Straighten the rug. If the rug is small enough you won t even know that it s there. Of course over time the rug will eventually flatten out on its own but that is assuming that you don t continually fold that edge over from stepping on it. Step 1 take either the steamer or the wet sponge towel and dampen the edges of the unrolled rug. This is a pretty efficient method that takes approximately 7 days to work.

Press the tape down firmly smoothing it as you go. Carpet tape works on hard floors and on existing wall to wall carpet holding your rug in place to flatten existing creases and eliminate new ones.

Flatten the rug by applying weight evenly and firmly. Then remove the paper covering the adhesive and smooth the rug over the floor. Most people want it to lay flatter faster. If the rug is too large you can always rotate it as the edges flatten out.

Small rugs are quite easy to flatten out by using the weight of your mattress.
