Carpet Burns: How To Avoid These Common Accidents
                     Carpet Burns: How To Avoid These Common Accidents 
 
Carpet burns happen either from cigarettes or from other accidents such as a 
log rolling from a fireplace or sparks flickering from a fireplace, to a lamp shade 
falling and the light bulb touching the carpet. Even an iron falls from the 
ironing board can singe the carpet, these types of incidents happen all the 
time.  
What is a Carpet Burn? 
Carpet burns can be very painful, and if not treated quickly, they can lead to 
serious health complications. Here are three tips to help avoid carpet burns: 
1. Make sure your carpets are clean. Carpet burns often occur on areas that 
are dirty or dusty. Make sure your carpets are clean before you use them. 
2. Use caution when cleaning your carpets. Be careful not to spray cleaning 
chemicals directly onto the carpet fibres. Cleaning chemicals can cause a 
carpet burn if they encounter the skin. 
3. Keep children away from the carpeted area while you're cleaning it. If a child 
gets caught in the crossfire of a cleaning operation, he or she could end up 
with a painful carpet burn. 
 
Types of Carpet Burns 
There are a few types of carpet burn repair. The first is heat burn. This occurs 
when the body's temperature gets too high from the friction of the carpet 
against the skin. The second is chemical burn. This happens when a liquid or 
substance contact the skin and causes an inflammation. The third is thermal 
burn. This happens when there is too much heat applied to a area of the body 
and it causes damage to cells and tissues.  
 
To avoid these types of accidents, it is important to be careful while changing 
floors in a home or office building. Make sure that you have adequate lighting 
and wear gloves if necessary, so that you do not cause any further injury to 
yourself or your belongings. It also helps to take some time before making any 
changes so that you can assess how many people will need to move and how 
much space will be available once the change is complete. 
 
Prevention Techniques 
Carpet burns can be caused by a number of things, including walking on hot 
surfaces, using a stovetop without an oven mitt, and stepping on the cord of a 
portable heater. To prevent these accidents, use caution when dealing with 
hot objects and surfaces, always wear oven mitts when cooking or handling 
pots and pans, and keep your heater cord tucked away out of reach. 
 
Treatment of Carpet Burns 
Carpet burns can be traumatic, painful and difficult to treat. Here are some tips 
to help prevent them: 
-Keep a supply of adhesive bandages on hand for treating carpet burns. Place 
the adhesive bandage over the affected area and secure it in place with a 
bandage wrapper. 
-If the burn is severe, seek medical attention. Treatment may include 
antibiotics, pain relief medications and steroid injections. 
-Rinse the area thoroughly with detergent and water. Apply cold packs to the 
area to reduce inflammation.
