This is not something I would try to do as I am all thumbs. I tried spraying with water, blow drying. and messaging with my fingers against the nap. It helped some but not enough to look normal. I trust the experience of our wise members to suggest to best way to raise the nap of the rug to its original height.

Does anyone have any experience doing this?

What have you found to be the most effective way to remedy this problem?

Let it go. It will come back up! Just needs time. Happens all the time.
