Q:I have not always found snug bugs in my rugs......so I am taking a poll here today to see if this saying could have some real validity to it. Do YOUR rugs have snug bugs? If so, how many snug bugs can you count in your rugs? And lastly, why on earth do we tolerate snug bugs in our rugs? What think you?

SNUG AS A BUG IN A RUG - Safe; comfortable.'The Stratford Jubilee,' a play of 1769, carries this line: 'If she (a rich widow) has the mopus's, I'll have her as snug as a bug in a rug.' Mopus is a lost word meaning money. From The Dictionary of Cliches by James Rogers (Ballantine Books, New York, 1985).

Q:I live on the North Shore in Massachusetts.I am looking for somewhere that would have classes on how to make braided rugs.Can anyone out there point me in the right direction? Thanks!

It seems like braided rugs are pretty intuitive -- just braid and sew, and use your imagination. If you are afraid of goofing up, you could try doing coasters or placemats first. I don't think you need a class, but sometimes it's nice to do it with other people.

Q:i live in a house on a college campus, and after all the parties and everything, the floors tend to get dirty. my white shag area rug is right by my door, so a lot of dirt has been tracked onto it and it's starting to look gray and isn't fluffy anymore. i love my rug, is there any way to save it?

I'm sure the rug is machine washable. Try washing it in the machine on the Warm setting (not hot) using regular detergent and OxiClean. (Before cleaning shake the rug outside to remove any loose dirt.) If the rug does not have a rubber backing, you can machine dry it. If it does have a rubber backing, let it air dry. If you air dry the rug, you might need to fluff it afterward with a clean hair brush.

Q:I was just wondering instead of buying a brand new rug I may just get the one he has now repaired. However like I said in the other question the neck slips down and as he is clipped it's not good...this is how it looks..

He is such a cutie! - i dont think a lycra hood would stop the rug slipping like that. but it would provide some protection for his neck and stop the other rug rubbing away any fur in the places it doesnt fit properly. - if you are going to get it repaired, you could also get it altered so that it is smaller. or if you can, you could just put more holes in it so that it will fasten tighter if you know what i mean. you can do that with a hot piece of metal like a screwdriver. the eat will also seal the hole so that the edges dont fray. - if you get a new rug you will probably have the same issue with the neck part not fitting right because the body part looks fine. - also, you could just get a lycra hood and fold the current hood part back so it is out of the way

Q:I would like help buying an area rug for the master bedroom. What kind of material, thread count, under rug mats? I need to know every thing. I have been looking on OKorder and see a lot of rugs that look nice for under $100. Are these rugs to good to be true? Are they really just junk or can a $100 6x8 area rug really be of good quality?

Best to shop at a retailer rather then buying one site unseen.. Visit a merchant that only sells area rugs who will explain the pros and cons . You might be able to custom make and choose your own color and design to suit your project ,,after all youre not just making a home accessory purchase...youre making a statement .

Q:What are the main differences between Persian and Oriental rugs (other than where they come from, obviously), and which is generally considered to be superior?

A Persian rug is from Iran. An Oriental rug can be from anywhere in Asia. The Persian rugs have the best quality and command the best prices. I would compare a Persian rug to a Cuban Cigar. However, as with cigars the other countries products are catching up fast.
