Q:hi we bought a new black wool rug last week and since then my life has been taken over by little black hairs! they are all over the laminate floor, the furniture and our clothes. i have tried sweeping the rug but although i get quite a lot of hairs out of it, they just keep coming! my friend got a wool rug a year ago and although it has settled a bit she still has a similar problem. is there anything i can do to speed up the excess fluff loss or am i going to spend the rest of my time with a dustpan and brush in my hands?

Rent a rug doctor. Clean and wash the rug, that should remove most of the loose fabrics. Yes you can use a rug doctor on wool carpets. One of the shampoo is advertising this. New Oxy-Steam? Carpet Cleaner * Oxygen boosters lift out embedded dirt, bacteria and allergens. * Gentle on carpet and safe to use on wool and wool-blend carpets.

Q:I'm looking for a new rug for a private elementary school library. It must be clear colors, thick enough not to roll on the edges and steam-cleanable. Any ideas?

First off - Rugs/Carpet usually do not Wear out. Matting or crushing is what the consumer perceives to be wear, but it is usually a result of soil build up without proper maintenance. Your rug/carpet must be professionally steam cleaned once a year and the vacuum you use must be checked to see that the bead-er bar is functioning properly to beat at the fibers. Second - price will play a huge part in the size and type. Since this is for an elementary school and they probably do not have rug/carpet in budget, my guess is that you will be paying for it? Suggestion - go to a local carpet store and pick out the least expensive to your taste, have the store order to your size and then have it bound around the edges. You can pickup double side tape and use this to hold carpet flat. This may be your least expensive way. Good Luck.

Q:What about carpet shedding?

Keep the carpet dry. Therefore, carpets should be aired regularly. Sun in the sun, this also can avoid wool carpet fading problems.

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.

Nothing in the carpet should be harmful to him, but the carpet being in him could potentially be harmful. Depending on how much and how big of chunks he ate, it could cause a gastrointestinal blockage. Additionally, if the carpet is stiff with any sharp edges (like on the bottom) it could potentially perforate internal organs as it digests. He may pass it on his own, but keep an eye on him. If he displays any sensitivity to touch to his belly, vomiting, unwillingness to eat or constipation, take him to the vet. I would also monitor his stool closely. First, make sure he's going regularly. Second, check the stool for fibers or pieces of the carpet to see if it's passed.

Q:my idiot dog decided to pee on my $300 hand made, natural dyed rug that i got in afghanistan. of course she would choose that spot out of the entire house. my dilemma is how to clean it. i'm scared to use normal stain removers because of the natural dyes. any ideas?

You can try a home carpet machine but, I have had good luck with using oxyclean like you use for laundry. Just mix some with water and dip a rag in it and start scrubbing the stain with it. Then when you have lightened the stain a bit, maybe the home rug machine. Or a professional carpet cleaner, you have spent a pretty penny on wool and a professional may be the way to go. The oxyclean does well though, I got bright red vomit out of a beige carpet (shag) with it. But, my carpet is not wool. The only thing is, that spot gets dirty easier because, I didn't scotch guard the spot after.

Q:I have a couple of very expensive rugs that I need cleaned. Just dont want to trust them to anybody that may not know to do them right. Anybody know of a professional that does this

Q:What color of the carpet looks good with white tile?

Q:My Water Heater and flooded about 10 x 10 carpet area. What do i do? anyone have recommendation for those carpet cleaners rented at ACO, Home depot?

OHHHH NOOO! That happened to us once. I'm SO sorry you're going through this. I feel your pain. Sounds like a job for Servpro, if you have them in your area. They came to our house and took care of everything. They were very professional. We filed a homeowners claim, because we had so much damage done to our house. We had to just rip out the old carpet and get new. Good luck, hun. I'd definitely hire someone to do it professionally or else you could get black mold in there. That's a real health hazard.
