Q:I am painting my truck black but the carpet inside is like a burgandy color and falling apart.Can I just put like new black carpet down or what else could i put in the floor of my truck

I had a '76 F250 that just had a black rubber mat in it. Great for hosing out a muddy interior!

Q:I recently had new carpet installed in my home, and I was confused that the name of the color I picked out at the showroom was called quot;Fawn's Leapquot;, but 3 weeks later when the installers arrived, the tag on the carpet roll was named quot;Creston Winter Minkquot;. I called the carpet store and asked them if this was the same carpet I picked out since it seemed a bit lighter in color. They assurred me that it was the same carpet, and that the factory that made it uses that name, whereas the store uses the other for generic purposes. I kept a swatch to compare later on at the showrroom. But is this common with the carpet industry?

theres 2 scenarios that fall into play here.1st- the carpet mills produce the carpet in large lots, some mills give their product a name others a number.carpet distribitutors and stores are able to give carpets whatever name they like, hence the reason you go to home depot w/ a lowes name and you cant find the name but the exact carpet. for example: my carpet distributor has a product line made by shaw mills, called apt +2, but its the only place to find that name. a store that i worked for dealt w/ masiland mills , almost everything that came from that mill had a store given name like the owners sons nickname for example. it makes it seem like that carpet is exclusively made for that store, also, not all dyes are mixed the same way giving a variance in dye lot (the difference between your swatch and the sample. 2- worst case, you picked out a carpet and the store you bought it from found a comparable piece for less money and ordered that thinkin you wouldn't notice the difference and they put even more money in their pocket. go back to that store and see if they have a rug by the name you got and not ordered, if so check the price if different i would seek legal retribution

Q:has any one had them out to clean your carpet and if so is it worth the money? give me some stories good or bad about them

Used them many times and they are very reasonably priced. If you aren't moving your furniture (which we didn't) make sure they put everything up on blocks so as not to stain the carpets until they dry. It's a normal procedure for them but they can mess up and your wood or fabric that touches the wet carpet will stain it. When they are done your carpets should only be damp and not wet to the touch. If they are wet don't let them leave until the carpets are only damp. Stanley Steemer is a franchise operation so not all franchises are great. I use them for a whole house cleaning but use my own steam cleaner much more often. I have saved a lot of money by owning my own steam cleaning machine which is a Bissell. I can keep up on carpet cleaning routinely as opposed to waiting until the carpets are in dire need. I would recommend after you use Stanley to buy your own cleaner.

Q:Because carpet is soft...

The carpet may be soft, but your chin is a very sensitive part of your body. It never comes in contact with anything - unlike your hands - and it never builds up callous or protective tissue. It is also home to a lot of receptors - so when you rub your chin against the carpet, you are giving it a friction burn and that hurts. Not sure why you might want to rub your chin against the carpet in the first place, but that's why it hurts.

Q:I have google searched, froogle searched, ask searched, and everything in between with all different keywords. I am honestly convinced that NO ONE...including previous answerers... can grasp the fact that college students dont want to spend $50-$100 on a damn rug. I am looking for a very cheap plain neutral rug source (~$10 free shipping) online. After all...its a damn floor cover on a **** dorm floor...for what a year? Come on guys. How about some ample suggestions for a good website. best answer. If it's more than $15...dont waste your time.

Dollar stores. Garage/Estate sales. How about a decor blanket you already have, medium weight to act as your rug. Tape down the blanket to the floor and enjoy your free rug.

Q:can anyone offer some advice on how to get wood stain out of california berber carpet?

What colour is the carpet? When we moved into our house there was a very dark brown stain in the middle of the pink carpet. We'd had the carpets cleaned but it remained. I got some bleach and a pink Chux (I don't know whether you have this product where you are but it is a think cleaning cloth). The bleach removed the stain out of the carpet and the pink from the Chux was transferred to the carpet. You can now not tell at all where the stain was.

Q:We're moving into an 850-sqft place with all hardwood floors. We are thinking about putting in either rugs or carpet for the WHOLE PLACE (except bathroom and kitchen) because we have a 1 year old who could really use the extra cushion. Which is more cost-efficient? Where can I get quality rugs/carpet at a bargain?

Let Look the rugs and carpets difference - Rugs do not require professional cleaners, while the carpet require. Rugs are lighter in weight while the carpets are heavier. Rugs are costlier as compare to the carpets For small space rugs used, while the carpets are used for large space Look the Source for more difference between rugs and carpet, now decide which is better...

Q:What rugs do I need to get for my horse? Like what makes and how much?

Q:How can you get carpets to smell good and get the odor out without using a shampooer or any kind of electric carpet cleaner?ive been told baking soda but it didnt work...

The answer is real simple...you can't get them clean and deodorized without using a shampooer or any kind of electric carpet cleaner I was a cleaning professional for over a decade so you can either take my word for it, or start wearing a clothes pin on your nose all the time you're home. And it's very likely the rinky-dink carpet cleaners you rent won't work either, but you could try one before calling in professional carpet cleaners who use heavy-duty machines to clean carpets with. Maybe the sources I've provided will help. In the second link click on the subject titles to read the full article. Hope this helps.
