Q:Its 14 degrees but absolutely chucking it down. She's an irish draught x TB. She's not clipped.

What is she used to? My TB X Hanoverian is currently in the field with no rug on...I'm in North West England... and she's fine. But she's used to having no rug on, so it depends.

Q:Will leather carpets smell bad when they're put out for a long time?

There is, if in the mountains or coastal environment where moisture is relatively large, but also to open the market, so that the floor and the water on the leather volatile, otherwise, for a long time there is also possible to produce worms! If it is skin fiber, do not worry, it is impossible to produce worms, the odor will not be distributed, the room should be placed a bit of refreshing agent

Q:Is rubber mat needed for the carpet's stitching?

It is necessary. If you do not put the rubber pad, the ground will be very slippery, easy to walk type!

Q:I just dropped a candle on my light colored carpet and red candle wax is everywhere. Any ideas on how to remove it?

Place ice-cubes on the wax until the ice starts to melt then scrape away as much wax as possible with a blunt knife, then lay sheets of paper towel over the wax.Using a cool iron go over the area.If a greasy mark remains rub with a little tea tree oil. I would try it on a small section first as this is used on material so am not sure it will work on carpet.

Q:I have a rug that is handwoven from India. I am finding it hard to keep free of debri. When I used a vaccum little fuzzy things came up on a few spots of the rug. Any other ideas?

Handwoven and hand knotted are not the same thing. Flat rugs woven on a loom may be weft or warp faced (the back and forth or the up and down threads are predominately what you see.) Hand knotted rugs have each thread or yarn looped through a mesh backing and passed under itself to create a firm stable pile. Stiff bristles abrade carper fiber, especially flat woven rugs. This is true whether the bristles are stationary in a straight suction tool or on a spinning roller. Carpet professionals will tell you not to use a 'beater bar' on a fine rug. A brushroll IS NOT A BEATER BAR, though it is mislabeled in parts inventories, vacuum manuals and catalogs all the time. A brushroll may HAVE a beater bar as part of its construction. A beater bar is a bar that spirals around the roller so a different point contacts the carpet at each instant. The best beater bars were metal, and smooth. There was no way for them to damage a rug because the bristles were soft. The famous Hoover slogan It Beats as it Sweeps as it Cleans was an accurate description of the cleaner's functioning. These vacuum cleaners were designed to clean hand-knotted rugs. It is the only type of rug people had, except for lightweight rag rugs. Sadly, beater bars have fallen into disuse, primarily because people are no longer educated about vacuum cleaners, and purchase them on the basis of color, price, styling, and amps. If you can acquire an old Hoover, grab it. If you do nothing but clean your Asian rugs with it, it will be worth it. Kirby makes a soft bristle roller brush that is made for delicate carpets. If you have a Kirby and wish to use it on delicate rugs, you would do well to purchase a second rug nozzle (used) and keep the delicate roller brush installed in it to avoid switching the brush all the time.

Q:Is professionally cleaning a FILTHY carpet enough or should it just be replaced?I am moving into a house with a FILTHY carpet. Truly disgusting, just nasty. The house stinks bad because of it. The landlord says he will get it professionally cleaned. I would rather have all the carpet taken out and replaced...or some other flooring put in. Is professionally cleaning a carpet that great of an idea? Does it only get the top surface clean..or does it clean deep down?

If the carpet never cleaned in years it's better to replace it, odors may come from the pad under the carpet even after clean the carpet. Also check the floor under the carpet.

Q:how do remove pizza stains from the carpet

You need: 1 c. water 1 tsp. dishwashing liquid 1 tsp. hydrogen peroxide Mix together the water, dishwashing liquid and peroxide. Soak a clean, white cloth in the solution. Rub the cloth over the pizza stain repeatedly until the stain is gone. If the stain is on a piece of clothing, you can rub the stain until it is mostly gone, and then continue to the next step. Wash the item in the washing machine as you normally would.

Q:it rained and water got in my carpet . it is humid/wet it smells bad how do i wash the carpet?

Rent a steam cleaner and purchase white vinegar. Sprinkle baking soda all over the humid wet carpet. let is soak into the carpet. Then using the steam cleaner and white vinegar start using the steam cleaner and try to soak up most all of the wetness. If you have a carpet padding under the carpet you will need to roll up the carpet and hang it over a dry area outside or in the garage to totally dry. As for the carpet padding you will need to try to suck out the wetness from that too and get it dry. Even using old towels will help. If you can also pull the padding up it will dry better too. When both the padding and carpet is dry. Sprinkle baking soda on the floor after it is cleaned and then lay the carpet padding back down. Sprinkle more baking soda down over the padding so this will help kill any bacteria and smells. Replace the carpet and vacuum the carpet and it should have taken care of the wet carpet and smells. However the carpet got wet it should be fixed that it will not happen again. Carpets and padding don't last long after so much water has set into the carpet and padding. That is why it should be thoroughly dry before putting them back down on the floor. Yes this sounds like a lot of work, and it is but the water needs to be completely out of the floor and padding, and carpeting to last as long as you can keep it in good condition. It will also help your floors to not mold.

Q:How easy and sensible is it to lay a new carpet over an old one? How would you do this?I cannot rip the current one out as I am renting

Q:what is the best product to take out ground in dirt and pet messes my carpet is supposed to be green....its black in a majority of spots, and hard in other spots!i mean it doesnt have to be like 100 percent every stain taken outjust so it doesnt look so nasty, and i can actually have people over without them thinking im a slob,because im the complete opposite. my fiancee and and dont have the money right now to have all the carpet replacedand the previous owners (his family) obviously didnt care about the carpet, or cleaning for that matter.any help would be much appreciated.Thanks!

Try this put a tiny pit of dish soap in bucket of warm water saturate spot. then rinse and blot. then make a 50/50 mix of vinegar and water saturate and rinse and blot and let dry. I know it sound difficult but it doesn't take long and works great on spots and animal accidents. I used it to clean up the accidents when housebreaking our dog and there is no more smell or spots.
