- If cut pile and just a few tufts, snip off the damaged or stained fiber tufts with your Duckbill Napping Shears.
- Then blot with Perky® or APS™ All Purpose Spotter.
- Extraction clean the area.
- If large area and severely burned and melted, you may need to use the Cookie Cutter Professional Carpet Repair Kit for “Impossible” Spots and Stains to replace the burned area:
- Insert cutting blades.
- Make sure pivot screw and blade screws are tightened firmly. Note that the picture shows blades positioned for right hand use.
- The center pivot screw screw should be positioned so that point extends about 1/8 inch beyond the tips of the blades.
- Select a carpet remnant which matches the damaged area. If no remnant is available, locate a matching area from the hidden section of the carpet.
- Place a small piece of tape over the center of the damaged area.
- Position the tool so that the tip of the center pivot screw is over the center of the damaged area.
- Press tool down firmly. With a rotating motion, cut entirely through the carpet, but not the pad.
- Very carefully lift tool, being sure the damaged area is being raised. If not, realign pivot screw and finish the cut.
- Repeat steps 6 through 8 to cut a matching replacement piece from carpet remnant or hidden area. Check matching piece for correct pile direction.
- Moisten fingers and remove protective liner from and Insta-Hold disc.
- Moisten the adhesive side of the disc, keeping your fingers wet while handling. The water prevents premature adhesion.
- Insert Insta-Hold disc through the cutout using the pre-cut slit. Turn counter-clockwise when rotating disc into position.
- Center Insta-Hold disc so it lies flat and the end of the pre-cut slit is positioned at the center of the patch area.
- Seal carpet edge to prevent delamination of carpet backing.
- Install matching carpet patch, being certain to match the pile direction.
- Trim any loose tufts.
- Step heavily on repaired area to assure good adhesion.
- If replacement patch came from a hidden section of carpet, install the damaged area cut-out in that location.
