Q:I am desperately trying to find out how to remove melted candle wax from carpet. Help!

Hi There is two ways to remove wax from carpet. 1/ Use the edge of a butter knife to carefully scrape off or lift up as much solid wax as you can .Use a dry clean white terrycloth place it over the wax spot then heat it with a iron on low setting because most homes have polyester carpet, and if the iron gets too hot, it'll melt the carpet. Keep checking the spot every ten seconds or so, moving the terrycloth so that a clean spot is on the carpet. 2/ Which is the better way. Use the edge of a butter knife to carefully scrape off or lift up as much solid wax as you can Heat up a full kettle of water and pour it slowly on the carpet at the same time with a wet vac vacuum up the water. Keep on doing this until the wax is removed. From a carpet cleaner of 14 years

Q:Is there any great carpet cleaners in torrington, Connecticut? I just moved in to my new condo and the carpets are just plain nasty and I need to get them cleaned! Looking to find carpet cleaners to do a great job at a competitive price.

So weird that I just randomly came across this question! I just moved to South Florida from Southington, CT, but I also lived for many years in Bristol and my mother-in-law lives in Torrington currently. Yes, I can definitely recommend ChemDry (I think they have a Torrington location, not sure where exactly, but the number is 860-489-6010). My family owned several apartment complexes, and we eventually learned to do our own carpet cleaning, but before that, we used ChemDry...they're great. They are very reasonably priced too. I just asked my mother in law who shed recommend, and she says there's a place called The Carpet Magician on South Main St in Torrington that she used, so I googled them, they have great reviews and they are running a whole house for $89 deal. Their number is 203.721.0491. Mention that you found them on merchant circle and you can get the $89 deal. All their work is guaranteed, and my MIL says they did a good job on her cream colored carpet. Hope this helps!

Q:rug is wool. its new. it costs 80 dollars to clean with the company.. id rather do it by hand.what besides hot water and a rug.. do i put on it to clean it by hand?

Let the pros clean it since it's wool. Do NOT use hot water on it.If it's just the smell then open all the windows and let it air out. The smell will disappear. If you have a clean garage lay it in there on top of sawhorses or clean trashcans so the air can circulate.

Q:Have a quick question? What do professional carpet cleaners uses to make the carpet smell like lemon etc?

The detergent was scented that way.

Q:Rugs get little traffic in 2 of 3 bedrooms. Very thick plush Carpet One type carpeting. Any suggestions?

Your carpeting is stretching which causes the wrinkles you described. Most often this is due to improper installation. Many installers just rough cut a piece of carpet, bring it in to the room, unroll it, trim it and use a tool to kick in the carpet under the baseboard and onto the tack strips. The proper way to do it is to use something called a power stretcher which stretches the carpet from one wall to the opposing wall. Go back to the people you bought it from and see if they can get the original installer to make it right. Most carpet stores send installers a lot of business and have a fair amount of influence over them. If they refuse or the installers refuse make sure you let them know your dissatisfaction and report them to the Better Business Bureau. Hopefully you won't have to pay for this yourself or take things that far.

You rug a horse if it is cold. Show horses need short coats, the warmth of the blanket takes away the nee for a horse to grow long hair to stay warm. Also, some people do it to keep the horse clean, from laying down and from dust. Good Luck!

Q:I recently purchased this couch. I kept the colors the same (purple and teal). However, the two smallest accent pillows aren't the same; they're just going to be the same teal color. I need a rug and window treatments to match. I love the idea of a print and I'd like to not have it all too matchy. Any wall decor ideas are appreciated as well. Thanks for all the suggestions!!

I love it! You have great taste. I'd go will some soft silk drapes that gently flow and maybe puddle on the floor in a cream, gray or tan, with a contrasting colored tassel to hold them back. If you want a printed drape, I'd still go silk and stick with a contemporary pattern. Rug options are limitless. When shopping for a rug, try to pull out a color in your other items. I find it is striking to have that be a small almost unnoticeable color in the rug, but it will pop because it is in another item. For example a printed rug that is predominantly brown, but has little hints of purple in it. Alone you might not notice the purple in the rug, but the pillows make it pop out. I'd go with abstract art given the contemporary nature of the couch... maybe a canvas giclee.
