Q:I would like to give braided rugs as gifts to some elderly people that just can't afford much of anything. I've seen them at garage sales but have never made one. I am hoping some1 here knows or has made some. Thanks yes I do give best answers a comment for all your help.

Are you determined that they must be *braided*? Similar can be crocheted from cloth strips. With braided rugs, the tedium of final stitching can be a roadblock to completion. In either case, the rugs may be rectangular rather than round or oval. The short edges/ends will have a fringe. With braided, the lengths are sewn together with carpet thread, often looping invisibly *between* strands rather than forcing the needle *through* strands. With crocheted, only the fringed ends will need to be stabilized.

Q:What is the best way of cleaning the fixed carpet?

use vacuum cleaner to clean up.

Q:I am renting this house and the carpet smells. I don't know why...it's not dog or cat urine or anything like that. Do the synthetic fibers the carpet are made out of or the cushion under the carpet cause this odor...it really builds up if you are out of the house for a day or two...and what can one do to fix this...shampooing didn't work

you should of shampoo the carpet with vinager that would of took the smell away vinager takes away odors of every kind.i guess you can get a spray bottle and mix half vinager half water and spray the carpet and let dry you might have to do it a couple if times but i bet you get the odor to be gone 85 percent unless you still have the shampoo carpet cleaner that would work alot better if you used that just add vinager instead of the cleaner.

Q:im redecortaing my room and i want a rug....except rugs are expensive!!!!!!!!I FounD SOMe RUGS THAT ARE LIKE 30$ BUT THEY ARE WICKED SMALL!are thee any cheap ways to make rugs?

How about a rag rug. If you have or can get a lot of old cloth, cut it in even strips and make a long, continuous braid, making sure the ends of each strip are tucked into the back side of the braid. You can then lay the braid in a tight coil and stitch it together into a round or oval rug. The different colors of cloth make an interesting pattern. This is a brief explanation, but I'm sure you can find full directions on making rag or braided rugs online.

Q:I'm thinking a dark purpley magenta... or perhaps a shaggy brown rug might suit. Ideas?

Burnt orange.

Q:How to remove the oil from the carpet is the best?

Static carpet scorch if accidentally carpet will be burned, we can repair method to eliminate the scorched office as far as possible with a stiff brush off, then can be cut with scissors in other parts of the carpet pile, and adhesive and stick it in the scorched, use the equivalent of books with flat things heavy pressure on it. The adhesive is dried, glue hair firmly, finally with the brush gently comb can be.

Q:i get all these fuzz fluffs coming off my wool rug. will it eventually disintegrate into nothing?

Depends what those fluffs are....... uld be natural fluff on the wool, could be broken fibers..............and that's not good. If broken fibers, could be moth damage or other insects living in the wool. Vacuum daily. Have the rug cleaned especially it has had food, animal products, or a lot of foot traffic across it.

Q:Its been about 24 hours since we cleaned the carpet ourselves with a rented machine but the carpet is still wet in places. Should we give it more time? Its cool in the basement, but hot and humid outside. I'm guessing opening windows is not a good idea?

This is bad news. You are going to get mold. I just learned about this the hard way. Get a fan or blower to speed up the drying. Have a pro check the pad for mold.

Q:I am getting carpet installed tomorrow (Monday). I had bent it to get it upstairs. I kept it bent for about 1 week. There is some wrinkles now near the middle. Will this stretch out when he installs the carpet in the room???
