Q:I'm getting my first tattoo today. My friends were telling me that it will be tender for about 4 or 5 days. They said it would feel kinda like a rug burn or a grass burn. Does that sound right to you?Also, I'm a bit nervous about needles. Can you guys tell me how it feels to be tattooed?Thanks!

None of my tats were tender for that long. Keep it really moist with AD ointment and you should be fine. The worst part about getting a tattoo is the wiping (when they wipe off the excess ink every couple of minutes). I have my lower back, my lower stomach, my foot and behind my ear. The worst was definitely my foot. I was nervous about my first tat because I heard it was a tender area. They started doing it and it didn't really hurt at all. The needle is huge, but very small when it is in the gun. No worries!!!

Q:i have 5 rugs and they are pretty grubby now, can i wash them in the washing machinegt;?

I have 2 skins/rugs I bought in New Zealand and I have washed several times. I used Woolite, Cool water, gentle cycle and low heat on dryer. I dried for about 20 minutes and then hung them over a line until dry. I then put back in dryer on air dry. Used a hair brush, lightly, to fluff up.

Q:which rooms are they in

a lot

Q:himy apartment already has carpet, but it looks kinda ratty, so i bought an area rug.....it keeps bunching up in the same spot though.....is there any adhesive i could buy that works on carpet?

There is several types and sizes of matts that you put under area rugs. These will help stop the rugs from scooching. But you must get the type for rugs over carpets. So know your rug size and get one that will fit. You can trim to size with scissors. You don t want an adhesive, it will ruin any carpet. Any questions you can e mail me through my avatar. GL

Q:What glue does the square carpet glue to the ground?

Double sided adhesive glue on the top slab carpet thorn.It is recommended that you do not glue it. Once the carpet doesn't work, it will be troublesome to clean the glue. The better thing is to use double glue to prick the top, so that it can be reused.

Q:what is the difference between steam cleaninig and deep cleaning? I don't think we have very dirty carpet but it was always suggested by our carpet cleaner (by the way - I hate how they always upsell their services). anyways - I want to have another carpet cleaning soon in the spring and would like to be more educated about this.Bottom line is - if 'steaming cleaning' does not clean... why bother having such service in the first place?

There are many ways to clean carpets. One is where they APPLY a dry cleaning agent on your carpet, agitate the chemical into the carpet fibers and then vacuum it up. I do not prefer this method. The one I prefer is Steam Cleaning. But be sure it is a truck mount - so that it has enough suction to remove all detergents. Don't rent the steam cleaners at the super markets - all they will do is ruin your carpets because they don't have enough power to clean and/or remove the cleaning chemicals. STEAM CLEAN - IT'S THE BEST!

Q:My carpet is 20' X 16' The price is PER SQUARE YARD The price is roughly $25 PER SQUARE YARD.... PLEASE help me! How much will it cost!

You have 35.6 square yards so take that times 25 and you end up with $890.00 for that much carpet. Don't forget the pad and installation fee, sometimes it is included sometimes it is not. How I got my answer is 20*16=320 sqft. There are 9 square feet in a square yard so you divide 320/9=35.55555555555556 any carpet seller will round this off to 35.6 square yards. take 35.6sqyd * $25 = $890.00 for that much carpet. To Rob S remind me never to buy carpet from you! to get the square feet of the room you multiply the length and width 20*16 = 320 sqft for the room. Now I know that carpet rolls come in 12 and 15 foot wide rolls, and that the carpet can be sold either way by the sqyd or sqft. Just because you do it one way does not mean it is the only way.

Q:How do I get the carpet joint?

No fixed laying method: carpet cutting into a whole piece of adhesive joint, direct spreading on the ground, with the ground around the corner to trim the bond. This approach is suitable for the ground often rolled up the carpet or not often, weight room. Fixed: the carpet will be cut and bonded, into a seam, and around the floor of the room to be fixed. By using two kinds of methods: one is the carpet around the surface and the ground paste with binder or double-sided tape; the other is a wooden card with our upward nail in the room installed in the surrounding ground, the carpet back in a nail on a small wooden card.

Q:what should we pay attention to when we buy the carpet?

it's mostly used in the living rooms of high class villa because it is anti-static and foaming. The pure woolen carpet feels soft. polypropylene fiber greatly reduces the cost of the carpet. In addition, antifouling, fiber rapidly kinks. it stands wear and tear and is easy to be corroded. when you purchase a carpet, you can easily identify the texture by observing the characteristics of the carpet. for example, if the carpet pulls well and is colorful and soft, then it is made of chinlon. now blended carpet is widely used in general home decoration because it is mothproof . Through the above method, polyester and other chemical fiber are not easy to age , and their ashes are the black lumps. the carpet made of them seaming the linen was affected greatly by temperature; nylon is flameless and does't fade , its visual sense is similar to wool; polypropylene shows yellow flame when it is burned ; acrylic fiber is high-grade floor decorative materials, it burns slowly and it is smokeless and anti-corrosion, so it suitable for the home entrance and sides of toilet bathtub. as for the weight of villi, you can choose one cantaining more villi, but the price is expensive; polyester fiber shows yellow and white when it is burned, it has as many patterns as pure woolen carpet. With fire prevention and antifouling characteristics, it becomes the leading product of the carpet in decoration of high class houses.

Q:what kind of carpet should be used when making a subwoofer box? what thickness is needed

Purchase subwoofer carpet, also known as box carpet. This material can be purchased from furniture stores or audio supply stores. Unravel the carpet with the carpet side down and the rubber side up. Place the subwoofer box on top of the rubber side of the carpet. Using a marker, trace out the edges of the box. Repeat with each side of the box. Use an X-Acto knife or scissors to cut out the traced patterns of the subwoofer on the carpet. Apply super glue liberally to the rubber side of the carpet. Affix the carpet to the corresponding side of the subwoofer box. Apply glue to the edges of the carpet piece. Wait for one piece to dry before attaching the next one. Use the hot glue gun to glue the edges of the carpet pieces together. Run the glue along all the edges of the box. This process will attach the pieces of carpet and also create a soft edge to the corners of the box. Use clear glue to maintain a clean look. Feel around the front of the box for the hole or holes in the subwoofer. Stab into the material with a knife or scissors. Cut out all excess material until the hole for the subwoofer shows completely. The edges do not need to be smooth. They will be covered by the subwoofer once it is installed. Look into the hole or holes on the front of the box. Locate the speaker wire port at the back of the box. Stab at that port with a knife or scissors. Cut out the material that covers that hole. Again this area will be covered by a connector port. The edges do not need to be perfect. Install subwoofers. The box is complete.
