Q:I have carpet in the living room, it's not a big room, average size. I have a BISSELL steam cleaner, the one with the bristles, and I can empty the tank 5 times and keep going over the room and it still comes up dirty (the water) Is this normal? It's not possible to clean it until the water comes up clean is it? This carpet is probably old, we moved in a year ago so I am not sure how old it is.

Clean the best you can.. You d be absolutely shocked at the amount of dirt is under the carpet and pad even in the cleanest of houses.. I ve pulled up many carpet and the home owners are appalled at the amount of dirt that is under there. GL

Q:We are doing a production of Anything Goes, and the script calls for a chair rug. I've done a little bit of research, and it seems to be a thick towel that you would put underneath you to protect from bugs and the slats of the chair. Can anyone give me a little bit more to go on, or better yet, tell me where I can find one?

The only thing I know about a chair rug is from years and years ago when I was a small kid. My grandfather got a small thin rug to place under his rocker on the wooden floors....it kept it from squeaking when he rocked. Not sure that is the same thing...but we called it his chair rug.

Q:i have 5 rugs and they are pretty grubby now, can i wash them in the washing machinegt;?

I have 2 skins/rugs I bought in New Zealand and I have washed several times. I used Woolite, Cool water, gentle cycle and low heat on dryer. I dried for about 20 minutes and then hung them over a line until dry. I then put back in dryer on air dry. Used a hair brush, lightly, to fluff up.

Q:Right now, I have wood flooring in my house built in the 1930s. Is there a chance that there could be carpet under the original hardwood flooring?

It would be extremely unlikely that carpet would be underneath hardwood. Quite often you will find the opposite: hardwood flooring is often found underneath carpet. Hardwood flooring requires fastening to a very solid surface, which carpet does not provide. You should go to a floor heat register in a room in question, and take the vent cover off of the register. You will find a perfect dissection of the flooring layers, with the subfloor at the very bottom. What you find in between that and the hardwood will answer your question. Hope that helps!

Q:I have the area rugs on the top of carpet. and sofa was on it. now the sofa is moved and rug is wrinkled badly. how to unwrikle it? I placed heavy books on the wrinkles, still they are not smooth and I trip over them. thanks in advance.

If you spray the carpet LIGHTLY with a mist of water and then place a plastic garbage bag over the wet and wrinkled area and weigh it down over night, that should press out any wrinkles in the rug. Just be absolutely sure to remove the plastic bag over the carpet in the morning as you do not want to cause any sort of moisture problem as you need to leave the rug there, flat, to dry. If that does not work, you may need to use steam. Put your iron on the lowest temperature setting that will still allow steam. Fill the water reservoir and allow the water to heat up. Then, place the iron an inch or two over the rug and press the burst of steam button on the iron to release the wrinkles in the rug but do NOT iron the rug or allow the iron to touch the rug. Allow the rug to completely dry. Either one of these two methods can be used as I have tried both, successfully. I do not know which will work for your carpet because I am unaware of the fabric content of your rug.

Q:What about carpet shedding?

Keep the carpet dry. Therefore, carpets should be aired regularly. Sun in the sun, this also can avoid wool carpet fading problems.

Q:Where can I rent a carpet cleaner???

depending on how super your place is, it could take some million/2 an afternoon to steam clean wall to wall carpeting. maximum agencies would be waiting to paintings around furniture, yet of course it is extra useful in case you are able to pass as plenty furniture as conceivable so as that the cleaners can clean as plenty carpet as conceivable. you would be wanting to open up your residing house windows after the carpet cleansing has been finished to air out your rooms (and with this warmth, to quicken up the drying time). in case you're talking approximately cleansing handcrafted rugs, then cleansing is accomplished off internet site and you frequently would desire to attend 2-3 weeks for the expert cleaners to return your carpet.
