Q:Okay.. Stupid question:Will a horse get caught up or whatever if they decide do roll while wearing a winter rug? Or will they be okay??Just wondering, cause I'm curious :)

My horse rolls all the time with a blanket on, and never has any problems. Make sure that belly straps lay ALMOST flat against the belly, there supposed to be loose not like a girth. and the hind leg straps should never hang below the hocks. Your horse should be just fine rolling with his blanket on.

Q:ive got 2 rugs in my kitchen i need to wash but they have a rubber back and im worried if i put them in the washier the rubber will wear off. last time i washed my fathers rugs for him the rubber started to come off in small chunks (it was also the first time they had ever been washed) and i dont want the same to happen to mine. im not worried about drying them id just lay them outside on the porch rail and let them air dry. does anyone have any suggestions? if i hand wash them will they get just as clean as if they were washed in the washer?

You can wash the rugs in your washing machine. Regular detergent, fabric softener optional. (I never use it for rugs.) If you're worried about the rubber backing, use the Cold water option, and let them air dry. However...here's the caveat: If you wash the rugs and allow them to air dry, they won't look fluffy. They'll look a little matted. You can fluff them a little with a clean hair brush after they've dried or run them through the dryer on Fluff, but to make the rugs look really fluffy and pretty, you'll need to dry them in your dryer. If you dry the rugs in your dryer, the rubber backing will break down. It's a Catch-22. So your choices: 1. Wash them in Cold water and let them air dry. Then fluff them with a hair brush...or run them on the no heat option. This will preserve the rubber backing, but the rugs won't be as fluffy as they looked new. - or - 2. Wash them and dry them in the dryer. This will make the rugs beautifully fluffy, but the backing will come off in pieces. Good luck. -

Q:kids had a musrard fight on a neutral colored carpet

You could try Spray Nine cleaner/degreaser/disinfectant. It's a great stain remover for carpets (except wool). You may have to apply it more than once if it is a particularly difficult stain. Rinse with clear water.

Q:how often do u buy new carpet for ur house?my husband has never got new capet in this house since he has lived here. and the guy lived here before had the same carpet. I think it is a time for some new carpet. My husband lived here 5 years so far. so who know how long the guy before us had this carpet. how do i get my husband to buy new carpet? also we own the house

I usually replace carpet if I detect wear and tear, the warranty has expired, excessive staining not covered by warranty or there are traffic compression paths. In my rentals, I tend to replace the carpet after each tenant because most are long term renters. When I purchase property that has been occupied previously, I always replace the carpet because I just don't know what happened on it before and how it was maintained. Being the owner of the home, it behooves you to purchase new carpet to add to the value of your home and to be covered by warranty.

Q:Okay, a its getting colder ive started rugging my horse again, but theres one slight problem. He' terrified of them. It never happened before, but for the past couple of weeks the only way i can get a rug off him is by undoing the straps and letting him spook while holding onto the rug, and then putting it on i have to have very skilled aim and try to get it on while he is running in circles.This isnt happening because this is his first year of having a rug, he has had them for all 14 years of his life, its just ridiculous, and its not like the rug is different in any way at all. Its not my method of putting on/taking off the rug either, no one at my stable can do it without him spooking. Just wondering though, is there anyway i can desensitise him to this? Or find a better way to get the rugs on and off?

allow the horse to sniff the rug and you should try hanging it in the stall to get him use to it. this doesn't work try having someone pet him and keep his head turned to distract him while putting on and removing it

Q:Does the carpet make them sound better? Or is it to protect the cabinet? Or is it just because it looks good?

Not all of them are carpeted. In fact, I don't think I've seen any carpeted ones in many years. Old Cerwin Vegas, had carpeting as I recall. Anyway, it's just cosmetic. The carpeting doesn't show road wear as much as the Tolex vinyl coverings.

Q:What is the carpet trace made of?

Nylon

Q:How can I wash the ink off the carpet?

Liquid ink: immediately use absorbent paper blotting ink, rinse with warm water, while drying excess moisture, if you need carpet cleaning agent available.

Q:I just moved into a brand new house to then spill bright red nail polish all over the carpet any ideas on how to get it out without ruining the carpet?

Try mineral spirits or steam cleaning. Good luck!
