What you need: A few ice cubes and a vacuum.

What you do: Place ice cubes on top of the dents, then wait. Once they melt, run a vacuum over the wet areas until dry.

Why this works: The water encourages the carpet's fibers to swell and subsequently return to their previous shape. The vacuum encourages dry floors.

Just think: Now you can layer your rugs for aesthetic purposes, not just to hide all traces of the great ottoman disaster of 2014.
