Q:I painted my room lime green and purple last weekend, and I got a big splotch of purple on my white carpet, any ideas on how to get it out?Thank you x3

Often paint on carpet is just on the very tips of the fibers. If this is the case you can just snip the paint off with sharp scissors. Just cut the very tips of the fibers. Work slowly. Don't cut a single millimeter more than you have to and pull up while cutting. This will help prevent divots in the carpet. Try your best to do just one or two fibers at a time...not a whole clump. Dissect any paint clumps first by cutting them in half or thirds, so that you separate clumps. This will work unless you have already used nail polish remover or rubbing alcohol. and have worked the paint into the carpet. Also...cutting paint off carpet will work on shag or plush carpet, but not Berber or loopy carpet. Good luck. -

Q:I'm interested in re-carpeting our new house in two small bedrooms, which are approximately 12x14 each. I'm assuming carpet is $1.50 per square foot, but I have no idea about carpet padding.I'm looking into Home Depot for installation.What do you think a rough estimate for my budget should be?Thanks!

For that priced carpet, budget a minimum of 3$ a s/f for that carpet to be installed with a basic 5 1/2 or 6 pound pad. . Doing those measurements you have 336 s/f. Budget a minimum 1000$. Some times places like HD have specials to install whole house for 99$. This will bring costs down a lot. Closer to the 800$ range. Always budget a bit more for any surprises such as disposal of the old. Rip up if your not doing it and the outside chance of sub floor repair, etc. Any questions you can e mail me through my avatar.

Q:I have a 4 month old who's crawling and walking while holding onto things. Needless to say, he's 4 months old and falls flat on his face quite often and just pushes himself along face down with his legs for a few seconds before picking himself back up. So he's got a rug burn on his nose...Any treatments for a quick cure? Aloe Vera, maybe?

Q:It is just a plain pink bathroom rug, that has like the rubber or whatever on the bottom. But it is dirty and needs cleaned, how can I do this??

I put it in the washer and then let it air dry. Comes out nice and fluffy and soft!

Q:Which is more socially responsible: a machine made or hand made rug?

Socially responsible? Never with a rug, does not even make sense. Look when buying a rug, spend a littel extra money on a handmade rug. It is more durable, it will last hundred of years if taken care of. I have three Persian rugs that are over 100 years old. They are solid and beautiful. In my girls room I have a man made pottery barn kids rug. Every time I vac the girls rug it gets sheared from the vacuum and is falling apart after one year. This happened as well from a rug from JCPenney. Good luck!

Q:Say my carpet is white and I would like to make it.... red. Can it be done? Does anyone know where I can find such a product.I called the Home Depot and some rude black chick said I should clean it. After I told her the carpet is not in need of cleaning, but maybe a change in color, I reminded her that we put someone on the moon, and built a bunch of pyramids, she still had nothing for me.If not products, ideas? Home remedies?I would appreciate it.

This is a maybe, maybe not answer. Any carpet with stain protection is very very hard to change the color of. If you have a low price builder grade carpet it will be easier to dye. The better quality carpet will be harder to change the color of. The stain protector will prevent the dye from getting into the fiber. After all, a stain is just a carpet dyed the wrong color. To dye a stain protected carpet the carpet must be over 150 degrees hot, hard to do in a home. You will need to call several carpet dyers to get a real answer. Its expensive almost as much as getting a new carpet. Be sure to check the warranties they have. Dyed carpet colors can track off to adjoining floors and home dyed carpets tend to fade fast.

Q:My puppy ate up a 1 by 1 inch square on my very old furry carpet. Will this harm him?He is a 21 week old shiba inu.

It shouldn't be harmful but it would be best if you talked to his vet about this and get some advice.

Q:As a part of modern decoration, carpet can not only beautify the living environment, but also improve the comfort of decoration and reduce walking noise. Carpets can be divided into many kinds according to materials, so what kinds of carpets are there? What material is good?

At first, carpets were only used to pave the ground, which played a role in keeping out the cold and humidity and was conducive to sitting and lying. With the development of society. Carpet has gradually developed into a high-grade decoration, which not only has the functions of heat insulation, moisture-proof and comfort, but also has noble, gorgeous, beautiful and pleasing effects, so it has become a necessary product for high-grade architectural decoration. Carpets of different materials are used in different areas, and the best one is the one suitable.

Q:Ok ... So I have two messy boys at home, a 2 year old and a 23 year old. They are, like I said, messy. There's nothing I can do to make them cleaner, so I was thinking about gettinga long rug to go in front of our couch. The couch is a dark green, our carpet is a light beige. Would that look retarded, or like a blatant cover up? And if I get one, what color should it be? Our walls are a light off white.

If it were me I would get a rug that would fit under the entire couch like giant place mat. Match with accent colors in the room. If I may, to cut down on the mess, I think junior needs to start looking for an apartment. hope this helps
