Q:I wash my bathroom rugs 3 times a week, but then I also buy new ones about every 3 months. Am I washing mine too often? It seems to me I should wash them more often.What about the kitchen? I wash mine 2times a week.Am I weird, or dirty?

only a couple times a year, and NO your not dirty, although I probably am a little and I'm sure you think so too, lol but I do think this rug washing behavior is a little over the top I say about once a month is good which is somewhere in between us although, if this makes you happy, go and wash your heart out!

Q:my daughter spill red kool aid on my beige carpet. I have an expensive carpet cleaner but it is not doing the trick help

I'm not sure about red kool-aid but I use rubbing alcohol for all sorts of other stains and have had great luck with it. I just pour some into a spray bottle and spray a small area of the stain/spot. (should be fairly wet but not soaked). Then rub the area with a clean dry cloth it should take up the stain/spot right away. Rubbing alcohol is fast drying which can be a great help as well. WARNING... [Be sure to test it in a small area first. It could possibly damage the carpet as well. Tho it's not likely.] I hope this works for you.

Q:SO my dog had bad diaheria and made a nasty nasty mess on the carpet in a few spots and it was just aweful so only thing i had was oxi clean so put oxiclean on the spots which were very large spots and now its super white in those spots which is better then poo but looks crazy... what can I do to make it look not as noticable? Only thing i could think of is get oxiclean and add it to water and steam clean the whole carpet and maybe it wont be as bad but that would take TON of oxiclean does anyone have any ideas?

put a lot of bleach in your steam cleaner, at least maby it will kind of even it up.

Q:My carpet is so stained, and gross. it has makeup, and coke,and nailpolish.I reallly want to get new carpet.how much would that cost?in a 11 by 12 foot room?

Carpet with a standard pad and a medium grade carpet will run you 2.50/3.00$ a s/f.. You need 132 s/f. You can find cheaper and of course more expensive, but this is a mid range price. This will not include rip out and disposal of the old , but that can be negotiated into the price or you can do it yourself and save money. The stains you describe cannot be gotten out with a rented machine.Perhaps not even a professional. Figuring the 3$ a s/f , it ll cost around 400$ ( +-).

Q:Does the carpet make them sound better? Or is it to protect the cabinet? Or is it just because it looks good?

Not all of them are carpeted. In fact, I don't think I've seen any carpeted ones in many years. Old Cerwin Vegas, had carpeting as I recall. Anyway, it's just cosmetic. The carpeting doesn't show road wear as much as the Tolex vinyl coverings.

Q:What is the material of pp in carpet?

it depends on the type of the carpet, now there are a lot of plastic carpets on the market , chemical materials will be more in carpets with worse quanlity,so suggest to buy carpet with a better quality, at least it guarantees the quality, in addition to the polypropylene mentioned above (also have PVC, PVC, plastic and rubber)

Q:A chair I have literally put a hole about the size of a baseball in my carpet. Is there any way to repair or patch it? I cant afford a new carpet, but its only going to get worse...

there are two things you can do 1. replace (and you said it is not an option) 2. cut an even square (like 6X6) out of an un-noticable spot like in a closet. cut the same size around that hole you have. get some carpet glue and glue it in. it won't look perfect, but at least you won't have a whole. next thing, get a cheap rug and sit the chair on it to protect the carpet.

Q:I spilled some coffee on the carpet and nothing seems to take it out at the moment. Do you have any ideas?

Blot the area with a clean, white cloth to absorb all the liquid you can. Blot from the outside of the stain in to avoid spreading the stain. Mix 1 teaspoon clear, mild liquid dish washing detergent with 1 cup lukewarm water. Sponge the area with the detergent solution. Blot again with a clean, white cloth. Mix 1/3 cup white vinegar with 2/3 cup lukewarm water. Sponge the area with the vinegar solution. Blot with a clean, white cloth. Sponge the area with clean water. Blot with a clean, white cloth. Good luck
