Default Furniture dents in carpets

Hi,
I have just moved some furniture around and there are dents in the carpet
where the furniture used to stand.

Can anyone give any advice on how to remove these dents?

Thanks

I've never tried this but I've heard you can put ice cubes in/on the dent
and let them melt and the dents disappear.

A helpful D&K book we have with lots of hints + tips for these sorts of
things suggests putting an ice cube into the hole and letting it melt... not
tried it myself.

Let an ice cube melt on the dent (or soak the patch with cold water) and as
the carpet dries it will spring back up again. I didn't believe this one
until I tried it myself on a new carpet. We have a really heavy bed and it
made very deep dents in the carpet. The water trick sorted it out!!

I give then a good rub with the narrow nossle (crevice tool)
on the vacuum cleaner, such as to suck the pile back upright.
