Susan G asked:

This is a new area rug, paprika in color with a really nice design. We are not sure what the source of the odor is. We think it is the wool or the rug backing. The rug was made in India. The odor is not from our cat. The rug smelled right away.

girlbomber1 asked:

I have a 3 year old female cockapoo that is mostly housebroken. She will not pee inside the house, she waits to be taken outside but she will poo poo inside. However, she only poops on carpet, if there isn’t any carpet available, she will wait to go outside. Apparently she knows that what she is doing is bad because she runs from me afterward. So does anyone have any ideas about teaching her the difference between carpet and grass?

on a limb asked:

We just put hardwood flooring down on our entire main floor. It’ s beautiful now, but I need to put a carpet down that is durable and waterproof to a point. We have a huge entrance with a16′ ceiling and I don’t want to make it look tacky, but I can’t help thinking practical ‘cuz I don’t want it to be ruined in a month. We live in a cold climate with lots of snow in winter and rain in spring.

We have a berber carpet in our condo and it is getting rather unattractive from all of the traffic in and out of the house. The carpet cleaning machine I have doesn’t even touch the surface of this carpet. How can I get this rug bright and white again?

In Chicago airport, I noticed the custodial sweeping the carpet with this stick thing, which required no electricity. It seemed as effective as a vacuum cleaner. What is it called and where can I get one?
Does it work well?

desilu asked:

I am wanting to redo my bedroom. The carpets are a dark green. My sheets are a blush color and comforter white. I don’t know what color to paint the walls. I don’t want to pull up the carpet and I really like my sheets. Any suggestions? Also in our bathroom around the sink is a dark green and I want to repaint it also but if I do yellow it would look john deerish and if I did red itd be too christmasy. Any ideas here?

How can I get the water out of the carpet?

Evelyn asked:

It’s been raining a lot lately and water is leaking onto the floor in my basement. Unfortunately, it’s carpeted. I turned the dehumidifier on high, but it isn’t helping. I tried soaking it up with towels, but it just keeps coming. There aren’t any puddles, just wet carpet and it’s travelling across the floor. Any thoughts that don’t involve ripping out the carpet?

What type of carpet pad will reduce impact and airborn sound transmission?

MB asked:

We live in an apartment where we can hear everything above us (footsteps, talking, cell phones vibrating, etc.). Our landlords claim to have installed a carpet with padding in the room above us, but there is no difference in sound transmission. Does anyone know specifically what type of padding should be used to reduce these noises? It is currently impossible to sleep or relax in our apartment and we have another five months before our lease is up. I would like specifics to take to the rental company so we can get something that will actually work.
