Q:i recently had a basement flood which covered the floor in 4 inches of water.After using two pond vacuum's, and a carpet shampoo and water extractor, the carpet and the pad are still wet. I would love to get the same carpet as i had. They do not have it on the Abbey carpet site anymore...HERE IS THE CARPET THAT WE HAD.

If its not on the Abbey site there are only 2 reasons for this.. The carpet is no longer made and discontinued or who ever you bought the carpet from has private labeled the carpet so no one shopping for an Abbey carpet ( or any thing else in their store) won t be able to cross shop and price compare. Big box stores are know to do this and some mom and pop stores. I never did. Now a suggestion.. Pull up the carpet and the pad. The pad is probably ruined. The carpet is more often than now salvageable if you can get it to dry. Or get a professional carpet cleaner in to vac out the carpet. they may be able to pull out enough water and along w/ fans and a dehumidifier, you may be able to save it. Most home owners policy's cover flood damage, its worth a call. Any questions you can e mail me through my avatar. GL

Q:Carpet how to take care of the cleanest?

1. Clean up in time. Use vacuum cleaners every day. Don't wait for a lot of dirt and dirt to seep into the carpet. After cleaning, it's easy to clean. When cleaning the carpet, be careful to sweep the floor under the carpet. 2, uniform use. After a few years, it's best to put the carpet in a different position so that it can be worn evenly. Once some places appear uneven, gently pat, or gently press with a steam iron. 3, decontamination methods. Ink stains can be citric acid wipe, wipe the place to wash with water, then dry towel to wipe water: coffee, cocoa, tea can get rid of glycerol: fruit juice with cold water and a small amount of dilute ammonia solution to remove the paint stains: available gasoline to washing powder together into a porridge like, painted at night to paint, special the morning of the second day with a towel and then dry warm water after cleaning dry

Q:my mom has purple marker stuck in her carpet.

You need a solvent to dissolve the marker and then it needs to be rinsed and extracted from carpet. You can try rubbing alcohol like the first suggestion but goof off or goo gone will work better. 1. Spray or pour onto carpet - It is important that you use a little bit at a time so you don't dissolve the glues in the backing or damage the fibers. Lightly agitate will a rag to help dissolve the contamination - too much agitation can damage fibers. It needs to be rinsed thoroughly with water. Soak the area with water and suck out immediately with a carpet cleaning machine or shop vac would work too. make sure you do this multiple times to remove all residues from the carpet Repeat steps 1, 2 3 until gone MANY CONSUMER CARPET CLEANING PRODUCTS CAN MAKE STAINS WORSE OR SET THE STAIN. Trying multiple products will greatly increase the odds of causing permanent damage. IF YOU CAN'T GET IT OUT YOU MAY WANT TO HIRE A PROFESSIONAL WHO USES PRO'S CHOICE INK OUT, PRO SOLV GEL, OR CITRA QUICK AND HAS EXPERIENCE REMOVING INK STAINS. GOOD LUCK!

Q:I have a smooth wood floor, and I just bought a rug without the rubber or weaved backing and it seems to slip around on the floor. Does anyone have any cheap suggestions that they know actually work to keep it from slipping all over my living room?Thanks!

The mats that are used under rugs will make them non slip and make the rugs safe to use. They come in many sizes and can be cut (with scissors)to fit so know your rug size . BUT you must get the type that are made for wood. These are special to allow wood to breathe so they don t stain the wood. They re washable so when they lose their tackiness you wash them and it comes back. The mats are available for rugs over carpet, wood and for hard surfaces, so get the right kind.
