Q:Okay so yesterday i mixed dawn soap and water together and scrubbed the spots on my floor to get these crusty spots that were left on my carpet from the carpet cleaner. the crusty spots went away but in their place small spots (smaller than the crusty resdue from before.) were left over and they were now sticky! I than tried washing off those spots with anti bacterial wipes which didn't do anythign, i vaccumed my floor twice and today i used a combination of baking soda and vingar to get it ou of my floor. Now i have merely one or two small spots but im aware carpet cleaner is rather toxic and hazardous and so I wanted to ask if it's truly carpet cleaner resdue stuck to my floor or if it's simply the dawn soap that won't come out. Please help for I am rather worried.

Dawn soap is likely the culprit if it's sticky. Dish soap, especially dawn, has heavy sudsing agents in it. If you have an extractor carpet machine, go over it several times with plain water, and it should come out. Don't add any more chemicals to it. You are just adding to the problem. Depending on how strong the soap solution was, you got work ahead of you if you don't have the carpet extractor.

Q:Something that really ties the room together.

Depending on what your budget is, HOM furniture has some really great rugs that are higher quality, or IKEA also has some good stuff that's just more casual, and some fairly good fancy/oriental rugs too.

Q:is there anything people can suggest to get an odour out of an area rug... it says specifially that I can't shampoo it so thats out.I can try febreeze but that always seems to just mask the odour it doesn't actually get rid of it.I think the odour itself stems from our vacuum, it needs replacing but until then I need to figure out a work around for this smelly rug as my infant usually has his play blanket ontop of it and has tummy time on there so I really don't want it to smell anymore.1. Can't shampoo2. Febreeze only masksAny suggestions please!!

50-50....vinegar and water..add baking soda...spray all over the rug..let dry..vacuum and do again......but don't vacuum..sprinkle baking soda on it and let it sit a day..then vacuum WORKS GREAT ON ANY ODOR!!

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.

there is double-stick tape made just for that; Home Depot, Lowes, builders Square, etc.

Q:We have been working out on the carpet in our basement for 6-7 months in the same spot. Now the carpet is rock hard from us working out on it. Is the carpet / padding ruined? Is there something we can do so the carpet doesn't' t get ruined?

You more than likely have crushed the fibers on the carpet. Depending on the type of carpet you may or may not get them to fluff or come back up. The padding also depends on the quality.A decent pad will come back but I m willing to bet it won t and you ve crush that permanently. Only thing to prevent this in the future id to stop working out on the carpet and onto a hard surface. Puttin a hard mat over the carpet will still crush the fibers. There are tricks to try to get the fibers back. Any questions you can e mail me through my avatar. GL

Q:Me and some friends were wrestling around and I got a rug burn...its pretty red...anyone know the best way to heal it and about how long it'll take? (Dnt wanna walk around skool with it but meh) I was thinking of using Neosporin pain relief ointment (the clear kind) 2 times a day..any ideas? Thx in advance :D

Rug burn is chafing , so neosporinr is perfect. Just wash with soapy water and let it dry first. It will clear up fast if it's just red. If its bleeding or oprn will take longer. Aloe, from a plant will work too.

Q:How do carpets quickly remove formaldehyde?

If the formaldehyde exceeded the standard, it is the carpet lining material.The backing material of the carpet is made of adhesive of styrene butadiene rubber, natural latex and other water soluble rubber as adhesive, and the pollution of synthetic adhesive to the surrounding air is serious. Formaldehyde and benzene may cause excessive standards.

Q:I have a big rug in my bathroom (Not huge, its about 5' x 3').. it's thick and has a thick rubber back. I don't know how to describe what it's made of, but it's not the usual kind of rug you would find to go around the toilet (with a toilet seat cover to match), it's a more expensive rug and the threads kind of loop up and back in.. lol Does that make sense? Anyway, it's been in my bathroom for a while and I want to wash it but I don't want to ruin it. Help?

You could try washing it by hand in the tub with soap or put it in the gentle cycle of the washing machine, or take it to the cleaners.

Q:I want to know which carpet cleaner is better the Hoover Platinum or the Rug Doctor. I am just using this for my home. Anything better I don't need the huge professional monsters.

If the Hoover Platinum is a steam cleaner, that would be good to use. The best way to clean your carpets is with a steam cleaner, and please open your windows in your home a crack, and possibly turn the heat up a little in the evening, to help the carpets dry quickly, and help the air to circulate and it's the best way. Should be dry within 3-4 hrs. Take care.

Q:difference and selection of 3D foot pad, hairy pad and the new wire circle pad of car carpet ~

The price of wire circle pad is relatively high, it seems deluxe in the car too. so if your car is a good one, wire circle pad is recommended to choose.
