Does anyone know how to find something small you've dropped in the carpet?

Question

i dropped a small metal ball from my earring into the carpet and i need help finding. are there any tricks or hints you have for finding stuff like that? thanks.

Answer 1

walk on the carpet with bare feet.  If it's there, you'll find it.

Answer 2

Yes you can !! get your vacuum cleaner and attach a thin piece of cotton to the suckin end nozzle and vacuum away --you will catch the small piece in the cotton .

Answer 3

use a magnet tied to a string and sweep it across the rug ,it will pick it up.

Answer 4

Darken the room and get down on the floor with a flashlight. Shine the light across the carpet and the metal ball will light up if it hasn't been pushed into the pile.

Answer 5

put a cloth of somekind on the end of a vacume cleaner, so it doesn't suck anything up, and go over the floor, checking it.

Answer 6

I would use one of those clothes brushes that are just a roll of sticky tape, roll it over the carpet where you think it might have fallen.
