Q:What is the name of the mat laid under the office carpet?

There is generally a layer of sponge pad or rubber pad or pearl cotton pad beneath carpet. Diamond carpet does not need a mat uunder it, directly sticked on the ground by glue.

Q:I have a new rug, 6 months old at this point, that constantly sheds. There's 'rug dust' all over the house. It sticks to my daughters feet and even ends up in her diapers. Does anyone have suggestions on how to minimize this problem. We love the rug and do not want to get rid of it.

I would take it to a rug cleaner and let them clean residual rug fuzzies out to their best ability. Some rugs will shed even after having this done, but this will eliminate a lot of the fuzzies. Vacuum frequently, daily for a while.

Q:I don't have one yet. I'm new to this. Why do we need a rug anyways?

Yes, you can definitely use a yoga mat. A rug or mat is not actually essential for prayers, the whole point of it is that where you put your head when prostrating must be clean. Feel free to use a whatever you like to pray on or just pray on the bare floor.

Q:We have off white carpet (which is now brown and stained) that is 10 years old. We have two toddlers (more to come) and 3 dogs. The dogs come in from outside right onto the carpet. I am looking for a flooring solution that will meet our needs. I expect our future holds many more carpet stains so I am looking into carpet tiles for our family room. I know, not pretty but functional. What do you all think? Are there some higher quality carpet tiles whereby our family room won't look like cheap office carpet? We don't want tile and we do not want laminate as we need soft floor for dogs and kids. Real hardwood would be nice but price prohibitive. Please let me know if you have any experience with carpet tile and what your general outlook on carpet tile/squares is. P.S. when we sell the house we would go ahead and put in new quot;realquot; carpet before we move.

There are some VERY NICE carpets sold in squares. You can't even tell that they're squares. I think your logic is sound.

Q:My dog keeps peeing on a particular spot on a wool area rug in the dining room. Im sick of getting the thing cleaned and want to replace it. Any ideas on a floor covering that's not all soft and cushy and tempting for the dog to pee on? Is there a rubber-based rug or anything of the sort on the market?

This is an adult dog she's talking about not a puppy. I agree on removing the rug. I have three dogs who usually go outside to pee but occasionally will pee on my dining room area rug. I'm planning to remove the rug and go with the hardwood bare floor instead. They do go on pee pads too so unfortunately don't find much difference between a pad and a rug. I'm still looking for a rug they won't find attractive. They don't pee on my living room rug.

Q:Can I use a fabric dye (RIT), and just paint it on the 3quot; wide border? Want to change from present light blue to dark brown.jackie

I have worked with Rit dyes quite frequently and although they are good dies for natural fibers, I am not sure painting a boarder will net the results you desire. First of all, the dye has to be mixed with salt. Because you will not be able to rinse and spin the dye out of he rug, that salt will just remain in your rug when the dye has dried. This may leave salt crystals in your rug along with making it quite stiff. And,because the dye is wet, it will certainly bleed outside of the boarders of the rug. Another problem is the dye bleeding onto the floor causing permanent damage. Even if you can jump over these obstacles, the dye will remain in the rug, full strength because it can not be rinsed and spun out, so it can easily transfer the color from the rug to your shoes to other areas of the house. And, heaven forbid, if the rug gets wet at a later date it will reactivate the dye and boy I will hear you cursing from here. So, you see, using this type of dying process is really full of challenges and there is too much to go wrong so I do not think it is worth the risk. However, there may be other dyes I am unaware of. Do an internet search on dyes and also rug dying to get some helpful hints and possible products that will net you the results you are after. I have lots of resources that I will check on and edit my answer if I get more information.

Q:The original carpet in the house is now trying to remove the carpet glue

Hand cream. First, the surface of the printed products tear off, and then put some hand cream on top, slowly rub with your thumb, rub for a while, you can rub the residual gum are rubbed down. Just slow down. Hand cream is a kind of grease, which is not compatible with gum. Remove glue is to use this characteristic.

Q:The carpet in my living room is looking worn out due to heavy traffic. If I get it professionally cleaned, will it help make the carpet look newer?

It would look somewhat newer but it will still probably look worn down. sorry):

Q:I had roofs leaks in my 2 bedrooms (hurricane related) and filed an insurance claim. they covered replacing the carpet in the 2 bedrooms but NOT replacing the hallway and stairs' carpet because that was not damaged. The carpet is 10+ years old so of course i am replacing it all. I think it should be consider all one item, they say that because there is a 'break' between the room and the hallway, their practice is to only replace the damaged carpet -- though this is not defined in the policy. The new carpet is totally diff color. Has anyone had any experience with this? I have total replacement cost and it is State farm.

They do not owe to replace all the carpet. They would pay only for the room. Just because the carpet was damaged in one or two rooms does note mean they will pay to re-carpet the whole house. The purpose of insurance is to put you back where you were, Since you had 10yo carpet they owe you 10yo carpet. However, purchasing 10yo carpet is not an option - so they purchase new. Some policies apply depreciation to carpet. If they paid to put new carpet in the non-damaged areas, they are putting you in a better position after the loss than you were in before. And your policy does limit the coverage to the damaged areas. Most like there is language in it that says something like: We insure against direct physical loss to property described in Coverages A and B. The damaged carpet was damaged by a direct physical loss. The hall way carpet was not damaged. There is no direct physical loss. Additionally, your policy has language in it that says they don't owe you an exact decorative match. Here's another way to think about it- you damage your car and the fender and front bumper cover has to be replaced. Do you think they are going to paint your entire car? No. They pay to paint the damaged areas. So- your options are to replaced the damaged areas only and leave the old carpet in the hall. Or, go ahead and take State Farm's money and replace the damaged carpet and pay out of pocket to do the hall as well.
