- 1). Roll the rug in the opposite way from how it has curled. If the rug sits on the floor with one end tucked under, roll that end up and over. Allow the rug to remain rolled up in this position for one to two hours. Unroll the rug slowly on a flat surface, pushing it smooth with your hand as you unroll it.
- 2). Heat an iron to the lowest heat setting. Spray the curled end of the rug with water. Avoid drenching the rug; mist it only. Lay a white cloth over the moist end. Glide the iron over the cloth, pushing the iron into the rug so it lies flat. Remove the cloth when you finish ironing and smooth the rug with your hand.
- 3). Spray the curled end of the rug lightly with water. Set a plastic sheet over that area. You may also use two to three large plastic bags to cover the wet area. Lay heavy objects, such as books or boxes, on top of the plastic covering the rug. Allow the heavy items to remain on the rug overnight. Remove them the next morning and smooth out the rug.
