How to get burn marks out of carpet
Loosen up the fibers with a pair of tweezers.
You want the carpet fibers to stand up as straight as possible, which will make it easier to target the burnt pieces. Use the tweezers to brush the fibers back against the grain, plucking at them a bit to loosen them up.

Choose your answer from:
* Use fabric softener to loosen as well. Fabric softener is not a cheap option, but it allows you to remove burned pieces of carpet more easily..
* This will also help dislodge the burned fibers-hold your tweezers against the carpet edge. Continue to brush the fibers back and forth until they come up..
* This will draw out the burned fibers and prep the carpet for the routine process of drawing down stray hairs. This is particularly important if you're trying to cut out a sticky rug..
* Snip off the burnt top layer with a pair of scissors. Try to only cut the black or brown burnt part, not the lower, unaffected layer..
