Carpet Marks???

[Connemmara]

My sister is shall I say OCD particularly regarding mats.

Bought herself a new one maybe yesterday or the day before - she says she couldn't stick it as when you walk on it you see your footprints (ie shaded etc)

Run her home tonight and she asked me to look at the mat (she paid £100) for it.

She was giving it to her neighbours but I have taken it home and will put it down tomorrow. Probably her saying about the footprints in the sand will make me funny about it.

Anything to stop these footprints - or will I learn to live with it. Mind you light coloured mats don't last long with me as I spill something nearly every other day. Thanks for any advice.

Try laying the mat in different directions so the nap falls different ways. You may find a position where the footprints are less noticeable.

Thanks Anne - I need a complete revamp of my house - but the guys are coming on Tuesday re kitchen - will start off from there. Need two new venetian blinds - sister keeps harping about me getting a new suite.

Find every suite you sit on they are hard as a brick. I said do you realise I have just bought my house outright, getting a new kitchen - Ah she said it is for your own comfort.

Am not working anymore thank you very much. She does really understand but can't bite the lip. LOL Love her to bits actually!

Thanks Graham - perhaps I'll get a lover and him and I will lie on it LOL

I have one like this Connie and it drives me mad. I keep lifting it up and shaking it to get rid of the footmarks and this is not easy as it is a big carpet.
My daughter loves it though, she thinks the foot prints make it look expensive. Because I live alone I find that I can walk around it so saving me any bother.

Permit only people with size 2 feet or less to walk on it. Zac and Tony are out in terms of visiting then.......

[Graham-W]

Hmmmm. Thinks, that could make some interesting prints .

Well Gness has size 2 feet so beware

If it is a loose pile and deep pile it will continue to occur whilst new. Over time it will end down and footprints will be less noticeable.
