Press an iron on the cloth for about 30-60 seconds and move it in a circular motion.

Next you want to fluff the carpet.

You can do this with your fingers but it's much easier to use a brush or comb.

When you're finished go over the carpet a final time with a brush so the carpet has an even look.
