Q:We got a wool area rug a month and a half ago. It sheds bunch. Is this normal? thanx

with wool rugs this is very common. When they make the rug lots of little pieces of loose wool get into the air and end up in the carpet itself. Its not a problem, vacuum lots, use a vacuum with a power head.

Q:I AM REPLACING CARPET IN MY HOME. ITS JUST MY WIFE AND ME. WE WANT GOOD CARPET, BUT I AM ALSO INTERESTED IN GETTING A GOOD VALUE. A BALANCE BETWEEN QUALITY AND PRICE. CAN SOMEONE HELP WITH GUIDELINES OR SUGGESTIONS ON CHOSING CARPET? THANK YOU

You generally get what you pay for of course. Look for wear and stain blocker warranties. Longer warranties is a better carpet. Don t buy the notion of the big brand stain blockers are better, They are all the same. You don t pay for the advertising dollars of the no name stain blocker. Thickness in carpet only counts in the amount of yarns per square inch . Thickness in tallness do not always make a better carpet. Its the twists per thread length that make the better carpet. The actual truth is the shorter, the tighter ( twists) the better the carpet.And if the twists are heat set in. Ask a salesperson about this. If they know or can look it up then talk more with them. If they baulk or don t know, you walk , they don t know carpet. Any questions you can e mail me through my avatar. GL

Q:I'm in a 5 piece band playing in about a 20x20 room. 2 walls aren't covered with boxes and the floor is linoleum. It's really loud in there and we need to dampen the room to a bearable level. We were thinking about getting 3 or 4 rugs for said 2 walls and floor. But then we started considering acoustic foam. I'm sure acoustic foam is more effective than rugs, but since we're on a really tight budget, is it really worth it to spend twice as much on foam? Or will rugs suffice? Side question, if we get rugs, could we just get 2 and put them on the floor since i'm certain the linoleum is the main culprit, or do the walls probably need it to?

well my band and i use the foam. it works pretty good. but the rug idea... im not sure if that will be dense enough

Depending on the type of rug you own, a professional cleaner will either come to your home or recommend in-plant cleaning. Typically, specialty (handmade) and oriental style rugs need to be cleaned by professional in-plant cleaning service.

Household paper napkin and toilet paper should use absorbent paper. in addition, prepare some water : 1 blankets; 2 absorbent paper and wax oil paper should have 4 or 6 layers; 3 put water into the mug. about a few seconds later, the wax melted and absorbed paper. three, to remind that if repeat the operation, the already sucking wax paper remember must be changed to the new wax paper to avoid polluting the carpet.

Q:carpet seems to be deteriorating and flying in air..manufacturerer says it is not from their carpet. By using wet sponge, I collect specimens from around edges of carpet that are the color of the carpet and look like wet cardboard.

Good heavens, that's strange. Did you buy this carpet yourself, or was it already there? Do you know what the material is? I have lived in five houses with wall-to-wall carpeting and have never, ever seen that. If you can't find out what the material is on the phone, then take a piece of it to Home Depot or a specialty carpeting store or someplace like that and get some help. If you have major problems with this, I would call your local television news station and get them interested in a faulty product story. This might pressure the carpeting manufacturer to pay some attention to your issue. One final note though: whoever owned the carpet before you might have applied some kind of product to the carpet which is causing its detioration. Good luck.

Q:I need to know if its okay to put a bleach mixture on a white bath rug. Would it mess up the fabric? (was a gift from my husband grandmother)

Try using liquid Tide with bleach alternative. You can apply the liquid directly to any spots. Wash and rinse in warm water. If the stains did not come out, then retreat and wash again. If the back of the rug is rubber then DO NOT dry it, over time it will come apart and shed everywhere! If the rug is 100% cotton then you can wash and dry it without any problems. If the rug is not looped, then I would only air dry it to keep the fabric intact and to keep it from shedding.

Q:What color carpet can make the house bright?

It is recommended to use neutral color, because glass and stainless steel are too cold white walls, but with warm colors and the ground with color, it seems uncoordinatedBeige is the most beautiful color, but not good care, gray is neutral, but it is partial cold, people will be uncomfortable in it..
