Hey guys,

I had a flat plastic carpet protector when I sit down on my desktop computer at my old address for approx 6 months. I spend approx 10 - 13 hours per day on my desktop as I work and play on my desktop.

I moved homes and I don't want to use the plastic anymore as it created a flat circle crator in the carpet. I tried to vacuum, brush the carpet to make it fluffy again but its going to take some time.

Please look at picture below of the dent/crator/flat carpet circle from my chair.

Is there any product to prevent this? I am thinking a thick mini rug?

    I use a carpet protecting plastic mat under mine and the carpet still looks like new under the mat.

    I use a carpet protector under a rug. I don't roll either.

    It still leaves some marks but nowhere near as bad as your photo and arguably wear-and-tear.

    I use this https://www.ikea.com/au/en/p/kolon-floor-protector-90176245/ possibly the cheapest one out there. I have been using since 3 years, no issue at all.

      Is that really called the kolon protector? Ew….

    There are floor mats for hard floors and special spiked floor mats for carpets. Get a hard plastic floor mat from a good brand (not cheap flexible rubber like ones on eBay) and you won't have this problem. They ain't cheap though. Expect to spend $75+

    The crater is easy to fix.
    If you do end of lease cleaning, the steam clean will liven up the carpet. If you want to DIY, cover the crater a couple of hours or overnight with a damp towel.
    Make sure the next day is sunny, remove the towel then open the window/use dehumidifier to dry the carpet before mould grows.
    Crater made from distributed weight of carpet mat over large area is faster to restore than deeper craters caused by purely chair legs.
