Q:I will have some carpeting left over from a whole house install, and would like to use some for a area rug in my dining room. What can I do to the bottom to cover the scratchy texture of the carpeting so it doesn't scratch my wood floors?

You can get some rubber, like they use on the bottom of real rugs, and use some super strong glue and glue the rubber to the bottom of the excess carpet. It's cheap and easy.

Q:What good is a carpet?

Carpet laying simple, modeling, patterns, installation time is short, can create an atmosphere inside the room, a vigorous atmosphere.The carpet is a kind of flexible pavement materials, good skid resistance and softness can make people not easy to slip and knock on it. Therefore, if the children's house carpet, it can give children a safe line of defense.

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:A: is it good to lay full carpets in the bedroom?

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

Kids love playing with Play Dough. The problem? It can be messy, and it always seems to end up on surfaces that are the hardest to clean...like the carpet. This simple 4 step process will help you remove ground in dough even if it seems that it's there to stay! Step 1 While it's still moist, remove as much of the play dough from the carpet as you can. Avoid stepping on it to prevent it from being ground in to the carpet fibers even more. Step 2 Is there dough that you were unable to get picked up because it's already too stuck to the carpet? Walk away! Leave the dough to dry for several hours (I find that over- night works best). You want the dough to be as dry as possible. Step 3 Using the edge of a spoon, firmly scrape the dough from the carpet. The spoon will not damage the carpet, and it will also loosen the dried dough that is stuck. Step 4 Vacuum the carpet thoroughly. Continue to scrape and vacuum until all of the dough is removed.

Q:Ok, i'm 14 and was quot;experimentingquot; with fire in my bedroom, i set a piece of paper alight, and was holding it, when it got to the point where i couldn't hold it any longer, i dropped it and stomped it out, then immediately noticed that the paper had kinda quot;fusedquot; with the carpet to create one big mess on the floor, and not need it gone urgently before my parents see! The carpet itself isn't really burnt i guess...

409 Carpet Cleaner. Don't use bleach.

Q:i have a little dog and i'm still training her so i have a carpet cleaner spray i use on her areas that she had an accident on. Well anyway she did her thing inside instead of outside and i grabbed the tilex tile cleaner with bleach instead of the carpet cleaner and now my carpet is bleached in 2 areas! I am moving apartments in a month and i am afraid i wont get my deposit back. Is there any carpet dye or somthing i could do???

Dying bleach stains in a carpet can be done, but that is something usually best left to a professional. Try contacting local flooring companies, or check your local registry to see if you have someone in your area that does 'carpet repair, or dye'. If the bleach stains aren't very large, then it might be possible to 'swap' a portion of the carpet out of a closet, and patch it. Again, this isn't something I would recommend for a novice. It does take a bit of skill to make a patch that blends in so it isn't visible. Using carpet dye, or patching a carpet, are two things that can very easily end up with more problems than you started with, hehe. In a worst case scenario, the carpet could be replaced.. so it would be a toss up, as to which would be more expensive, losing the deposit, or installing new carpet. Before replacing it, I'd suggest you double check with the apartment management. Many apartment complexes will keep at least a portion of the deposit, for 'cleaning' anyway, so there is a chance you won't get your full deposit back, even if you leave it with absolutely no damage at all. The only way around it would be to hire a professional cleaning company yourself, and that usually costs more than letting the apartment management have their maintenance/cleaning employees do the work. I would recommend that, if you cannot find someone to repair the carpet, that you get some estimates on replacing it. Then, if the apartment management tries to keep the entire deposit, you make them break it down by cost (in writing). If their cost for carpet replacement is higher than your estimates, you've got something you can use to barter with, if it is worth your time. Good Luck

Q:When we finally peeled it off, it left behind all the stuff that was under it including pieces of the fuzzy part. Anyone know what I can use to get it off?? Right now my hubbs and I are scraping it off but it is taking forever. Thanks in advance!!

I know exactly what you are saying, if these rugs are left on a wet or humid floor they will stick to it ,and when you wash them they make a mess in the washer, to remove the sticky stuff from the floor spray some white vinegar on it and scraping gently this will take care of it . The next time that you buy a rug , get one with no backing , 100% cotton this will not stick to the floor.

Q:What color carpet can make the house bright?

It is recommended to use neutral color, because glass and stainless steel are too cold white walls, but with warm colors and the ground with color, it seems uncoordinatedBeige is the most beautiful color, but not good care, gray is neutral, but it is partial cold, people will be uncomfortable in it..
