Q:Ok, I have a very dirty carpet with dried on blood stains from one of my pets (He is ok, he had an infection) that's been sitting there for a few weeks. The carpet has not been cleaned for three years, and is very dirty. The stain was pretreated immediately after the incident, but never got out. I am going to clean the carpet now, and here is my plan. I am going to get - 1 Rental Bissell Big Green Deep Cleaner- 1 Bissell Spotbot- 1 box of Borax- 1 box of OxycleanWhat should I use as the carpet cleaning solution? Have any pretreat recommendations? Have any suggestions?

When you rent the carpet cleaner, there will be cleaning solutions there that you can buy. Use the Oxyclean to pretreat, but do not put it or the Borax in the carpet cleaner machine. They will ruin the machine and then you will have to pay for it or for repairs. Use only the cleaning solutions that are recommended. Ask the person who is renting the machine to you. They know what cleaner to use for what stains. If you have not cleaned your carpet for over 3 years, you may have to do some heavy traffic areas 2 or 3 times to get all the dirt out. But it's worth it, as you will see. I would pretreat the blood stains with the Oxyclean, as directed on the box/canister. Good Luck!

Q:I am looking for a reasonably priced Persian rug. I have searched on craigslist but can't find anything. I am located in the Bay Area, and would like to know if anyone knows a cool place to find new or used Persian rugs?

Check OKorder for real ones. Used persians are just fine if in good condition.

Q:washed carpet with carpet cleaner,it has dried but has left an awfull smell,how do i get rid of smell,any ideas

Milk is an acid, and an alkaline material such as baking soda will neutralize the odor. Cover the stained area with baking soda, sprinkle with water, and leave the mixture there for a few hours or overnight, then sweep up the loose baking soda and vacuum up the rest.

Q:I bought my son one but i don't know if its okay for him to drive it over on the carpet.

Yeah it's fine. Eventually you'll have to pull off the wheels and get the carpet fibers that are wrapped around the axle and the motor drive shaft out but that's not a big deal.

Q:cat pissed on my NEW rug as you can tell i'm not happy. I hate to throw it away. That's 400.00 i hate to throw away. I used vinger and soap. pLus i shampooed it. WHat can i do

I just Googled Ashley area rug and noticed that they are made from nylon, one of the points being easy to clean. Can you ask the manufacturer or place you bought it? I'd try just straight white vinegar sponged on and then blotted. I'd then elevate or hang the rug so both sides can air until completely dry. Get a squirt bottle and use it keep the cat off the rug. Good luck.

Q:I have a puppy that is a year old and she still isn't fully potty trained(shes a lot better than she used to be, but still has accidents) plus i have a toddler and normally have many other children here- leaving spills and stains. So for the past year I have used my carpet shampooer A LOT but am now concerned that it may have mold under it or in the padding. my mother keeps telling me they aren't a good thing to use and they will create mold. So I am wondering if it would be moldy and if so how I can get rid of the mold? Thanks!:)

There would only be mold if it was sopping wet and never dried.

Q:I had my boss come over for dinner last night and his 15 year olD pooped on my rug and it stinks how can i get the stain out

try some diaper soaker .first try iit onsome part oof the rug that can't be seen in case it takes the colour of the rug out .then use it carefully ,not too much soaker.about half a cup in a litre of water get as much of the poop off as you can before you start then gently drawing the stain to the center from each side dab on the diaper soaker. you will need to put the soaker in some warm water. when you think you have got it cleaned up get a micro cotton towel and put it over the stain and stand on it .this will soak up most of the water .you may have to repeat this to get it all out .

Q:My horse is currently shedding, and i have a rug on him all the time, summer rug during the day, and a winter on at night.Does having a rug on help with shedding?Another question, my horse is shedding very little hair, i can tell he is shedding though, and when my pony sheds she loses a lot of hair from one groom, but my horse hasn't been losing much, will lots more gradually start coming off?

Hey, Well yes rugs do help with shedding there coats. There coats grow to there needs. So he may need more warmth then the pony. But it will come out as it needs to. Remember its a Natural thing so if its not shedding now it will with time. But yes rugs have help speed up the process in my horses. Anyway good luck and happy riding!!

Q:I'm looking for a dark green Oriental rug. The green should be a forest or emerald green to replace the previous rugs. Every time I look for these greens, I find various shades of sage, teal, seafoam, and olive. This is not what I'm looking for. It needs to be large (at least 8x10 feet), and be classy/fancy and durable enough to cover the wooden floor in the dining room. A floral or Asian print would be preferred. If anyone knows of such a rug, or where to buy one, please let me know. (Please don't just link me to or mention OKorder or Macy's or something. I've already looked there.) Thanks! =)

Hey, I recently use Oakham Oriental Rugs, they have a stunning wide range of Oriental rugs available. Great prices too!! You should check them out too. They hand pick each of their rugs, as they only sell the highest quality. Highly recommend.
