Q:My female pitbull decided to chew an ink pen to death and got ink all over my cream colored carpet. I took her to the vet and she's fine, but my carpet is not! I need to get this stain removed right away. I've already soaked the stains in Resolve and they are BIG STAINS! Very noticeable. Does anyone know if Stanley Steamer can remove ink stains from carpets? I would call to find out, but they are closed right now. If you don't know, leave a suggestion for ink stain removal from carpet (home remedies I could try).

Chances okorder ., to locate a carpet cleaner who can make after hours stain removal calls. The people at this web site are certified, insured, professionals. The longer you wait for a pro, the harder the stain is to remove. Good Luck

Q:I currently operate a rug store that sells almost all persian rugs in Santa Rosa California (in the San Fransisco bay area). Operation is rather stable but I have two issues.1. I sell high quality rugs and hence the prices are more expensive reflecting the quality. However, many customers can find designs similar to mine on the internet at 1/3 to 1/4 of the price. (internet is 600, mine are 3000). If you put the rugs side by side you can DEFINATELY tell the drastic difference in quality. How should I cope with this?2. I am hoping to think of an idea used to promote the sale of these rugs. Any sort of promotion would be great just to get people to start buying.I have money to spend on ideas. Thanks, All help is appreciated. Best Answer will be chosen promptly.

not to sound rude, but they have marketing and advertising companies that you can hire that can help you, since money is no object - ask the professionals, they're great. Also, check out Martha Stewart online for great tips

Q:How to do if there is a little piece of carpet broken?

It can be filled.

Q:I recently spilled some glue on my carpet and in the process of getting it out I caused the carpet to stretch some and bubble up slightly. My question is whether or no the apartment complex will make me replace the whole carpet or just pay for it to be patched? It's a four person apartment in a college community where everyone is on separate leases and there is a visible seam between the living room and the hall way so i doubt I would have to replace the carpet for the whole apartment but maybe the living room. Can they charge full price for carpet if it is roughly 3-4 years old and had stains on it when I moved in? My lease states carpet repair costs between 100-200 dollars but they reserve the right to charge more. The deposit was waved when I signed the lease. I live in Kentucky if that make a difference.

It is very difficult to 'patch a carpet'. The labor involved costs as much as does replacing the entire room of carpet. In a 'college community', they will likely only charge for replacing the affected room. Whether or not you are charged full replacement costs depends on your state laws and your lease contract.

Q:I have carpet with dog urine stains and the like. When I use cleaners my carpet is either stained darker or not affected. The even bigger problem is that my carpet is white. If you know how to remove stains from white carpet or have any tips on how to eliminate the odor, they'd be greatly appreciated.

To eliminate animal urine stains from carpet. Blot up urine, flush several times with lukewarm water, then apply a mixture of equal parts Heinz White Vinegar and cool water. Blot up, rinse, and let dry. To eliminate urine smells, all you need is Heinz White Vinegar. You can mix one part vinegar to one part water in a sixteen-ounce trigger spray bottle. Or use it full strength. Just saturate the spot on the carpet. It's going to smell like urine and vinegar for about three days, but once it dries, the vinegar will entirely deodorize the stain. You won't smell a thing.

Q:yes we are moving to newer house the people lived there before has made a mess of the carpet does anyone know how to get the smell from pets and red fruit juice and other cola drinks out of dark short shag carpet? HELP

Carpet is pretty cheap....$2-$3 per square foot installed but look for a carpet cleaner who is going is use only Hot Water! You need a restorative process. Make sure the carpet cleaner doesn't use soaps or surfactants - they cause the carpet to rapidly resoil...... Get it clean and get the stains out....if you elect to replace go to Loews or .Home Depot ...they have a carpet that uses a new technology called Puraesque.....it can be done, just make sure you get pros instead of a bunch of nerdowells!

Q:is carpet suitable for home decoration?

Imitation wood tile can use carpet, it is durable but has many bacteria: it is personal preferences, ceramic tile is the most realistic,carpet is not durable, I suggest not to use one for a large area : it is not easy to clean; 2, if there is smell, you can use solid wood flooring: If there is moisture, there will be mildew, etc., it is easy to clean, noble, not in line with the long-term living environment, or antique brick

Q:I need a 10' x 6' or 11' x 7' area rug. the rug will be underneath a table and chairs with wheels. lots of traffic in this area. what should I look for? what type of material? who is a good manufacturer of area rugs?what retailer sells good ones?

first of all, are you looking for an heirloom piece? Try oriental rugs or persian rugs. Very costly. Can set you back a couple grand but will increase in value over time. you need to look behind the rug for the quality. You are looking for handstitched and lots of detail, etc. The most important characteristic for me is durability and washability. Some you can put into the washer, others need special cleaners, some are spot clean only. The second characteristic important to me is texture. I like plush soft carpets that you can walk on with your bare feet. Of course, color choice and design are important. (floral? transitional? contemporary?) I like transitional. I'm a fan of Mohawk and Shaw area rugs. You can find them at Home Depot. Reasonable prices for machine made rugs.

Q:Is there a formula that you can tell how many feet are on a roll of Carpet without having to unroll and measure it?

1. assume d carpet is so tightly rolled dat it can b treated as a right circular cylinder 2. let the radius of this rolled carpet be R width W, then volume V = pi*R^2*W 3. measure thickness of carpet accurately, say = t then V = W*t*L 4 equating the two, W*t*L = pi*R^2*W or L = pi*R^2 / t u don't hv 2 measure d width, only R t [ actually, better 2 measure D use R = D/2 ] happy new year !!!
