Questions and Answers for SAFAVIEH Amherst Ivory/Light Gray 5 ft. x 8 ft. Border Floral Area Rug

A:  Hello! Here are a few suggestions you may want to consider to reduce the creases/waves/wrinkles/kinks: Back rolling/ Reverse rolling the rug - Unroll the carpet and roll it up again in the opposite direction. To keep it secure, place heavy furniture on the rug while back rolled/ reverse rolled to keep it from unraveling. (Leave it back rolled for 1-3 days). || Use indoor rug/carpet tape- tape down corners of the rug to secure and flatten the ends of your rug. || For folded corners, the best thing to do is to fold the corners under and let them rest for several days. || Place the rug on a hard flat floor instead of a carpet while it relaxes. || Use a rug pad to secure the rug || Use a rug gripper for hardwood flooring || Vacuum the rug where the creases are located ||Use indoor double-sided carpet tape to tape down the rug to secure and flatten the ends of your rug (This will prevent bunching and buckling). You want to run the tape along the perimeter and put an X through the middle of the rug from corner to corner this will secure the rug. || These creases/waves/bumps/wrinkles/kinks will normally flatten out on their own so in most cases, you can simply allow ample time for your rug or runner to settle. Thank you for your question!
