Stretch Carpet Properly With Carpet Knee Kickers


Tuck in new carpeting with a carpet knee kicker. When installing a new carpet, a kicker allows you to stretch the carpet's edges over near walls for a flat appearance. To use, press the kicker's teeth into the carpet about two inches from the wall or baseboard, and tap the square pad using your knee to tuck the carpeting in. Doing this along each wall makes sure all areas of the carpet are smooth and there are no bumps or ripples present. While using a kicker for laying carpet, you can also wear a knee pad to avoid possible soreness or injury.


Carpet kickers are made of either steel or aluminum. Steel kickers are reliable for frequent or long-term use. Aluminum kickers are lighter and easier to carry around. Aluminum may also require less knee power to use. Most kickers are also adjustable to best accommodate your body so that you're able to kick carpet in comfortably.


After kicking, be sure to properly remove excess carpeting along your wall or baseboard with a compatible carpet cutter. Read our guide — How to Clean Carpet — for useful tips on how to care for your new floor.
