Oh my! Just have to love you. Of course I have a fork. Just not the arms to tackle the long traffic path and foot rest area of my large and deep piled carpet. However, it got me thinking.... how about a fine toothed rake? I looked up "carpet rakes" on a lark... lo & behold! They exist. For now, the fork works but I will invest in one of those carpet rakes in the future. Thank you for your advice and the non-use of melting ice cubes into my carpet to raise the flattened pile. Not terribly bad in the heat of summer, only that it reminded me of those nasty foot baths one has to step into when entering a public swimming pool. Yuck! Mille grazie! M

I even scrubbed with a bristle brush nothing worked. and then this man had me get on my hands and knees and scrape the carpet with a fork and you know what? it freaking worked. well played mate never thought a simple fork would fix all my problems XD. I'm so glad my carpet looks basically new now.
