Uses for Carpet Scraps
1. Move Heavy Furniture
Slide pieces of carpet pile-side down under-neath the legs of a bureau, bed, or dresser, then push it across the floor—much easier than lifting.
2. Get Your Mower Going
Does your riding mower get mired in the spring mud? No problem. Wedge scraps of carpet under the front edge of the trapped wheel, which will provide traction to dislodge it.
3. Cushion Your Knees When Gardening
Roll up a scrap of carpet and kneel on it when spreading mulch, planting flowers, or weeding.
4. Scrub Window Screens
Dip a clean piece of carpet into warm, sudsy water, and rub the pile side onto screens to get rid of gunk, dust, and buildup.
5. Muffle Your Washer and Dryer
Place scraps of carpet underneath the feet of laundry machines to dampen thumping noises.
