Q:My cat has torn up a couple of sections of the carpet in my apartment. I went to Lowe's hardware and they have the carpet I need in stock. However, I keep getting the runaround about what I need and what I need to know to get what I need. I was told that I need to find out how my carpets are installed. I don't want to ask the apartment people because they will charge me a ridiculous amount of money to fix the situation. I have Shag carpeting in my apartment. I do not know how it's laid onto the floor. Is there a way that I can find that out? Also, is there anything else that I need to know? I haven't found any help regarding this except getting the runaround. Please help a girl out! :)

you can call a carpet place to send a guy out. they have to cut out the section, then sew the carpet together or use tape. good luck buddy

Q:This might be a stupid question. But I'm about to buy carpet and I need to know how many sq. feet I need. I need to get a 16x20 piece of carpet and the prices go per sq. footage. so, How much sq.footage is 16x20? thanks.

You need 320 s/f butttttttt..... Carpet comes mainly in 12 and 15 foot wide so depending on how you room is laid out with its walking patterns etc is how its laid and seamed. Generaly a seam will be on the furthest wall away from all traffic. Again if your carpet comes 15 foot ( some do some only comes 12 foot wide) you ll you ll need extra carpet for a seam . You ll be scraping out some so you ll have to get more than 320 s/f GL

Q:Is there a way to bleach my carpet?Not to get a stain out or anything.But my carpet is a bache color, and I would like to make it white.Would putting bleach on it make it brighter?

Q:How do carpets quickly remove formaldehyde?

If the formaldehyde exceeded the standard, it is the carpet lining material.The backing material of the carpet is made of adhesive of styrene butadiene rubber, natural latex and other water soluble rubber as adhesive, and the pollution of synthetic adhesive to the surrounding air is serious. Formaldehyde and benzene may cause excessive standards.

Q:Besides vacuuming, how do you maintain white carpeting? Personally I have found that using a storebought steamer makes my carpets look dingier. A person I knew at one time told me about a dry cleaning method using some kind of powder. She told me she rented the equipment and it only cost about thirty dollars. I've researched this and don't have any idea where to go. Links to more info. would be helpful.

Kirby vacuum with shampooer kit, works miracles on my white carpet.

Q:okay, so i moved to college and back home my parents smoke and the 6'x10' rug i took to school smells of cigarettes. How can i get rig of that smell, any suggestions or advice. thanks.

Lots of baking soda! Sprinkle the rug with baking soda and leave it on there overnight, then vacuum. You might need to repeat this. If this doesn't work, the carpet is probably a loss. You can also set out small bowls of vinegar around the room to absorb the smells of smoke. You might want to add some vanilla or essential oils to the bowls to make it smell better though.

Q:They always say quot;Oh she went to a red carpet event,quot; or they got her picture at quot;the red carpet?quot; I don't get it! Is it just a RED CARPET that they walk on? What's the purpose? I know this question is stupid... but I'd REALLY like to know. It's killing me. :(

Red Carpet really signifies that a celebrity attended a big event in the entertainment industry - Academy Award, SAG Award, CMA etc. They are not just walking down the street etc. At these events, there is usually a red carpet because the event is supposed to be glamorous and all the celebrities come out with their full attire. It could be a really formal event such as the Academy Awards or slightly less formal such as the MTV Movie Awards (although red carpet is usually associated with the more formal)

Q:I need to know a safe and easy way to get some stains (juice) from my carpeting

maximum crimson wine stains are bumped off by skill of pouring white wine over the stain, as quickly as this has been carried out , you blot with kitchen roll. you are able to attempt , yet often this might desire to be carried out on the spot whilst it happens. So i will recommend you upload a small quantity of chilly water to the stain, upload salt. such as you do with blood stains. The crimson wine might desire to lift onto the salt , rinse with sparkling water
