Tips to flatten your rug after unrolling:

1. Heat: Sunlight or blow dryer (6 inches away). Avoid moisture on natural fibers.
2. Reverse Roll: Roll the rug backward, then re-roll in the opposite direction.
3. Weight It Down: Place heavy objects on corners for a few days.
4. Mattress Trick: Sandwich rug between mattress and box spring.
5. Tape: Use carpet tape (not on hardwood).
6. Ice Cube Method: Remove dents by letting ice slowly melt.
7. Iron/Steam: Low setting, iron or steam through a towel on the back.
8. Clothes Wrinkle Remover Spray: Spray only on the back and let dry upside down.
9. Non-Curl Corners: Attach invisible corners to keep edges flat.

• Consider pile size, overall size, shape, color, and style.
• Each room creates unique rug needs.
• Explore resources to match your home with the perfect rug.
