Q:The carpet in my bedroom is matted down where I walk constantly [like the doorway area]. Is there anything I can do to make the fibers nice again? Standing straight up like they new again?

i had a carpet rake at one time. it looks just like a leaf rake. vacuum really good and then use a leaf rake on it. it should look better but it is worn and will never look new again. how about a rug to cover it? good luck.

Q:Hi everyone. I have a problem with my carpets. I recently bought a very nice, thin carpet. It is very detailed, thus it doesn't stay quot;flatquot;. It likes to move around and bulge. I have placed this carpet on another thick carpet. Now I need ideas to keep or stick my thin carpet on top of the thick one without damaging both of them. I dont want to glue or nail stuff done. Something quick and simple. Thanks everyone.

Herrman is the only one to get it right so far.. This are special and very thin mats that allow a rug over carpet ( or carpet over carpet). But you must get one just for this because it also comes for rugs over hard wood and rugs over a hard surface.Do NOT get the shelf liner material type this won t work properly. They come as a netting type material or a felt looking material. They grip and protect the rug from sliding and bunching up..They will collect dirt and dust naturally and all you have to do is toss in the washer on a gentle cycle and the tackiness comes back. This tackiness leaves no residue and will not harm the bottom carpet. Any questions you can e mail me through my avatar. GL

Q:Do I rent a carpet cleaner or use resolve carpet cleaner poweder? Its for a large living room - really needing to save money

I was cleaning with a can of carpet cleaner. It did not work very well. Go rent the steam Cleaner. You will be glad that you did it. I got a green machine for my carpets. I do them whenever I want. I do a room at a time. My carpets are so clean now. I am not only one that does this trick. A lot of people uses these green machines for that, cleaning room size carpets. It takes about 1/2 hour or so. You get your exercise and clean carpets.

Q:I got a puppy and a kitten at basically the same time, so needless to say, the carpets need to be deorderized so they will not be tempted to keep peeing on them again.I heard you needed to basically douse it in Natures Miracle, let that dry and then sprinkle baking soda on it for 2 days then vacuum up. But when i sprayed it down the carpet got ripply and did not dry flat for some reason... it seems like it is ruined!What do i do now with this carpet? is there a way to make it flat again? and how do i deodorize the rest of them in the house?Please help

At your vet they sell a bunch of stuff to get the smell and stain out.

A carpet pad is usually put under a carpet to make it softer, to absorb sound, and to act as additional insulation between the tile floor and the room.

Q:I'm on a tight budget, so I can't afford an area rug. But I'd like one in a half-moon shape with my bed on top. Would there be any problems making a sort of decorative-rug out of fabric from someplace like Jo-annes? Just sew and go, right?And if there's not some glaring oversight I'm missing in that idea, what sort of fabric? Upholstery? Outdoors? Quilting?

I've seen rugs quilts made from strips of material I think they are gorgeous totally different than everything else that's on the market today! Someone has used a bit of initiative thought of a different item to decorate the home. Before I got married my intended wife were on a tight budget between us we made a woollen rug from wool - It was a dusty job for a sensitive nose, but got there in the end it adorned our home for many years it was my pride joy for making it I'm a bloke! If you can make a fabric rug in much the same manner as i did looping the fabric within itself, as I did with the wool, you will be able to make a lovely rug I'm sure! Cheers!

Q:ok so i'm entering a competition to win a horse rug and am not sure how the sizing works. as a rough guide only, i need to know what size rug goes on what size horse (e.g. 15hh horse needs size _' _quot;). thanks :)

Measure from the horses centre of chest to his tail and that will be the length of the rug. It does not make much difference height wise because some horses will have longer or shorter backs.

Q:I am about to buy a house but want to install new carpet just wonderin on average how much it costs

Carpet / pad and labor will start out at 2$ a s/f and go up from there depending on the quality of the pad and carpet. At this price it will get you just a low quality carpet w/o warranties and a cheap pad. Check padding out , get a minimum of 5 1/2 # . This will cover your carpet warranties. When you get to the 3$ a s/f then you ll be getting into the carpets with a 5 and 7 years warranties.And these are more of themid range carpets. Watch the warranties, some will offer only stain blockers.Get the anti mat, anti crush protection. Wear warranties are different than the anti mat , anti crush, so watch that. GL

Q:what to do if the carpet smells like beer?

Have you ever had the experience of spilling the beer on the carpet? and if you have done that, then it is probably the residue caused by the delayed cleaning up. If there is no such experience, then it may be the material that is not promptly cleaned up or the bad glue.
