Q:so funny story haha. i was at softball practice last night at an indoor facility. The ground is made of an astroturf- carpet type material. the drill was to practice sliding on a piece of cardboard. i however slid a bit too early and skinned my thigh on the carpet/astroturf stuff.Now i have a giant burn thing about the size of my fist on my right thigh. It oozes constantly (which is extremely gross!) Last night i slept with it uncovered hoping it would dry up a bit, but it didn't. i taped a piece of medical gauze over it today for school, but it oozed right through! Also, when i went to take it off, the gauze was stuck right to it, and i had to yank it off hard, and it hurt soooo badd. i really don't want to have to do it again! Can someone please tell me how to make the pain go away (it burns!), make it dry up, and stop oozing? I've skinned myself before, but this is the worst one i've ever had.

Apply Cold Water to the Rug Burn You can treat a rug burn the same way you'd treat other first degree burns. The first step to treating a rug burn is to hold the injured area under cool, running water for about ten or even twenty minutes. Do not place ice directly on a rug burn. This could actually cause more damage to the injured area. Keep the Rug Burn Dry After removing the injured area from the water, gently but thoroughly dry the area with something soft and gentle, like a cotton ball. You want to keep a rug burn dry at all times. So, after baths and showers, give make sure the rug burn is thoroughly dry. Clothes Can Irritate a Rug Burn When fabric rubs against a rug burn, it can cause pain an irritation. It can also slow down the healing process, something you definitely don't want. So, if possible, try to wear clothes that won't rub against a rug burn. For example, if the rug burn is on your leg, wear skirts or shorts whenever possible. If the rug burn is on your arm, wear short sleeved shirts instead of long sleeved shirts. Making minor changes in the way you dress while your rug burn heals can make a world of difference. What Not to Put on a Rug Burn There are some things you definitely don't want to put on a rug burn, because they'd cause more harm than good. Some things you should avoid putting on the area are butter, lotions, powders (like baby powder), perfumes, sunscreen, alcohol, and baby oil. All of these things could cause irritation, and make the rug burn worse, and make it take longer to heal.

Q:What color of the carpet looks good with white tile, red sofa and black tea table?

According to what you say. The walls and the ground are slight color system, creamy white is main color, so it is a little standing out here. there is a certain color contrast and relatively strong comparability, and it is right. you should highlight it because its propotion and area are bigger. the problem now is your lucency table through which you can seen the beige, that makes it look cheap. besides, the lucency table and grey sofa don't look like a whole. so the two functions of your carpet are: make the room look like a whole and show the high grade of your tea table. 1 is to make the sofa

Q:Well I have a four year old cat and all of the sudden he just started peeing on this one rug. I've cleaned it but he continues! What do I do?

Just try cleaning the rug again in the washer and then vacuum it when it's dried. Clean up the floor around and beneath the rug. Clean up your cat in the tub with soap. If this doesn't help take your cat to the vet and ask if something is wrong. Also, if you're cats' not neutered, get that done!

Q:For all carpet experts....I accidentally spilled bleach on a small section of carpet in my apartment. I cut out the affected area and tried to patch it with a piece from the closet but the colors dont match. How does the carpet dying process work? I called several places and they suggested I do it myself since they no longer do that sort of work.

Do you have a steam cleaner? If you do, fill the steam cleaner with water bleach steam clean the whole carpet. That should even it out. I'm interested to hear what other answers you get cause I had a friend spill red wine on my off white carpets that was what I was told to do. Good luck!

Q:i have just rented a house and started to clean the rugs now smell a strong urine oder, can anyone tell me how to get rid of this fast.i tried boarax, backingsoda, vinager , peroxide, and nothing seems to help. i will give 30 points to someone if they help me remove this smell.

toss them, but let the owner know first. if it's in the rugs, it's probably in the carpet padding, too. request that they are replaced.

Q:Is there any type throw rug that will not slide on a nylon rug?

Very few rugs are made with a non-skid backing. But a pad to put under the rug is very common, and should solve your problem. Any place you buy a new rug should also be able to sell you a pad to go under it. Just make sure it's a rubbery pad and not just the foam cushion that goes under wall-to-wall carpet.

Q:Is it possible to make a shag rug for a bedroom out of that faux fur you see in fabric stores? If so, whats the best way to go about it? I was just going to get a yard or so and put some no-slip mat under it but maybe there are better ideas? Is there any reason this is a bad idea? Let me know.Thanks!

His skin is irritated and itches, and the only way a dog can scratch is by using their teeth. There are many reasons that the skin can be irritated, so take him into the vet and have them look at it. Without a vet looking at it, there is no real way to know what the cause of the problem is.

Q:As you can see from the lower half of the picture its slightly yellow. There are afew yellows spots(3-4 1'x1') through out the rug. How would I go about cleaning/reversing the effects?THANKS!

That depends on what the stains are from. If they are from food, some oxygen type cleaners can lighten them, If they are from bleeding of the dyes in the rug colors (which can happen with some inexpensive wool oriental type carpets), there is not much you can do. If it is pet stains, a good professional cleaning company can often remove them. I have owned a lot of oriental carpets and I highly recommend finding a professional cleaner who specializes in cleaning them. It usually costs about $100 to have an 8 x 11 carpet cleaned, but they can make them look (and smell) like new. I don t think you should try to clean the rug with any water based cleaners or shampooing. Some one I know had a rug very much like yours and when they tried to damp shampoo it all of the red color bled into the white areas and ruined it.

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

Black, green, violet and orange are all good, nut the whole room style and tone should be considered. But for the coordination of the whole style . yellow floor matches well with white, blue and many other colors if the color blending is the only consideration.
