Q:I have a Chinese rug and the pile is flat. Is there any way I can improve it.

MANY years ago I worked for Harrahs Hotel/Casino WHEN the carpet went FLAT they had us RAKE the carpet with a leave rake. Sounds weird but it works. I have always vaccumed then RAKED mine with a plastic rake I keep for INhouse only use.

Q:i've asked this question 3 times before, but it hasn't worked :(Red is booked in for a trace/blanket clip in a couple of days, and i was wondering if i would need to rug her up a little bit more? she is a thoroughbred chestnut (someone told me that chestnuts have thinner skin??) and is in a 100g fill w/ a neck rug atm....the coldest it has been lately would be about 10/11 degrees c....the next rug we have is a 250g fill with neck rug, so it's quite a step up...Um... yeah... would i need to start putting that on, or do you think she will be O.K??

Yes, I always add more rugs once clipped this year my boy had a 360g stable rug with neck and a fleece with neck under it most of the time. But it was going down to -12 some nights, if I'm not sure what weight to put on I usually put the heavier rug on then see how he is in the morning if he's to hot then I put a lighter weight rug on the next, he's pretty good at telling me when he's to hot though.

If lack careful carpet maintenance plan or just do an occasional maintenance, it is difficult to budget, the sum of the expenditure is usually more than the planned maintenance budget, the annual cost is lower, fiber

Q:I have talked to 4 companies about re-carpeting our home and all they can do is dog on other companies and say how they are the best. They all give contradicting advice. One guy said, quot;Stainmaster is just branding, use our r2x, it's better and cheaper.quot; One guy said quot;R2x, stain master... all a scam. All carpet is stain resistant these days.quot; And another guy said, quot;Stainmaster is the best!quot; We want a plush carpet that is stain resistant (we have a small dog). I don't care about having the best as I am carpeting my first home and won't be here forever. I also cannot find objective reviews on carpet brands. Why is this? I am starting to realize that the carpet industry is a very competitive business and how do I know that I am getting a quality product.

Stain Master is just a name. You pay a bit more for Stain Master because they advertise on T V .Almost all stain blockers are the same.They cover the same types of stains and you treat them the same. Like any product ,carpet is a competitive market so you will get competition. What you have to do is compare carpets from one place to another. Compare warranties,the weight of the carpet and the wear warranties. Once you compare apples to apples only you can get a fair judgment. Compare installation costs, is furniture moving and rip out of the old included? See in the installers are certified. This may cost a bit more but worth it. Non certified installers can some times void warranties. Not all carpets have stain blockers , most do but not all. Take all warranties with a grain of salt. This is always based on a pro rated system. Carpets will lose a bit every year. I myself preferred Mohawk. They stood behind their product, Any questions you can e mail me through my avatar. GL

Q:Last night we found our basement carpet soaked after a rainstorm---there was not standing water (until we pulled up the carpet and padding), but it was set enough to squish when you walk, etc. We pulled up the carpet and threw away the padding. We've been trying to dry it out with a fan, but it doesn't seem to be helping. What steps should we take to save the carpet? We really can't afford to replace it right now. Also, we live in Colorado, and there is almost no humidity. Thanks!

You don't salvage it, you throw it away! Mildew begin's soon after the water came in. You may not see the dampness, but when a pipe broke in my basement, a guy came with a meter was able to tell me where the wetness was even the walls had to come down. You need a dehumidifier no matter where you live! Good Luck!

Q:I have never in my life had a fireplace before, so we were lighting the pilot light on a gas fireplace in an apartment we just got the keys to today. Some black soot type stuff got onto the carpet so I (stupidly) proceeded to spray it with carpet cleaner and blot it! It spread everywhere, and now I don't know what to do. What can I use to get ground-in soot out of off white carpet? Thank you!

I had the same thing happen with cream colored nylon carpet and used Awesome cleaner from the Dollar store and an extractor. Awesome is an amber colored fluid that comes in a spray bottle, and the extractor is Bissell Little Green Clean Machine. Worked perfectly. Having a white carpet is a challenge.
