Q:is it good to use a very thin carpet at home?

It's not very comfortable and warm to step up, but you don't need to worry about worms or something like that. it is easier to clean up with a vacuum cleaner. thin carpet can't be used long, it may be broken a few months later, and others are almost the same.

Q:My a/c was leaking and got my carpet wet. I want to make sure if it has some mold that i can treat it so it it wont make anyone sick.

Carpet usually can't sustain mold or fugus. It has to be somethin in or on the carpet for that to happen. Depending on how wet it got, you might have to pull the carpet back cut the pad out if it got soaked. The pad will act as a sponge keep everything wet thats where you'll run into problems. Take the peice to Home Depot to match it up replace it. Have the carpets professionaly cleaned

Q:I spilled hot hair removal wax on my carpet in two places in my aparment. A. Is there any way to remove the wax from the carpet. B. If there is not a way to remove it, does the whole carpet in the room have to be replaced or just the small area? C. How much does this generally cost. I would rather just pay for it myself than have the landlord try to bill me for it. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Use some ice on the wax and try scraping off as much as possible then get several rolls of paper towels and an iron. Place layers of paper towels over the wax and place iron on lowest setting on top.Replace towels when wax comes through other side. Keep doing this until the wax is gone.

Q:The title says it all? What do i do?!

Q:i have 5 rugs and they are pretty grubby now, can i wash them in the washing machinegt;?

considering is dyed pink dry-cleansing is the terrific cleansing technique to maintain the colour long term. you ought to bathe the sheepskin with the exceptional sheepskin woolskin wash yet a number of the dye shade will run out interior the rinse water. Salt is a organic dye fixative so i exploit salt interior the staggering rinse water to cut back dye run. do not use a common woolwash, that's not suitable for the leather-based. A sheepskin carding brush is large to brush out knots before and once you wash a sheepskin rug to ward off matting.

Q:Also... what would be cheaper? Carpet, carpet tile, or laminate?I ask because these stupid companies (Lowes, Home Depot, etc) keep making it seem like there's a difference between carpet and carpet tile and it seems like carpet tile is cheaper.Why would it be cheaper? It actually seems like it would cost less than laminate but I have absolutely no idea why or what to look for.I'm looking for new flooring for my living room.

Carpet tile is sold in squares, either 12 or 18, and carpet well it is rolled, usually 12' long, smaller rooms can be done cheapest by getting remnants. Carpet is large variety's is easier to locate, while carpet tiles are usually plain,and of fewer variety's. The backing on carpet is of better quality and definatly stronger. The backing on carpet tile is thin and of course sticky due to the adhesive. Should your carpet get wet, the carpeet tiles do not do wet well. They after a while will pull up and have to be repaced, and it can be a larger job than thought as the surrounding tiles will look dirty. Laminate, well that is a different totally different look and feel.

Q:my daughter got play doh all over my carpet....new play doh...how do i get it off the carpet

Any fine stuff that will not come up by stomping on it, you use a little coarse sand paper on.

Q:without steam cleaning the carpet how do I remove dried on stains from rugs carpets?

Carpet stains are a part of life. Fortunately, common household vinegar can remove them as easily as they came about. Vinegar can remove even the toughest stains, including alcohol, perfume, cola, coffee and pet mess. 1. Get a clean water spray bottle. 2. Fold several (five to eight is ideal) clean paper towels into a square stack. 3. Pour one part white vinegar with two parts cold water into the bottle, seal and shake. 4. Test the solution on an inconspicuous part of your carpet. Spray the solution and blot dry to verify that the vinegar doesn't discolor your carpet. 5. Remove excess stain-causing liquid by blotting the stained area on the carpet with paper towels. 6. Spray the mixture onto the stain generously. Allow it to soak into the carpet for a few seconds. 7. Press the paper towel stack against the stain and blot so that the staining ingredient will lift onto the paper towels. 8. Continue spraying the carpet with the vinegar solution and blotting carpet until no stain remains. To ease handling, you may choose to spray the paper towels with the solution before blotting as long as you continue to spray the carpet, too. 9. Allow the carpet to dry. The scent of vinegar should fade away while it evaporates. # For large stains, mix the solution and pour it into the detergent part of a carpet cleaning machine. Clean with the machine as usual. # For tough stains, leave a fresh stack of paper towels on top of the stain and place a heavy item like a weighted trash can over it. Leave overnight as the vinegar solution soaks up the extra stain-causing ingredient. # Do not use home cleaning products that contain lanolin or bleach on your carpet. Doing so could cause damage to your carpet. # Avoid rubbing the stains. # Do not spray enough vinegar onto the carpet for it to soak into the carpet's padding.

Q:I have a thin, lightweight, 3x5 rug in my room. The floor is hardwood floor (but unwaxed). It is kind of like an quot;area-fillerquot;, so my room doesn't look so empty, therefore I don't want to put anything on top of it to anchor it down. Simply walking over it causes it to slip slide and move around. What can I do to hold it in place? Do they sell anything for things like this?Thank you!

Any flooring store or home center has these special thin mas that are used under rugs.. They seam tacky , but leave no residue. And when they get dirty naturally you toss then ib the washer and the tackiness comes back to reuse.. One CAUTION.. Get only the one meant for rugs over wood. Don t get the rubber mats that are sold in housewares, these can stain the wood. These are special for 2 reasons.. They allow the wood to breathe and they will not stain or discolor the wood if you have a oil based urethane on them.. GL

Q:so the cat pooped on the rug.i cleaned it up.it smelled.i tried to cover it up with bleach.it left a big stain.i dont want to buy any stain remover.now what do i do?

Bleach isn't a stain, it's bleach. Meaning there is no color under the bleach. You won't be able to restore the color to the rug because it is no longer there. The bleach altered or removed the color. Hide the spots cleverly or buy a new rug.
