Q:The other day I just found out that I had a hand-made rug that was made in Iran and bought by my grandparents about 10-15 years ago, the rug is about 6x8 and they paid around $2000 dollars for it.My question is what is the proper way to clean a rug that is hand-made? It has not been cleaned in years only vacuumed... and also is there a market place for these rugs? if I do decide I want to sell it.

I also have an old middle eastern rug and I only vacuum it. I understand that the best thing to do if it needs cleaning is to consult an antique rug dealer who might do the cleaning in house or be able to refer you. I have heard the usual rug cleaning services are not right for this type of work.

Q:I have google searched, froogle searched, ask searched, and everything in between with all different keywords. I am honestly convinced that NO ONE...including previous answerers... can grasp the fact that college students dont want to spend $50-$100 on a damn rug. I am looking for a very cheap plain neutral rug source (~$10 free shipping) online. After all...its a damn floor cover on a **** dorm floor...for what a year? Come on guys. How about some ample suggestions for a good website. best answer. If it's more than $15...dont waste your time.

just go into any rug store and ask them for a small remnant hanging around--the least expensive one there!

Q:My boyfriend and I moved into an apartment that has white carpets in both bedrooms. White very stained carpets...I've tried the 409 carpet stain remover on them, but it didn't seem to improve them at all. Does anyone have any recommendations for other products, or any quot;home-remediesquot; for ground in, old carpet stains?Any help is appreciated!Thanks!

Ammonia is good for carpet stains. Use it diluted with water (don't mix anything else in). Your best bet, though, is to rent or buy a steam cleaner. Use a solution and pretreat the stains. Then clean them very well with the cleaner.

Q:its dark brown hair dyeits dry nowits a bathroom carpet

Getting hair dye out of carpet is tough - and if you're to have much luck it's best if you can get at the stain immediately. Here's what to do: Step 1 Blot the stain immediately with a clean, white cloth. Step 2 Mix a solution of 1/4 tsp. liquid hand-dishwashing soap and 1 cup lukewarm water. Step 3 Blot stain with soap solution, using a clean, white cloth. Blot from the outside of the stain, working inward. Step 4 Let sit a few minutes. Step 5 Mix a solution of 1 part vinegar to 2 parts lukewarm water. Step 6 Dab stain with vinegar solution, again working from the outside in. Step 7 Once the stain has disappeared, flush the area with cold water and blot dry with a clean, white cloth.

Q:I have dried set in pet stains on my carpet (old and new) does any one know of any over the counter carpet cleaners i can get that does not have to be rubbed or scrubbed in? looking for something I can spray on let dry then vac I am unable to get down and scrub and rub

Not a carpet cleaner, but an enzyme neutralizer. Nature's Miracle or Simple Solution from the pet store. Squirt it on and just let it dry. Will not clean the carpet. It will eliminate the stain and any odor.
