Q:My wife and I have a 5' X 7' area rug which we want to dye brown. It's a deep pile wool rug and the fibers are dense. How does one go about this? We would have it done professionally but there are no skilled people where we live. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

We hired a company that specializes in dyeing rugs. They have all the equipment needs and know the correct dyes to use.

Q:alright so I have an image I would like to make into a hook rug but I can't just do it myself by looking at the photo, I need the image printed onto the hook rug base, is there anyway to have that done? can I copy the image onto the hook rug base?

Yes, certainly. Almost every one that hooks a rug draws the design on the backing material. That is the first step. The lazy way is to buy a backing with the design already on it. The above answer gives you a good method on how to transfer a design to your own backing. Or you can simply draw your own right on the backing to your own preferences. Once you do that, you will never go back to commercially prepared kits -- you'll be selling your own on esty!

Q:I recently moved and purchased the sofas in the picture and I want to find the same rug or a similar rug to the one in the picture. Thank you so much in advance.

Happy hunting and I hope that you find what you are looking for to make your room perfect!

Q:I had a bad stain on my carpet that nothing would remove. So I tried peroxide on it, and it took it out. So I was wondering if peroxide, baking soda, and things of that nature can be used in carpet cleaning machines?

Peroxide is useful in some situations. Also, it depends upon the quality of stuff used for carpet. If it is of good quality then the color of carpet will not damage but if it's quality is poor then you may face a more big stain of color damage. So be careful!

Q:Im replacing a carpet afrer one and a half year use.can i use the same padding under the existing carpet?

You may be able to but it will depend on exactly what type of pad it is. Check 1 st with the place your buying the carpet from. There is a good possibility that there is no carpet warranty if pad isn t replaced. It will depend on what you have down now. If this is a rebond pad of 6# or more you should be able to use it. If its a cheap foam pad , I can bet you won t get a warranty and really shouldn t use it. Any questions you can e mail me through my avatar. GL

Q:Because carpet is soft...

The carpet may be soft, but your chin is a very sensitive part of your body. It never comes in contact with anything - unlike your hands - and it never builds up callous or protective tissue. It is also home to a lot of receptors - so when you rub your chin against the carpet, you are giving it a friction burn and that hurts. Not sure why you might want to rub your chin against the carpet in the first place, but that's why it hurts.

If it is wool, be sure to get to the dry cleaners.

Q:I have a shag rug in my room. It's right infront of my mirror where I brush my hair, so now there is always hair caught in the shags of the rug. Also, dog hair gets caught in it from my dog. Vacumming doesn't get the hair out.How do you clean a shag rug? I need to get the hair out of it!Help!

I suggest...brushing it/raking it. Sounds weird but back in the 70's when shag rug was in, raking was introduced to the carpets. If you rake it, it combs the direction of the carpet, but also pulls materials in from deep within the carpet. If this doesn't work...try a lint brush with teeth. Not a roller that picks up sticky stuff.

Q:The rug with the rubber backing. If no, why not? I have been told not too but someone said it is no big deal.

Yes you can. You may put some more kitchen rug also. Reason, Font loading machines has to distribute the load in spin. If not it will damage the Machine due to un balance. Rubber backing is not the problem. Generally there will be 3 ribs in the drum. The washing is happened when the cloth falls on the rib while on rotation. and in spin the weight is to be distributed in the space between the ribs.
