Turnout rugs are usually waterproof and have leg straps to keep them from getting shifted when the horse runs and plays.

Q:This might be a stupid question. But I'm about to buy carpet and I need to know how many sq. feet I need. I need to get a 16x20 piece of carpet and the prices go per sq. footage. so, How much sq.footage is 16x20? thanks.

You need 320 s/f butttttttt..... Carpet comes mainly in 12 and 15 foot wide so depending on how you room is laid out with its walking patterns etc is how its laid and seamed. Generaly a seam will be on the furthest wall away from all traffic. Again if your carpet comes 15 foot ( some do some only comes 12 foot wide) you ll you ll need extra carpet for a seam . You ll be scraping out some so you ll have to get more than 320 s/f GL

Q:We found a really nice area rug in a storage but it somehow got wet and moldy, can it be cleaned? I have it laid out outside to completely dry out, would a carpet shampooer clean it, is there anything special I should use?

You should look in the yellow pages for your area for a rug cleaning company that does area rugs. I know of a couple of places like this in San Diego, where you bring in the area rug (any size, really), and they hang it up on a big scaffold and clean it with pressure washers. I don't know how much it costs, but they always seem to be busy. So, it can't be that expensive.

Q:My daughter is 4 and right now she just has a big piece of loose carpet (not even fitted to the room) over linoleum. We plan on putting in different flooring, and I'm thinking of carpet tiles. Is this a good choice for a kid's room?What are some pros and cons with both carpet and carpet toilet?

Carpet tiles over full carpet. The carpet in my childhood bedroom has silly putty stuck in it, marker stains, nailpolish stains, paint spills, you name it. Carpet tiles are good for young kids because you can REPLACE them. Accidents happen, kids are messy and getting someone to clean your carpet is expensive. This also gives you the option to change the flooring when your daughter gets older if she wants something different. Picking up carpet tiles is cheaper then hiring someone to take out old carpet and install new.

Q:good loom for rugs and placemats?

I didn't go to your links, but Schacht looms are some of the best made. I would really like to have a 2- harness Schacht to make rugs with! I have a 4-harness LeClerc and it is heavy enough to do what I want all the way from rugs to fine fabrics. I suggest you get some of those link together mats to put under your loom to prevent walking and to dampen the banging we get when making rugs!! Dust vacs work well to get up the lint we make. Enjoy your new loom as much as I enjoy my antique LeClerc! (it has a 4 digit serial number!)

Q:So, i have lived in the same house for about...7 years. i never really took care of my carpet. i threw wet towels on the ground... and never dried anything that spilled. well i think i am paying for it, because my room smells like booty. and now my carpet gets wet in some spots by itself...like no spills or anything, its just wet.do i need a new carpet?

Two matters. First, dry out the carpet. Use a gentle mist of watered down bleach in a twig bottle. As lengthy as this is a susceptible resolution it is going to no longer impact the carpet colour. Spray frivolously at the field that's rainy. If you'll be able to carry the carpet up and get an historical towel beneath all of the greater. Since I have no idea how rainy it's I am suggesting that you simply use a fan or a hair dryer and stick with it till it's bone dry. Keeping it dry will support to preclude extra mould from forming. Once it's dry take away the towel, of path. Secondly, as soon as all is dry, use a bathtub mat with whilst you get out of the bathtub. After your tub or bathe, prefer it up and dangle it over the bathtub or bathe so it may well dry in among bathing. Also do not forget to launder it generally. It is quality to have carpet in the toilet, however the water difficulty is the challenge. You might additionally dry off within the bath earlier than exiting in case you hate the tub mat suggestion. Don't put out of your mind your ft! :-)

Q:I have a brown sofa, light oak floor, blue floral accented curtains and sea foam walls, white ceiling, with creamy/ white trim. I have no idea what i should do i have a burgundy and cream shag rug that's kinda a woven pattern that i think looks good but i don't have a very good eye for matching colors.

Beige, try it, I just bought one for my room.

Q:What good is a carpet?

Carpet water absorption, usually careless cup of water spilled on the ground, does not matter.

Q:I have a large oriental rug that needs fringe. On one end, the fringe has been cut off completely. The other end has a few inches of the mesh rug backing at the end. Is there a way to add fringe and make it look fairly original to the rug?

Sure you can. The most authentic method would be to use a 2-ply wool yarn and a darning needle. Pull them through in the right place, carefully putting 2 loops in each hole of the mesh. Use a piece of cardboard about 4 inches high and the width of your rug to keep your loops even. When you get to the end, go back over the spots where your loops come through the rug and use a backstitch to catch the thread of the first with a thread of the second...anchor it...do the same thing to do the thread of the second (which is part of your first tie) to the thread of the third. Keep going until they're all anchored. Then if you want cut fringe, go back over your threads and tie them a second time about 1/2 lower than where they're sewn down. Once your little pairs are tied, snip the bottoms open. The other option won't look as authentic, but it works. You can buy lengths of fringe in the trim section of a good fabric store. Buy a length that's about 5 longer than you need for each end (so you have enough to turn under at each end). Stitch it down by hand as no machine will sew well through a rug. Use a little Fray Stay or superglue on the ends to keep them from unraveling.
