Will the carpet burn?

I don't know what to do with the old carpet, so I thought of cutting it and burning it in the fireplace in the evening. Would it work?

Answer :

It depends on the material - if it's plastic, I definitely wouldn't burn it! - and certainly not in the fireplace where I roast food. If it's cotton (it can be burned just fine) or wool (yeah - that would stink - you'd have to make a big fire and put the rug in small pieces), you can burn. But - don't you have a municipal waste collection point nearby? - it would be easiest to take the carpet there ...

Last Answer : A simple trick for repairing small burn holes in upholstery or carpet is to trim off a little of the pile or fiber from an inconspicuous spot, like under the seat. Then put waterproof glue in the hole, and poke the carpet fibers into the bare spot. It really works.
