Q:is there anything people can suggest to get an odour out of an area rug... it says specifially that I can't shampoo it so thats out.I can try febreeze but that always seems to just mask the odour it doesn't actually get rid of it.I think the odour itself stems from our vacuum, it needs replacing but until then I need to figure out a work around for this smelly rug as my infant usually has his play blanket ontop of it and has tummy time on there so I really don't want it to smell anymore.1. Can't shampoo2. Febreeze only masksAny suggestions please!!

50-50....vinegar and water..add baking soda...spray all over the rug..let dry..vacuum and do again......but don't vacuum..sprinkle baking soda on it and let it sit a day..then vacuum WORKS GREAT ON ANY ODOR!!

Q:I'm looking for the best vacuum cleaner that washes house rug/carpet. Any price will be ok. Once it does the job. Thanks

The best cleaning solutions to use on your carpet are the Rug Doctor brand. These products work best and are the most economical, particularly when purchased at warehouse type stores.

Q:very dirty small children juice spills food spills please help!!!

Or... if it's synthetic, take it out onto the driveway hose it down, put some soap on it and brush it in lightly, then rinse it with the hose. My family used to put an old shower curtain down under the high chair. Works wonders. Good luck.

Q:I've found some rugs that I like but they are all too small like only 2X3' Can anyone help me find any bigger rugs like 5X4' or something around that? thanks!

Rugs that are polypropylene are indoor/outdoor rugs that if purchased at the right place will be soft to the touch and offer the ability to just take them outside and hose them down to clean. They are offered in all styles from traditional to contemporary. Look at Frontgate, Grandinroad and Home Decorators for starters. They are much, much less expensive than standard rug fabrics and are beautiful. They come in all sizes. I picked up a 5x5 round for $99.00 from Frontgate. That is not possible in regular rugs.

Q:Soot from a fuel oil furnace has been tracked onto my carpet. I tried regular carpet cleaner but it left a big black circle around where I cleaned.

believe it or not the best way to remove stains such as this is a little water in a spray bottle and a shop vacuum. spray the area then extract and repeat until clean.

Q:How to stick to the carpet tiles

AB is not, AB glue after solidification relatively hard not flexible, stampede days will fall off, I said the glue is flexible, and if you have a ready answer can speak out directly refer to research.

Q:I have regular rugs and the back of them keep peeling and the colors are faded. I have washed them numerous times. I have heard that people are now using memory foam rugs. What is the purpose for memory foam rugs?

Sounds like a bad idea to me -- I presume you mean bathroom rugs. Memory foam is not very durable with heavy use and it would be wierd under a rug since it has such a slow rebound from pressure. The rug would be lumpy all of the time, leaving footprint marks wherever you walked. You also can't machine wash or machine dry foam rugs because they will break down from the heat and rough tumbling. It sounds like you like to keep them clean so that doesn not seem like it would be an acceptable option for you. Don't buy rugs with rubber coating on the back in the first place -- it always breaks down with time. If fading is a problem, stick to rugs made from synthetic fibers like acrylic polyester or olefin fibers instead of cotton or nylon. Those synthetics will retain their dye colors better. Buy good quality thick rugs with a woven fabric back or, better yet, that are reversible. I have had high quality reversible bath rugs in both polyester and in Egyptian cotton -- they have lasted beautifully for years with frequent washing and tumble drying.

Q:I recently moved a couch and chair which was in the same position for 3 years on carpet. Any suggestions how to raise up the indent that is in the carpet. Thank you.

Depends on the type of carpet you have but there are two tricks that generally work. The 1st way is to set an ice cube(s) on the indent. Carefully work up the pile as the cube melts, A hair pick works well for doing this. The other trick ( if you have a heat set carpet fiber) is to CAREFULLY inject steam into the dent. Use an iron and do steam on the dent as you work at the fibers with a hair pick. You can also put a damp hand towel ( very warm water) on the dent along with a steam injected into the dent. Extreme care must be used doing it this way as not to melt the carpet fibers. Any questions you can e mail me through my avatar. GL

Q:What are the brands of household carpets? What's good?

My advice is to choose a large area laying vinyl woven carpet, so as not to breed mites nor bacteria moldy, cleaning care is also very simple, good vinyl woven carpet on the choice of the Swedish dragon carpet, if not too clean trouble, or simply choose a small decorative blanket can be considered if more than other traditional brand carpet.
