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:After stepping on strong sticky rat board, get on the carpet is how to remove the shoe, viscose carpet without damage to the carpet?

First of all, to ensure that the carpet intact, very difficult.If alcohol is not enough, in addition to paint thinner or try;Of course, it's not realistic to do this without damaging the carpet.

Q:I want the Rambo turnout lite in a 5ft or a 5ft 3, but whenever I contact an intenet seller about this, they say that Rambo rugs only go down to a 5ft 6. Is this true? If so, it is very stupid. Especially as Rambo rugs are such a large fit. My horse is meant to be a size 5ft 9, but he's wearing the Rambo lite in a size 5ft 9 right now and it is hanging off him, I measured it and it's 9 inches too long.

Are you looking for a pony sized blanket? That's probably why.

Q:I'm moving soon and currently my room is being constructed (dad was a builder/architect)I want a carpet, because whenever my chair rolls, it would scratch the floor boards, but I'm not sure my chair would be able to roll around on a carpet or rug. So will it?

Of course your chair will roll on the carpet. Now if you select a carpet with a low pile on it, it will offer less resistance to your wheels and be easier for you to navigate. A pile like an indoor-outdoor carpet, they have some nice choices,or even some commercial style flooring has a low pile for high traffic areas. You don't have to live in a barn with cold hard floors, you can enjoy carpet! A chair with larger wheels in the front will be able to roll over the floor-to-carpet transitions better. Smaller wheels tend want to get stuck at those points. Especially if the carpet layer folds the carpet edge over (cheap undesired technique in my opinion), rather than using metal carpet strips.

Q:Need to figure out what our max budget needs to be for new carpet for about 900 sf.

Go look at carpet; they price it by the square foot. See what kind you want. Remember to add in the price of padding and labor. Also, it's better to buy great padding, and lesser quality of carpet if you have to make a choice. The great padding can be kept when you buy carpet the second time. It really extends the life of your carpet, no matter what quality of carpet you buy. And some carpets are better for hiding stains than others. I get beige colored carpet, because it goes with about any color scheme I've come up with.

Q:I was wondering how shark steam mop performed on carpets. does it remove stains and spots?

I don't own one, but they appear to be designed for hard flooring such as tile and linoleum. There's only a cloth at the bottom where the steam passes through. I think you'd really be struggling trying to use one on carpet. A better alternative would be a carpet cleaner, Bissell and Hoover are both good brands. Expect to pay $150-300 and up. But for a budget, I love the Little Green Machine by Bissell which is much smaller. Don't try to clean an entire carpeted area with it or you'll be exhausted! But it's great for cleaning upholstery and for picking up spills on carpet, and doesn't take up a lot of storage space. Costs around $100 and you can get it at WalMart and many other retailers. Then if you need to do your whole carpet, you can rent an extractor for around $25 (check with your local supermarket, they probably rent Rug Doctor, etc.). You can get the job done in a day and not have a bulky machine taking up valuable closet space the rest of the year.

Q:Heyy me and my roommates are thowing a huge going back to school party but we are trying to keep our carpet as clean as possible (almost impossible i know). Were going to have a couple hundred people coming in and out. Is there anything that people know about that could protect the carpet from serious damage and spills? Budget is also a factor, so he cheaper the better! Thankss

Okay, I know you're not going to like this but, here goes... The only thing that I have ever seen work in an environment that you and your friends are about to put carpet through were custom fit quarter inch masonite panels which were duct taped to the baseboards and thresholds. And this is on construction sites with fewer people who are very mindful of other peoples work. It's hard enough to walk on a solid surface when drunk let alone a carpet covered with plastic, paper and/or cloth. If you do have a spill, more than likely, no one would know about it until the next day when the covering is removed. You would have a lot less food and drink spilled if you were to leave the carpet uncovered. That said..... Resign yourself to the possibility (probability) that you'll have to have the carpet professionally cleaned . How do you pay for that? Your guests can ante up a couple of bucks each as a cover charge. It's a pittance compared to tuition fees. Another way to look at it is, if you are renting and have placed a security deposit with your landlord and decide not to do anything about a stained carpet, how frugal do you think he or she will be with your money when contracting a carpet cleaner? Not! The way the economy is now you can probably get a pretty good deal. So get busy. Oh, and while getting your prices, you might want to ask which stains are the most difficult to remove. I know that candle wax is a tough one. One last thought. You may know or know of someone who has a carpet cleaner. See if you can borrow it for the evening. Have it set up and ready to go should there be an accident. I'd loan you mine but I'm over 30 and can't be trusted. Have fun and I hope I didn't sound too much like your father.

Q:Its almost thanksgiving which means lots of guest! I have nasty old stained grey carpet. what can I do in only a weeks time?

Have it cleaned by a professional.

Q:will it mess up the carpet or don anything negative in general

No I wouldn't do that. Why not buy a plastic tray to place it on? Or one of those rubber mats that go underneath a office chair?
