The overall cost depends on the size of the affected area and the carpet material.

STEP BY STEP INSTRUCTIONS

Step 1: Preparing the Area

Gently trim away any loose threads, frayed edges, or burn marks around the pet scratches to create a smooth and clean surface.
Clean the area around the pet scratches thoroughly with a mild cleaning solution and a soft cloth to remove dirt, dust, or residue that could affect the repair.
If the area beneath the pet scratches is indented or lacks padding, evenly fill it with cotton balls or wadding to restore its shape and provide a stable foundation for the repair.

Step 2: Mixing the Repair Fibers

Refer to the Color Mixing Guide included in the kit to create a custom color that perfectly matches your carpet.
Use the empty mixing jar to prepare your custom blend.
Add the matching color fibers and the metal ball to the jar, then shake it vigorously to ensure thorough mixing.
Test the color by applying a small amount to your carpet to confirm it matches before proceeding with the repair.

Step 3: Applying the Fabric Glue

Carefully apply the glue to the pet scratches on your carpet, starting at the outer edges and moving inward to avoid trapping air bubbles.
Distribute the glue evenly across the pet scratches to ensure a smooth finish.
Blend the repair seamlessly with the surrounding surface of your carpet for a natural appearance.

Step 4: Adding the Fibers

Take off the lid of the mixing jar and remove the metal ball.
Stretch the mesh over the jar’s opening and secure it tightly with a rubber band to create a simple sieve.
Turn the jar upside down over the glue on your carpet.
Gently tap the jar to sprinkle the fabric fibers evenly across the adhesive, ensuring full coverage of the glue.

Step 5: Finishing Touches

Gently press the fibers down with the spatula, ensuring they are evenly packed for a polished finish.
If your carpet has patterns like lines or swirls, use the edge of the spatula to replicate them for a natural look.
Let the repair dry fully for at least 24 hours to ensure the adhesive cures properly.
After the glue has completely dried, carefully blow away or brush off any loose fibers for a clean result.

Step 6: Maintenance

Maintain the repaired area by routinely dusting or gently vacuuming your carpet to prevent dirt and debris from compromising the repair.
To enhance durability, consider applying a protective treatment, such as a stain guard, to safeguard against spills and future damage.
Avoid exposing your carpet to direct sunlight or excessive heat, as this can weaken the repaired surface. Whenever possible, keep your carpet in a cool, shaded location to preserve its appearance and durability.
Avoid using harsh chemicals, abrasive cleaning agents, or rough scrubbing tools, as these can damage both the repaired section and the surrounding surface.
For carpet that experiences frequent use, inspect the repaired area regularly to identify and address any minor wear or issues early, ensuring the repair lasts as long as possible.

Works Even on Shag Carpets!

My cat decided the edge of my shag carpet was her new scratching post, and it looked beyond repair. I was hesitant to try fixing it myself, but the Coconix kit had everything I needed. Matching the fibers was the hardest part, but the results are surprisingly good. You’d need to inspect closely to even notice the damage. For someone with multiple pets, this is a lifesaver.
