors, nailing will help solve the problem.

Of course, you shouldn't try to simply attach the carpet to the floor with nails - instead, you should use a construction stapler or a lath.

Thanks to the brackets, the attachment points will be practically invisible to prying eyes, and minimal damage will be caused to the floor.

The bar will help to press the edges of the carpet, creating a neat border.

But such radical measures may not be necessary if you use a popular life hack.

To bring it to life, you will need warm water and a weight. Wet the unruly edge thoroughly and place something heavy on it – for example, the same bucket filled with water.

The carpet will have to remain in this position for 12 hours, after which the load can be removed and you can wait until the carpet is completely dry.
