Abstract
The present invention provides a steam system for repairing bent carpet fibres and includes a steam generator and an application tool having a head with a downwardly opening oven-like steam chamber fed by the steam generator to apply steam to the bent carpet fibres at a pressure and temperature to cause fibre relaxation. The head of the application tool further includes a fibre lifter for lifting the fibres to an upstanding position after they have been relaxed by the steam.
