How to Flatten a Rug That’s Been Folded Prevent the Creases Before you put your rug away in storage, always be sure to give it a proper cleaning. Tightly Roll the Rug When Storing Typically, you’ll want to roll the rug with the pile facing inward (the pile is the top side of the rug), as the pile is more fragile. Store in a Cool Environment Last but not least, make sure you store your rug in a cool, dry environment, and preferably one that’s off the ground. Also, don’t place anything on top of the rug, as this can cause cracks and creases. How to Getting Out the Creases Ripples/Waves Typically, a rug will have ripples or waves in it if it is a new rug. All you need to do is lay the rug flat, and the waves will even themselves out after a day or two. Corners To flatten corners, a lot of people think the best thing to do is to place a heavy object on them. While this can work, the best thing to do is to actually fold the corners under and let them rest for a day or two. Ironing Only resort to ironing if the creases are still present after waiting two full days. Start by ironing it on the lowest setting possible with the steam on. If your iron doesn’t have a steam setting, sprinkle on some water before you begin. To protect the rug from being burned by the iron, place a piece of plain brown craft paper between the iron and the rug.
