How much warmer does a carpet make a room verses a floor?
We are refurbishing our sun room because the pipe froze then burst. The wife wants to take the heating out and put floors in and only make it a 3 season room. I don’t mind the floor, but I want the heat restored. However, if we have the heat restored then we should have the carpet put back in instead of the carpet.

Who would have a carpet versus a floor put in?

Who would take the heat out or keep it in?

My mother in law spilled a cup of coffee on my white carpet a while back. I have just had my carpets cleaned by a professional, and forgot to ask about the stain. Its not horrible, but I notice it when I look for it.

How to remove an old coffee stain from carpet?

Ms Cool asked:

We just bought a home with a plush white carpet. The previous owner had a large rug on the carpet. When she removed the rug, it left a large, yellow stain that I presume is either rubber or glue. Any suggestions (especially real-life experience) with removing this type of stain? Thanks!

GMR asked:

The rug does lays down and doesn’t roll back up, it just keeps “crinkling” up and Ill pull it to straighten it out and 5 min. later its all wrinkly again……it lays on carpet, what can I do?

Jen D asked:

I just ripped up a carpet in my new apartment. Underneath the carpet foam was hardwood flooring which was covered in sticky black gooey stuff. It seemed like old glue. I was able to get it up by rubbing it with my finger, but who wants to do that to the entire floor?!? When I tried wetting it, it just turned more sticky….it was like it was water resistant or something! Any suggestions?

Joe S asked:

I’m thinking of making a scratching post for my cats, say a diameter of 50 cm, and about half an inch thick and I’m wondering how to carpet the top platform without getting lots of folds in the carpet when I fold it around the shape.

I built a speaker box, but now the last step is to carpet it. I have the materials, but I dont know how to make the corners look the clean. The box is basically a rectangular prism, but the sides are on the outside of the box like a cap. (they are as big as the max dimensions of the box. I say this because most people build their box so their sides are “within” the box, as opposed to mine which are put on the outside and are the last pieces to be glued to the box)

It looks similar to this, minus the sides:

I am NOT carpeting the sides, but painting them to add some contrasting color. So, how do I make the seam between the faces of the box and the sides look nice?

My dad said to just wrap the fabric around the edges so it goes inside the box, then attach the sides. But, I feel that this will compromise the structural integrity of the box. It has to be strong for two 12 inch subwoofers.

Savage Henry asked:

My new home has forest green carpet, white walls and honey wood cabinets and accents throughout. I don’t want to paint so I will keep the white walls. I am a single middle aged man. Does anyone have suggestions on a 3rd or 4th color for the couches rugs and accessories.
