Place an ice cube in the dented area of carpet. Let the ice melt, then blot up the moisture with a clean towel or paper towels. Scrape your fingers or a wide-tooth comb over the area to pop the fibers back up.

Place a damp towel over the indentation. Set an iron to medium heat and let it warm up. Hold the hot iron a few inches above the towel for one or two minutes. Don't let the iron touch the towel or carpet, or it could cause a burn spot. Set the iron aside and let the area cool. Comb through the fibers with your fingers to fluff them up.
