If your carpet is burned or damaged, or you have permanent stain which can not be cleaned, you can patch it.
What you need for carpet patching:
1. any round thing which is a little bit bigger than your stain.
2. Sharp knife.
3. a piece of thermal carpet tape
4. a white cotton towel
5. steam iron, hammer, hair comb
How to do it:
1. Use the round thing to cover your stain, then press firmly and cut the carpet along the edge of the round stuff. Make sure you completely cut through the carpet. Cut one more from closet carpet by the same way, make sure they are from the same kind of carpet
2. Put the carpet tapes under both holes. Put the nice patch on the first hole, put the stained patch on the second hole in the closet.
3. Make your cotton towel wet, and spread it over the first carpet patch, Set the iron to the hottest, then heat the towel on the hole for about 15 seconds, press firmly. Then use a hammer to hit the patch along the seaming lightly. After 10 min, pull the patch by your fingers gently, make sure the tape has glued the patch. If not, heat it again a little bit longer. Put the stained patch on the closet hole, and patch it in the same way.
4. Use a comb to mix the patch fibre with the surrounding carpet fibre to hide the seaming edge
MAKE SURE NOT TO BURN YOUR CARPET.
