Fix kinks in your rug with simple but bizarre method using ice

If your rug has kinks in it and you're constantly tripping over the corner, there is a quick hack to make it look as good as new.

Straightening a rug that kinks can be challenging. Often, this issue stems from the weaving process and is particularly common in long, antique, or handmade rugs. In certain instances, the problem may arise from stretched threads, although in which case washing the rug might be beneficial.

Howver, if this has not worked, one technique using ice could be the answer. Taking to TikTok, Haylea aka @haylea_at_reedlane shared her simple home hack that requies very little time, effort and money. All you need is ice, something heavy and a tea towel.

She explained: "This is a hack of all hacks to get rid of those annoying kinks in your rugs. Whether it be a brand new rug or a rug you have had for ages, you just pop on some ice cubes, get something to weigh it down, pop a tea towel on and wait 10 minutes."

In the video, the home enthusiast uses a mug as her heavy item to keep the rug in place. She added: "And just like that, it is all gone. It is so quick and simple to do."
