Q:whats a good inexpensive stream cleaner that will make my carpet look like new again! we moved into our apartment almost a year ago and it was a very rainy muddy day, ever since my carpets have just been plain nasty looking, its only the livingroom and diningroom though. What can i get that will actually work

Vacuum the carpet, remove all the superficial dirt especially in traffic areas. At Home Depot you can rent a machine to stream the carpet and can buy the detergent. Choose a detergent with anti mould and antimicrobial agent.

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

For candle wax. You can freeze it off. Take a can of keyboard cleaner or any canned air will do or even ice will work. Slowly spray the canned air on the wax or rub on the ice. Then when it's frozen just chip it away with a dull butter knife. This also works for bubble gum. Carpet cleaner for 13 years.

Q:Is it good to lay a carpet under the table?

It should be spread to the foot of the foot, do not afraid of dirty! It depends on the living room area, you can sit on the floor if it's big enough!

Q:How can I convince my parents to get carpet installed in my room? Our whole house is wood flooring. But the floor gets too cold for me. they dont want it because our dogs sometimes, quot;don't go outsidequot; and it ruins the carpet. But lately they haven't done it in my room. They also dont want it because it costs hundreds. Any ways I can earn money for it? Thanks!

you could tell them the advantages of having a carpet in your room, and you told us that you'll be the one to gather money for it so your parents might agree with that. you can always lock your room so that the dogs cannot enter or whatever, just make sure you have the key. hope you can have your carpet.

Q:I noticed that my carpet has holes in it. there are tiny areas where the carpet strands are gone/eaten/disappeared/burned/etc and i don't know what it is. Also, around the area it is black or has black stuff left on the carpet (light brown carpet color). Any ideas as to what it is? How to stop it? Fix it? [also the only pets i have are fish]

there's a few things that live in carpets or breed there. but moths are the ones that are famous for holes. the larvae eat the rug then become moths. If you're lucky a little flea spray and the worms will come up so you can see them. start using boric acid or diatomaceous earth (buy the kind for this use not the pool filter material). sprinkle on carpet and brush deep with broom. Vacuum more regularly and put down more boric acid every few months at least.

Q:My dog got ahold of one of my moms plants. I told her it was stupid to buy them while the dog was in the house. Anyways, the dog got ahold of the plant and drug it across the carpet, I tried vacuuming the carpet, but it just stained. How do I clean the carpet?!

Call a professional carpet cleaner, the bill goes to whoever allowed this animal in the home.

Q:he keeps on peeing on the rugs he goes poop in the cat box but even though he gets in trouble he just keeps on peeing on the rugs! any ideas how to solve this?

Your cat may have a urinary tract infection and is associating the pain when he pees with the litter box. You need to have the cat examined and have a urine test done to eliminate this as a cause. And you need to completely remove the urine odor otherwise the cat will continue to pee there. Cats sense of smell is much more so than humans so even if you cant smell it the cat may. I have more info on my blog if you're interested. Cats also dont recognize getting into trouble like dogs do. They dont realize that the reason you are upset is because of something they did.

Q:I have a antiuqe rug. My dog pissed on it and it made it bumpy.The tag on it is in chinese, It is made of silk. I need some help on cleaning it. Dry clean? or what. I can not put it in the washer because it is a high effenincy washer and it will ruin it when it gets wet.

Put several thickness of towel under the area. Try sponging the area your dog messed with a solution of warm water and white vinegar. That will neutralize any odor and sanitize the rug. When it is almost dry, leaving the towels under the rug, iron the affected area with a warm iron. This should allow you to smooth the bums out. Make sure the water isn't too hot and the iron not set more than medium heat.

Q:It's about the size of the cotton part of a q-tip/cotton swab... It's just a regular shiny black color, but then again this is the first time I've seen something like this. I found it crawling on the carpet, so I ran across the room to get something to kill it with. By the time I was back, I saw it digging into my carpet! I was astonished, and disgusted, so I got my vacuum cleaner, and went over the entire room it was in. A little later I saw it again! What is this, are there more beetles, and WHAT DO I DO?!

Probably a carpet beetle.
