Q:My son dropped the mustard jar it exploded.....It's pink plush carpeting now it has yellow orange streaks....How do I get it out?

There are lots of carpet cleaners that will get the stain out, but the one that I can always rely on is the Rug Doctor Carpet Cleaner. It's like a vacuum that sucks up the stains! And not only can you use it on the mustard stain, but you can use it on your whole carpet. It's probably your only hope right now, because mustard dyes carpet for good. You can find one at Home Depot, Lowes, Bloom, or Shoppers Food Warehouse. Satisfaction guaranteed. Best of luck!!! ?

Q:Wet Basement Rug Mystery

Chris, Look directly above where that rug is or was (overhead) Do you see any kind of a slow leak or evidence of a leak anywhere around there overhead that is dripping down onto the floor? That would be my guess. Good luck

Q:We bought our house 2 months ago. We didn't mind the carpet. It is very nice carpet. However, the house was built in 1955 and has origional hardwood floors under the carpet. Here is the problem... it looks like there are hardwoods, a new sub floor and the carpet. My concern is that removing the sub floor will ruin the floors under. What has your expirance been?

After having just removed the carpeting in my house, I can tell you this: if they put a subfloor on top of hardwood, there was something wrong with the hardwood. It is not necessary in order to lay carpet. Padding and tack boards are all that are needed--which really don't ruin the hardwood. (You may want to fill a few nail holes from the tack strips.) Lots of houses have hardwood that is only finished around the edges--if you pull up the subfloor and find unfinished board flooring, that's one reason they laid the subfloor. Another reason might be that there was bad damage to the hardwood which made it uneven. A finished hardwood floor rarely needs subfloor for carpeting unless it is damaged or otherwise totally unusable as hardwood flooring. Since your house was built in 1955, it could have very badly damaged floors. There is only one way to check that--pull up the carpet in a corner, and the subfloor under that--and check. If the floors are not damaged, then the only damage will be from nail holes--which can be filled, sanded and revarnished.

Q:its brand new.. but it smells awful.. like a burnt popcorn/broken vacuum smell.i tried to let it air out for days .. not working.. and its too heavy to bring otuside.. its very light colored.. is it okay to ripe it down with soap and water and a rag?? will the soap do anything to the rug?and is there a better option? to wash it with

The best way to keep a rug clean is to keep it from getting dirty in the first place. Removing outdoor shoes when entering the house (as people do in most rug-weaving countries) is a good idea if this accords with your lifestyle. Bare-foot or sock-foot traffic is much gentler to a rug than a hard outdoor-shoe sole (or spike heel), and leaving your outdoor shoes at the entrance to the house tracks in much less dirt. Be aware that it is not advised to use carpet shampoos or sprays! **************************************... Carpet shampoos if not rinsed out thoroughly, usually end up attracting more dirt, and with carpet shampooing machines (especially ones with several brushes) care must be taken to avoid damage to your area rugs. Know that if you do plan to shampoo your carpet yourself you should first sweep or brush the carpet so that the nap stands up and loosens any embedded dirt. Then vacuum. By doing this, the carpet might look clean enough so that you could delay shampooing it. Neutralize odors by sprinkling a mixture of 1 cup Borax and 2 cups cornmeal. Allow to stand for an hour before vacuuming. You can also use commercially available fragrance powders for vacuums they might work too. You can sprinkle baking powder all over the carpet.The longer you leave the baking soda on the floor, the better it will clean and freshen the carpet up. It cleans up the area where the smell originated and stops it from getting in the air. Hope you are able to get rid of the smell with no harm to the carpet!! Good Luck !!

Q:I bought two new rugs and one of my cats has already peed on one of them. I spanker her and told her no and rubbed her nose in it. Is this a good way to train her or can I do something else? This cat destryed a previous rug by peeing on it.

First of all ... does the cat / kitten already have a litter box? If so ... then you should take a hint ... maybe the kitten is passing judgement on your taste in rugs! LOL !!! Anyway...spray with white vinegar, eliminates any prior odor , as well as deterring the cat /dog from going potty there anymore. If you catch the kitty in the act, gently pick him/her up and take him/her to his/her litter box and gently put him/her there. EVERY TIME YOU CATCH him/her. The repetition will there in create a pavlov's dog effect. Vinegar is the best way to deter the cat from *going* on the rug.

Q:Any time it rains my carpet feels damp..(no leaks) I have a brick home...Any suggestions?

I had the same problem in sevral apartments. The problem always starts outside and ends up in your home. If you have it checked Ill bet you will find a problem with your gutters being too full of leaves. If so there is nowhere for the water to go but through any gap space or hole in your exterior wall. Now the water is in your home. It then drains down between your interior and exterior wall to where your interior wall and floor meet (there is always a gap there) and gradually over time without you even noticing you have a wet carpet. HERE IS THE BIGGER PROBLEM. Since this goes on behind the walls I gaurantee you now have MOLD growing behind your walls. This can make you very sick. Clean your gutters and have a company like gutter guard replace them and find the space that the water is getting in and close it up. Next get yourself a dehumidifier, pock a few small holes in the bottom of wall near where the carpet is wet and leave it running for a few days (empty it as it fills with water.) hope this helps

Q:i want to put in some new carpet in these two small rooms about 3x3 each how much around would it be? plus to be installed by someone

The standard price to install carpeting is about $3. 00-$4. 00/square foot. This only includes the installation of the carpet and not a carpet pad, which costs an extra $0. 50/square foot. Carpet installers will also remove old carpeting for about $0. 50/square foot.These would all be minimum prices and could increase depending on the type of carpet you wish to install ask at your local carpet store as they sometimes have a list of contractors that could do the work for you and this would give you a better idea ok,good luck.
