Works For Me: Carpet Dents

Hello, my Works-For-Me friends!  I had a little WFMW withdrawal over the bloggy break.  I awakened on Wednesday with a sense of panic:  however shall I navigate this day without finding 47 new uses for vinegar? 

So welcome back!  Here's my quick trip I learned over the holidays, by watching that great source of useful human knowledge:  the DIY network.  You know those annoying little "dents" left behind in your carpet when you move something heavy off it?  And even when you run your fingers over it, it still stays all smooshed down?

Turns out, if you'll just drop a piece of ice in the dent, the slowly melting water will cause the carpet fibers to swell back up.  It will dry, and your carpet will look as good as new.  I tried it myself with the dents left behind by our Christmas tree, and it really worked!

And how satisfying to know that an evening of mindless cable television can be useful.

Have a tip you'd like to share with the blogosphere?  Leave your link below.  Remember to look through the guidelines, especially if this is your first time to participate.  As always, thanks for playing along!

OH!  Before I forget...Bloggy Giveaways is back up and running as of today, with a whole new stash of giveways scheduled in the coming weeks.  Head over there for a peek at the absolutely deliciously cute stuff being offered up today...
