Q:This must seem like a very random question, but does anybody have any red carpet trivia, e.g. procedures of laying it down, cost etc. Thanks.

The words, red carpet, may also be part of phrases such as the red carpet treatment and rolling out the red carpet, which refer to any special efforts made in the interests of hospitality. The 20th Century Limited passenger train may be the origin of this phrasing, as the New York Central Railroad used plush crimson carpets to direct people as they boarded.[1]

Q:I want to put a rug down in the middle of my living room that has laminate wood floor. I have a couple of larger dogs that tend to run aound on occasion. The current rug has a smooth back and slides when they skid to a stop on it. The replacements that I've looked at all have the jute back and I'm concerned that when they cause this type to slide across the floor, over time it will behave like sandpaper and scuff the floor. I know I can put a rubber anti slip pad on the back to prevent some of it, but won't it still eventually scuff the wood laminate over time around the edges?

It won't scratch laminate floors.

Q:I have a massive rug on my floor carpet. We have it because our carpet is maroon and carpet is brighter so during the day and night, the room doesn't look that dark. The problem i am facing is that my rug is sliding/moving (slowly) towards the way we walk. I have tried the Rug Tape that we stick under the rug to give it grip, that did not work.I am wondering what other solutions maybe. I will only Screw my rug to the carpet/floor if that is my only option. Every week, we have to move the swing (indoor), the heavy sofa, bird cage (we have pets) and other furniture to actually fix it and it takes a lot of time. I need multiple options if possible, but hopefully some of you may have had this and found a great solution for it. I am willing to spend money to get this problem Fixed. My option does not include getting rid of the rug.Thank you for helping.

There are very thin mats especialy made to stop rugs from running like yours is doing. Sold where ever flooring is sold. They feel tacky but will leave no residue . Placed under the rug they stop the rug from scooting or moving when walked on. Get the type mage for rugs over carpet because some are for rugs over hardwood and rugs over a solid surface. Know your rug size since they come in many sizes and can be cut to fit using scissors. They do loose the tacky feeling over time and you just wash them on a gentle cycle to revive that tackinesss. Any questions you can e mail me through my avatar. GL

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.

It shouldn't be harmful but it would be best if you talked to his vet about this and get some advice.

Q:I have a white fake fur rug! I also have 4 dogs that are not potty trained yet. I have many pee stains on my rug. I need a way to clean it that works (duh), is easy, and is fast! Please help i need it done by the 29th of August! HELP!

of path, you have 2 neutrals so the room is crying out for some shade. to maintain a neat seem, assessment with one shade and probably abit of those close to to it. purple.. + another, orange/purple/brown green + yellow/orange, etc etc.. including extra colors than this gets confusing because it could start to look messy, yet its as much as you.

Q:How can I get my carpet back to its normal color? I have a beige carpet and we mixed to much bleach to get the stains up so i have a couple of bleach spots..

Sorry the damage is done, you can cover it with throw rugs or do a carpet puzzle piece. By that I mean cut a piece of carpet from a closet, cut the stain out(same size and shape). Piece in the new piece. Be sure you have carpet tape and an iron. If your afraid to try this yourself a carpet company will do it for you. Won't even know anything has happened.

Q:My carpet needs a good cleaning, but I am afraid that by shampooing the carpet, the wetness will ruin my hardwood floors underneath..

Art, you need to check and see what is under the carpet. If she has shag, then it is really old, as this was popular in the 1960's-70's. If there are hardwood floors underneath, be prepared to rent a floor sander, as it will surely need to be refinished. She may want to stain the hardwood. Go to Home Depot or to Lowes for advice on this. If no kids, hardwood is better appearance than shag carpet, but is a matter of taste, too. Be sure that there are no squeeks in the floor, too. Good luck. Regards, Dan
