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?

When using your carpets on the ground, use rug pillows. There is no query that a rug pad extends the life of your rug. In most situations, the best is nasty froth that will not move shade to the rug or to the ground and will provide good use security. Do not use a rubberized, jute or waffle pad. An asian rug or a handmade rug is best to use on the hardwood flooring.

Q:Not huge but not small an appropriately sized den rug from an old furniture store like the dump.

It depends on what you consider big. The most common shapes are rectangle rugs that range from 4x6 feet on the smaller side to 12x20 feet on the larger side. From what I gather, you must be looking for a rug somewhere in the range of 8x10 feet to 12x20. These go for at least an average of $15,000 - $30,000 for a high quality rug. I attached a reference link to a rug search inventory set to rugs that can be bought in the 12x20 size category.

Q:I have an area rug that my poodle urinates on when she's mad at me. Long story short she did it again while I was out and I didn't find it until it was dry and smelling up my apartment. Does anyone have tips on how to clean the rug myself without renting a shampooer and maybe how to deodorize the rug. I've tried fabreese and the baking soda stuff you leave on the carpet and vacuum up later. they didn't seem to work before so If anyone has anything else to suggest I'd be most grateful.Thanks

Baking soda is a good one which you've already used. Mix baking soda and ammonia together and hot water. Put a few heavy towels or something absorbent under where your poodle urinates and just pour the solution onto the urine places and allow it to sit on those spots a good while to soak through it. Pull the heavy towels you had under it and put them into your washing machine. Grab more dry towels and put them under the spots again. Now pour white vinegar and hot water over the same spots and allow that to soak through again. Grab those towels and wash them too. It should have cleaned the area rug as much as possible this way. A lot of work but worth saving your area rug and getting the oder out. I bought a small green spot bot steam cleaner and use it on spots and the suction for pulling out solution works great for these jobs. You might have a lot of use for one these machines around your apartment. Best of Luck to you.

Q:Does anyone know where I can find a large area rug, mostly black with gold detail? I was looking at oriental rugs, but I'm not particularly fond of any of the ones I've found so far. If it was up to me it would be mostly black with some kind of golden chinese dragon in the corner, or just be asian themed. Any ideas!?! Please!

I am not sure whether one such rug may be readily available in the market or not. But you can easily custom order one with any of your local rug store. You can chose the colors, specify the size, and get the design made exactly as per your choice. You may also custom order one directly from rug making countries like India, Iran, Pakistan. This way you will get it way cheaper.

Q:I need a 10' x 6' or 11' x 7' area rug. the rug will be underneath a table and chairs with wheels. lots of traffic in this area. what should I look for? what type of material? who is a good manufacturer of area rugs?what retailer sells good ones?

first of all, are you looking for an heirloom piece? Try oriental rugs or persian rugs. Very costly. Can set you back a couple grand but will increase in value over time. you need to look behind the rug for the quality. You are looking for handstitched and lots of detail, etc. The most important characteristic for me is durability and washability. Some you can put into the washer, others need special cleaners, some are spot clean only. The second characteristic important to me is texture. I like plush soft carpets that you can walk on with your bare feet. Of course, color choice and design are important. (floral? transitional? contemporary?) I like transitional. I'm a fan of Mohawk and Shaw area rugs. You can find them at Home Depot. Reasonable prices for machine made rugs.

Q:There are several chenille carpet material. Which is the best choice for the bedroom?

Not easy to drop hair, decorative effect is very good! And quality is reliable also, wash repeatedly, won't become deformed, change color!

Q:The carpet in my living room is looking worn out due to heavy traffic. If I get it professionally cleaned, will it help make the carpet look newer?

It would look somewhat newer but it will still probably look worn down. sorry):

Q:Would a chestnut suit this rug?

Of course like others have said, any color initially will be fine, aslong as it does the job but if you are looking to make a chesnut stand out. I find purple to be a good color and also green, but make sure you get the right colored green. a medium/dark green , really bright or really dark does not look as good.
