Q:my rugs curl when laying on the floor.is it the material, the traffic, the humidity, or a simple quantum explantion.

you know, i ask myself the same thing! lemme know when you get a good answer.

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.

Hi - We have laminate (tongue and groove as well) and we have a new puppy who isnt house broken yet and is fond of rugs, why is that? Anyway, what we bought some of those pee pads and put them underneath the area rugs. If it seeps through then it hits the pee pad and we can remove it and replace it with a clean one - once we wash the spot of course. I put a little double sided tape between the back of the pee pad and the floor to hold it in place. So far that has seemed to work.

Q:scorched my carpeting. the lamp cord had a split and it broke leaving black scorch marks on my carpet.

The only way you can remove the scorch marks off the carpet is to clip the black scorch marks off. Very carefully so you don't clip more than you need to clip. Hopefully it was across the top part of the carpet threads. When we had our carpets installed the installer told me to correct some threads that pop out is to clip on them rather than try to pull them out. So when you think of it I guess it is about the only way you can fix the scorched problem. If it is more than just scorched you can replace a small area with an other piece where it doesn't show or matter. Best of luck to you and hope you only need clipping.

Q:my mom has purple marker stuck in her carpet.

Pour isopropyl alcohol(next to rubbing alcohol) on it . Dab with a paper towel or washcloth and continue until it is gone.

Q:What's on the carpet, dirty, urgent, etc

Now the office usually shop carpet carpet, because the size of 500MM * 500MM, which is 4 for a flat, a lot of colors, he paving and cleaning, replacement is very convenient, where the dirty can wash the piece, or change, will not happen in this case you said!

Q:Which rug should I get?

The second one

Q:Including installation fees, padding, taking out the old carpet, and the material, how much would it cost to re-carpet my 17 x 14 foot bedroom with basic brown carpeting?

Basic carpet will go for around 3$ (+-) a s/f installed with a basic pad. You ll need a pc 12x21 and that ll have several T seams along one wall. Or a pc 15x17 and no seams but will be 3 more s/f. I d go seamless and get the extra 3 s/f. If your carpet isn t glue down now and its a standard install , it will run from free rip out to 50 cents a s/f (about 100/125 $) One thing you may run into is disposal of the old and that can run from 75 /100$ All these prices vary from area to area but your looking at 1000$ for all you ve listed. Any questions you can e mail me through my avatar. GL

Q:My cat ate some Meow Mix Seafood flavor and got sick all over the white carpet in my appartment. Any ideas on how to get a red stain out of my white carpet... help!! my landlord is coming next week!!!

There is some cleaner called Greased Lightning that works REALLY good on carpet stains-espescially on light/white colored carpets. I haven't had the misfortune of Seafood flavor cat vomit, but it got red marker stains out, and a multitude of others out of my carpet. Depending on the texture of the carpet, you will have to dab/blot, and maybe pour a small amount of hot water on it to dilute the stain that seeps down to the padding, then blot again. Rubbing and scrubbing should not be done unless and until you have just a faint stain left, because you will just spread the stain, and the more scrubbing you do the more it wears the carpet in that area, and it will still be noticable. They sell it in the cleaning supplies at Walmart or Family Dollar Stores, and it's less than $4 a bottle. It's also good at cleaning other surfaces, and it's even taken grease/oil stains out of my husband's jeans without discoloring them. Good stuff.

Q:We have this rug that's been washed over and over again and it still has SO much dust in it! I can't find where to find a rug beater and I really don't know how to get the dust out...can you help me??

Washing rugs can trap the dust into the fibers. What you need to do is find a way to release the dust. There are several types of rug chemical cleaners that can do that, which you can find at Home Depot. You should also hang your rug outside and whack it several times with a stick to remove any dust trapped in the pad, but make sure to stand so you don't end up covered with dust.Then get a vacuum with a strong suction capability and run it over it several times.
