How do you flatten the edges of a new rug?

You can dampen your rug by either using a steamer or a wet paper towel/sponge. Make sure the edges are slightly damp but definitely not soaked all the way through, which could risk damaging your rug. Next, put a towel over your rug and iron the entire section flat. If that doesn’t work, try ironing the rug directly.
