Here's the rake I used in the video: amzn.to/2RcMhqO
Here's the pricier model I mentioned: amzn.to/32dCjeO
The camera used for this video: amzn.to/3cyPDgb
My carpet was worn, especially in high-traffic areas. After researching various ways to bring it back to life, I purchased a carpet rake & groomer. In this video you'll see my review and test of a traffic rake I purchased on Amazon. I'll test the most worn areas of the carpet in my home, including the stairs and well worn, high traffic areas. Can this bring my flat carpet back to life? Here's how to fix a matted carpet.

Just purchased one, even if it doesn’t work on the carpet it’s one hell of a workout

@AverageMe 3 месяца назад

Haha! It’s not very hard

@RM-1laray 2 года назад

I just purchased one of these carpet rakes from HD. Our carpet is 16 years old and we are the original homeowners. It's just my wife and I and we never wear shoes in the house. We actually just had it cleaned for the first time since purchasing the home. We vacuum regularly and I use Resolve cleaner if we notice any type of spots on the carpet. The high traffic areas have looked some what "matted" for some time now. After using the rake as shown in the video we too were pleasantly surprised with the result. I will make this a regular part of maintaining our carpet in the future. Well worth the less than $15.00 price.

My husband is flat footed and there's no way to keep the carpet up just by vacuuming wherever he walks on a daily basis. Our rake will be delivered this week and this video helped us make the decision! Thank you!

@AverageMe 3 года назад

One hint I can give is don't use is hard. I hear some people saying they break them, and all I can think is they are pushing down on them too hard. It doesn't take a lot of force. Mine has lasted just fine.

@marydanielle7183 3 года назад

@@AverageMe I can definitely see how people may break it if they apply too much pressure. However, this thing is amazing! My carpet feels like carpet again!!!

@sherrycote4173 4 года назад

Interesting I grew up in the 70s I had a shag carpet in my room we used a regular metal rake to rake it. It was pretty ugly but my sister and I loved it. That looks really nice. It does look fun and satisfying. I’m weird though and I love to vacuum 😊

@AverageMe 4 года назад

Haha! 1970s shag! It was a carpet AND a haircut (remember that?)

@khill5686 3 года назад

Thank you for this simple video. I've got some problem areas in my apartment, (low shag, cheapo carpet), and I think this will help. I've tried everything else as well, and a carpet rake like this may solve my problem. Thank you!! ☺

@AverageMe 3 года назад

Please report back and let us know how it goes. I’d like to know how it works on shag carpet

@TheMOBmane 3 года назад

Nice video but wouldn’t it make sense to utilize this tool before the actual heavy duty cleaning, seeing how you not only get dirt easily loosened but also a better clean when nap is lifted?

@purelife_simplelife 2 года назад

This type is not meant to pull up fur or hair. It is simply meant to pull up the carpet fibers. There are other types that are designed for picking up fur and hair.

@Gutslinger Год назад

Been thinking about getting one. But I also thought about trying a method I recently read about, involving laying a damp towel on the area and ironing it.

@AverageMe Год назад

That can help as a one-time restore , but the rake can be used regularly. Along with vacuuming, it’ll keep your carpet in better shape

@stacyestes7637 3 года назад

@hhansari Год назад

Hi, the rake sounds like a great idea. Though I was wondering - about how often do you need to give the matted carpet a 'raking' to keep it looking decent? (with some light foot traffic)

@Kissy-Suzuki 11 месяцев назад

Everytime you see that it's matted!

@freeukraine372 4 года назад

How has it held up since using the video?

@AverageMe 4 года назад

So far so good!

@powerranger1279 Год назад

I have a question, I live in an apartment and there are liquid stains on the carpet by me trying to walk without spilling, will the rake get the stains out?😊

@AverageMe Год назад

No, all it can do is raise the nap and loosen dirt. I doubt it would remove a stain.

@observer8430 4 месяца назад

would been good to do a vaccum after to see if it picked up easier

@seemaanand5077 3 года назад

I’ve had mixed reviews on this product. Can you please confirm that this product does not ruin carpets?? Thank you

@AverageMe 3 года назад

I'm extremely happy with it. I've used it for months now, especially to groom the carpets prior to showing my house to sell, and it hasn't done a bit of harm. My wife says it's her best friend, lol! You can also see the results in this video: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-OWC3V74b5FE.html

@s.a3898 6 месяцев назад

Does the lifted carpet feel soft or like little spikes. I've tried lifting matted carpet using other techniques, but i couldnt get the same softness

@AverageMe 6 месяцев назад

It feels soft. After I would rake it, it was quite noticeable on bare feet. Of course, it could depend on the carpet style, and I did get into the habit of using the rake about once a week in the heavily matted areas to keep it looking and feeling good. I suspect it would be even better if you never let it get matted in the first place . The carpet in the video was a heavy traffic area.

@ziurziur1ify 2 года назад

Hello, how's the rake holding up?

@Thatdudeoverthere 2 года назад

I wonder how long the fluffing lasts.. I saw a few reviews say it was until it was stepped on... cuz that would suck to put so much effort in it, and its immediately undone.

@mchristina408 10 месяцев назад

@davoap1268 2 года назад

Hmmm, I don't know. This product looks fragile on the bristles and handle, and I fear it won't work on old carpets, older than 20+ years, with tough piles to bounce back. How can you compare this rake against a pvc yard broom when used on carpet?

@AverageMe 2 года назад

I don't know, but I'd say try whatever you think would work. I was happy with this product for my use.

@ziurziur1ify 2 года назад

Does this rake work on a shaggy carpet?

@jamesabroomeiii7552 4 года назад

When you move the carpet back and forth like that with a rake or something of that nature you're actually putting the dirt under the carpet part of it is being raped into a pile but part of it is going under the carpet but anyway

@AverageMe 4 года назад

There's not a lot of dirt to start with.

@italianmermaid6306 3 года назад

That isn’t true. Raking the carpet actually loosens and lifts the dirt prior to vacuuming. He did a great job, let him have his glory.

@italianmermaid6306 3 года назад

And the home wasn’t dirty to start with!

@lyssamariev 3 года назад

actually a lot of professional carpet cleaners here on RU-vid always recommend raking your carpets because a good vacuuming. they said it loosens the dirt and pile and helps clean it really well.

@davidandersen9696 2 года назад

And the first step on....it will be back down

@AverageMe 2 года назад

Of course, carpet always compresses when stepped on. And it’s not magically returning to new. What this will do is add life, keep it cleaner, and make it look better than it did without the rake.

@RM-1laray 2 года назад

@harxmoond 4 месяца назад

Most of the house is hardwood and there's only one flat spot on a 20y.o. carpet, about the size of a foot. I just use a fork and that works. Carpets are cleaned yearly and spot cleaned. Hopefully this helps anyone with similar issues,
