Q:A lineoleum that we had was ruined by rubber backed rugs, it turned yellow under the rugs and where the swiffer was used.

rubber backed rugs will ruin vinyl, they turn yellow or grayish colored and you can not get it out. I have ceramic tile in bathroom and rubber backed throw rugs, and they have been in use for three years and haven 't discolored yet. Swiffer won't hurt ceramic,

Q:the room is 13x10 (130 sq. ft) and the Shaw brand carpet I want is $2.99/sq ft. at Home Depot.How much would it cost total to buy carpet and have it installed?

The carpet and pad should run you about 30.77/sq yd (26.91 for carpet and 3.86 for padding) on a 12ft x 13ft piece (since carpet is sold in either 12 or 15 ft rolls) is $533.24. Install at 4.95/sq yd is 85.78, however minimum installation charge is $150.00, and you did miss out on the $99.00 install sale, ended 7/11/07. Total cost w/o tax is 685.24 for basic installation and basic padding.

Q:Be shampooed like other carpets or does it have to be cleaned another way? My wife thinks it has to be steam cleaned.

The old Oxy clean is what gave it a bad name. The stuff that is out now is fine for must carpets especially most berbers. 80% of Berber carpet on the market is made with Olefin fibers. These fibers cannot be destroyed with cleaning agents. Even bleach will not do anything to olefin. Beware though some berbers are an olefin nylon blend and I have seen a wool berber but those are rare. Assuming your berber fits into the 80% category you will need strong chemicals and degreasers to clean it. Olefin is a petroleum product and loves oil because it is a similar molecular structure. So you need something that can break that oily bond.

Q:The title says it all? What do i do?!

Hi, Nail polish remover, Paint Thinner, Alcohol, even White Petrol are some of the substances you may use to remove the nail paint. Advise : Do not scrub the spill , but remove it by dabbing the spill in a circular motion using a clean white cloth. Caution : The colors of the rug may bleed if the wool is cheaply dyed. Try it on a small portion before trying on the spill Disclaimer : You should probably hire a professional to get your rug cleaned, but if you want to DIY then do so at your OWN risk only. I am not responsible for any losses

Q:I cannot for the life of me find the rugs in sims 2. I've seen some other answers here that say things like quot;decorations, rugs, put it on the floor.quot; well obviously if I am having to ask, I'm not able to follow those instructions as easily as you. Call me retarded or what you want, but all I see under decorations is plants, sculptures, wall hangings, mirrors, and curtains. So if someone could give me a real answer instead of some sarcastic bs, that would be great. Thx.

There aren't any.

Q:We bought our house 2 months ago. We didn't mind the carpet. It is very nice carpet. However, the house was built in 1955 and has origional hardwood floors under the carpet. Here is the problem... it looks like there are hardwoods, a new sub floor and the carpet. My concern is that removing the sub floor will ruin the floors under. What has your expirance been?

After having just removed the carpeting in my house, I can tell you this: if they put a subfloor on top of hardwood, there was something wrong with the hardwood. It is not necessary in order to lay carpet. Padding and tack boards are all that are needed--which really don't ruin the hardwood. (You may want to fill a few nail holes from the tack strips.) Lots of houses have hardwood that is only finished around the edges--if you pull up the subfloor and find unfinished board flooring, that's one reason they laid the subfloor. Another reason might be that there was bad damage to the hardwood which made it uneven. A finished hardwood floor rarely needs subfloor for carpeting unless it is damaged or otherwise totally unusable as hardwood flooring. Since your house was built in 1955, it could have very badly damaged floors. There is only one way to check that--pull up the carpet in a corner, and the subfloor under that--and check. If the floors are not damaged, then the only damage will be from nail holes--which can be filled, sanded and revarnished.

Q:I have a long bit of carpet, like a rug i spose but its filthy and i want to put in in my room.. do u think its safe to just throw it in the washing machine to clean??

It depends on the type of rug - if it has a rubber baking like a bathroom rug yes just don't put if in the dryer. If you're talking Carpet like a remnant no don't put it in the washer but you can hand wash it the bathtub with whatever soap - dishsoap or laundry detergent/ I'd so no to an oriental rug too. Those oval braided kind are machine washable in cold water and no dryer too. If you're really concerned just hand wash in the bathtub in cold water or luke warm but not hot water.
