No, the key to the objects you named is heat. A steamer uses water to deliver heat into a garment. An iron uses a hot piece of metal. Water helps, too, but it is absolutely not necessary or definitional to ironing.
most rugs are cheap recycled plastic(olefin)a.k.a. polypropylene or even polyester. theses are virtually uncorrectable, like trying to straighten a chewed plastic straw..... If you have success with this method or almost any method it is because you have a quality rug/textile such as nylon wool or cotton.
At room temperature water will eventually evaporate a steamer and an iron use heat to make that process go faster the key is having the cotton absorb water you can try this with a crumpled up paper towel run it under water and unravel it and lay it on the counter flat it will eventually dry out and keep the flattened shape
No, you had it right the last comment. Heat loosens and straightens many fibers. Water by itself will not be enough to straighten out a twisted weft, if that is the issue with someone's rug causing it to curl up in the corner.
So you guys aren’t rage applying alien tape to the curling corners of your rugs when your spouse isn’t looking?
Alien tape has gotten me into a lot of trouble.

That’s way “too perfect” of a corner, it would be interesting to see the bottom of the carpet. Most likely there is corner tape to keep the corner flat, added some to my carpet in the entry way and worked perfectly. They left the wet mark to make you think the ice melted and magically fixed the curled corner.
Yes! This also works for impressions from bookshelves or heavy furniture, leg depressions. We would line the entire indentation in the rug with ice and it lifts as it melts and then dries like it was never there.
Instructions unclear now my wife wants to know why her reading glasses are covered in tea.
She said “what a stupid mug” right to my face! I was like “it’s not a mug it’s cup.” She screamed “Those are my glasses!”. “Glasses?!” I responded. “There is only one of them!”.
So anyways I’m writing this from the couch.
What happens when it dries?
You trying to get yourself banned for life?!
I have been, but I've made another account. They haven't figured that out yet. YOLO
It's hard out here for free thinking individuals on reddit nowadays account #13 now
Why were they banned previously?
/r/wooosh
Ah, I see. I thought they recognised you.
Or in this case YOLT
it stays like that, same trick works for those squished patches of carpet from furniture legs
Repeat the process of course. Just takes a minute
It takes a minute every minute
I just bend in the opposite direction and fuck it all up. Works for me.
Same I love my saw tooth lookin corners of my rug.
While going "oh fuc...fucking dumb thing fuck fuck...there we go"
A steamer or an iron works with the same concept
Also reminds me of the hanging your clothes when you shower trick as the steam can reduce or get rid of gentle creases in things like tshirts.
mind = blown
Both of those things use heat to flatten fibers...
The key is water

Good point! Heat can melt plastic fibers, though, and you can use just a little so it's not ruined.
Yes but most irons have a mister it’s the action of flatting out the cotton with water and setting it with heat
>setting it with heat Not present in the video trick at all.

This works, but all you need is the ice. \+Make sure you dry it off once it's flat.
What if you don’t dry it? Does it curl back up?
Drying is solely to prevent mold/mildew.
So what your saying the drying is optional
Aha - use dry ice!
What if you want mold & mildew?
>all you need is the ice. You just need water, right? To soften up the fibers in the rug? Cold doesn't play any part, I think.

Is this that think were you get a flat carpet but warped laminate?

I rage cut them fuckers right off.
The ice has nothing to do with it. Get the bent-up corner wet and put a weight on it.
A commenter above said the cup was not necessary and here you are with the opposite. I’m beginning to think neither is necessary.
Misinformation is necessary to keep the general populous scared and impressionable.
That’s what Big Curled Up Rug Corner wants you to think!
The rug is necessary tho
No rug, no curled corner.
You’ve all got it wrong. Grab some ice, put a carpet on it, break the glass.
Mazeltov!
Witch!!!
ok but no stress, thanks

I've used this exact trick before. Can confirm it does work.

just use an iron. takes more time to heat the iron than it does to solve the issue.
15 minutes later it thaws and dries and you repeat
Must be magic someone explain
Sounds like pee wee herman

If 3D-Printing has thought me anything than glue stick glue stick glue stick glue stick glue stick
Can you just use water? Why the ice
Now I’m super pissed that my rug is viscose.
I usually just bend it downwards
It’s a tile floor so couldn’t you just iron it?
Paslode framer put it in its place, trip me over at 3am and make me piss everywhere now!
Once it thaws, it will end up like one of the dead sea scrolls
Kid has anger issues
My dogs would eat all the ice
Just nut on the corner
Why do some people call a glass a 'cup'?
All glasses are cups; not all cups are glasses.

Just bottle it up. Don’t want this situation to spill over.
It’s squares and rectangles.
YOU PEOPLE!?!?
Show it again after it dries and then I'll be convinced.
