I've got some burn marks on my carpet and I'm not sure how to deal with them. Do I need to cut out the damaged section and replace it, or is there another method that might work?

To tackle burn marks in your carpet, there are a few options depending on the severity. If the spots are small, you can often just trim the burnt fibers carefully with scissors. For larger damage, patching might be necessary, but that involves cutting out the burnt area and using a piece of matching carpet to replace it. It would help to see the damage to give better advice. Are you renting or is it your own place?
If you're renting, definitely be cautious! You can try cleaning the area first with some carpet cleaner or even a mix of vinegar and water. If that doesn’t help and you still have burn marks, you might need to patch it up, which can be a bit tricky, but it can look good as new if done right!
