Q:So, I m moving to an apartment that has totally outdated carpet. I want to change it, but obviously I can t being that it is an apartment I m renting. Are there any other options, other than buying a giant rug? Also, what are carpet tiles? I ve heard that they re cheaper than actual carpet, but do they require installation? Are they permanent? DIY people, help!!

You will not be happy about how these look if you put them over existing carpet and they are typically NOT cheaper than regular carpet. Your best bet is probably just big area rugs on top of existing carpet to define areas of use like living area, dining area, etc.

Q:Our dog peed on the bathroom rug while I was taking my brother somewhere and I have no idea what to do. Apparently it's made out of 100% polyester, and I can't put it in the washing machine because I have absolutely no clue how to use it.

Just hand wash it and air-dry it outside.

Q:Does anybody have a recipe for home made carpet cleaner for a steam cleaner?Thanks

I recommend professional cleaning but if youre just hard headed and insist on a home brew here ya go...If your carpet is synthetic material(nylon, polyester, olefin) depending on the type of soiling, Tide will work excellent, but dilute dilute dilute. Only use 1 drop to 5 gallons of water. With that, add 2 cups of 30volume hydrogen peroxide(can be found at sally's beauty supply for $3 a quart). If your carpet is natural fiber such as wool, dont be a cheap a$$, get it professionally cleaned. If you need something to spot clean you need some thing on the acid side of the pH scale, equal parts of vinegar and water will work fine. It will stink when you use it, but when it dries the smell will go away.

Q:The tar has been on the carpet for four months

There is a poduct called Goof-Off. Works for tar, gum, paint, and other sticky type things. It works well, and doesn't have too bad of an odor. It is nice to keep around the house. Comes in an orange spray bottle and is pretty easy to find.

Q:I understand that my knee-skin was torn/burnt in one direction or another all at once...but why does it hurt so bad?

your skin is sensitive. your skin chafes with the rug, causing friction which burns

Q:They say quot;dry clean onlyquot; but I have been told that this is not the case. Does anybody know if a Rug Dr will work? They are camel colored.

No Way! Using a Rug Dr. would be a great way to ruin your couches. Call the store you bought them from or a reputable carpet cleaning company(one that has been in business a long time/and is insured).

Q:Who has the glue formula for laying the carpet?

Production process:The water is added to the reaction pot, the temperature is raised to 70 DEG C, and then slowly added to the polyvinyl alcohol, and the temperature is increased to 90~95 DEG C, so that the PVA is completely dissolved.Cooling the polyvinyl alcohol solution to 80~85 DEG C, dropping hydrochloric acid, stirring for 20 minutes, adding formaldehyde for condensation, takes about 60 minutes.After cooling and adjusting the pH value, adding urea for amino treatment, after sampling and passing the test, the pH was transferred to neutral, and the temperature was reduced to 40~50 DEG C and the material was discharged.

Q:We are getting the carpet throughout the house redone. We had planned on a high quality laminate, but apparently our floors slope too much for that. Now we have to go with carpet. I fear a berber throughout will look too industrial, not homey enough. My husband feels like flush style looks like apartments he had in the 70s. The carpet salesman is recommending the same carpet in the whole 3 floor house. We have spill-prone kids, but no pets. any recommendations? we want it to look nice, but don't really know where to go from here.

A plush or a textured carpet ( I like textured since its hard to see footprints and vacuum marks) Either of those work well to give you a warm homey feeling. As far as the kids and spilling , I suggest a pad that won t allow moisture to go through . These are commonly call pet proof pads. Not allowing the moisture to seep all the way down to the wood subfloor, you prevent possible mold and its easier to get any liquids back though the carpet and this prevents restaining for from wicking. Any questions you can e mail me through my avatar. GL

Q:Is there a formula that you can tell how many feet are on a roll of Carpet without having to unroll and measure it?

1. assume d carpet is so tightly rolled dat it can b treated as a right circular cylinder 2. let the radius of this rolled carpet be R width W, then volume V = pi*R^2*W 3. measure thickness of carpet accurately, say = t then V = W*t*L 4 equating the two, W*t*L = pi*R^2*W or L = pi*R^2 / t u don't hv 2 measure d width, only R t [ actually, better 2 measure D use R = D/2 ] happy new year !!!
