How to Take Burns Out of Carpet

If someone drops something like a lit cigarette on your carpet, leaving behind a burn, you cannot take out the burn. The burn took out part of your carpet. The burn also changed some of the carpet fibers, turning them dark and singed. Depending on the degree of the burn and the type of carpet, however, it is often possible to remove some of the scorched fibers and restore the appearance of the carpet.
