Q:The other day I just found out that I had a hand-made rug that was made in Iran and bought by my grandparents about 10-15 years ago, the rug is about 6x8 and they paid around $2000 dollars for it.My question is what is the proper way to clean a rug that is hand-made? It has not been cleaned in years only vacuumed... and also is there a market place for these rugs? if I do decide I want to sell it.

Most large cities have companies that specialize in oriental rug cleaning, maybe you are near one of these. I would suggest having it professionally cleaned every few years so that it will be less attractive to carpet beetles and clothes moths.

Q:We just got laminate flooring. It's tongue and grove and looks like shiny cherry wood. We have a 5x7 area rug in the middle of the floor, it's just a simple flat maroon area rug bought from Walmart. Is there anything I can place underneath the area rug that won't scratch the flooring and that will keep pet stains from seeping through to the laminate flooring. I have a 16 year old dog and he pees everywhere and for some reason he's fond of area rugs. I've pulled the carpet up to find that the pee has seeped through. Also because of the seepage I'm afraid of thoroughly cleaning the soiled area, such as with a carpet cleaner, because of the cleaners seeping down to the laminate.Thanks.

Q:Looking for someone in Turkey who is already trained in fine rug repair. If anyone knows anyone please contact Passion of Persia.

I found their site over the net though, so I can't give a personal reference on this one. Yet they are located at the Hal?c?lar ?ar??s?, that is the Rug Sellers Market, so they got to be adequately skilled in their trade I reckon. But again, at your own risk I must add. To call their number you should add 0090 country code to the front (009002125149738)

Q:I'm taking on a rescue horse that my friend rescued. He has rainscald and I was wondering when turning him out should I put a rug on him? Because there so many diffrent answers also can you put louse powder on them? Also he ginger and I need a name really want it to be unqui :) thanks

I would not put a rug on him. Only put him out if the weather it nice and dry. Putting on a rug will only help the bacteria out. You should not need to use the louse powder on him either. As for a name how about Ozzy or redd, romper, ernie, pokey, charlie, or just to throw people off you could name him blue. LOL

Q:Does anyone have a rug cleaner recipe that contains ammonia, dish soap and water. And is depensed from a foaming container.

Is this a rug you can take outside.? if so, use the dishwashing liquid( just a little) and scrub it then rinse well, hang to dry..Mine come out beautifully.

Q:why does the floor carpet start showing some wrinkles? too old?

I can suggest this. I think the best thing is to dampen it a little . You did?t say how large the carpet is, If it?s a wall to wall carpet , the wrinkles should have come out when it was laid, But if it?s a large centre carpet then with a damp sponge go over it and rub outwards.Or turn it over and stamp on it pushing your feet outward?s. I did this with a rug we had stores in the loft, it had been moved around so many times and never put straight. The wrinkles came

Q:I am away from my horses at the moment and i have to call each day to have them rugged. I couldnt get a hold of the lady today and they may not be rugged. its winter here (not snowing here ever) and they have always had doona type rugs on of a night. will they be ok and not get sick?im so worried i feel sick

As long as your horses have a decent hair coat, place to get out of the wind (a wall is fine) and hay to eat they will be just fine. Even if it was snowing they'd be fine-freezing rain is the worst thing for them. Stop worrying-horses have extremely efficient heating systems.

Q:We just moved into a condo about 3 weeks ago... and we have white carpet. I accidently dropped my ashtray onto the floor of my room, and its caused a HUGE black stain....in a very obvious place! I've tried alot of the carpet cleaners.... and its seeming to just make it worse....can someone help?!

Vacuum it again really good, and then get some oxie clean. Make it stronger then the package recommends and wet down the spot and let it work. If that doesn't do it, since the carpet is white, I would try a deluded mixture of bleach. But take my word for it, as soon as you have money, get rid of that white carpet!!!! Try a nice mix of browns, hides many sins.
