Looking for info on rugs safavieh, home dynamix rugs, oriental area rug, gabbeh persian rugs and more?

I just bought a mid-century, modern home with a formal living room having a charcoal slate floor with a random pattern. After closing, I moved the area rug in the center of the room to discover a 9′ x 12′ gap covered by plywood! The mosaic floor is old, worn and custom designed…so matching the design would be nearly impossible. An area rug is okay, but are there any other options?

I just recently discovered that my dachshund has been peeing on my shag rug. How can I clean this. it is an area rug, so i can’t just throw it in the washer. I don’t want to throw it away because it took me forever to find this particular color rug. any suggestions.

I have a four month old puppy. She is not completely potty broke yet but almost. In my living room there are old poop stains and in my Dining room there are set in urine stains. I have cleaned them both with dawn and soap but they are not coming out. And my house is really starting to smell. Febreeze isnt working. Will the Woolite Rug stick work to clean these area’s of the stains and smell. Thank You Guys

What can I place under a rug so it stays in place? We have two rugs on carpet, both in heavily traveled areas. How do we get them to stay in place? Thanks in advance!

Okay I have an 8 by 10 area rug on my hard wood floor that needs to be immaculately cleaned!
I have a three year old and two small dogs so there are stains but my main concern is we got one of our dogs as a pup a couple months ago and it peed all over the carpet so ounce he was potty trained I rented a carpet cleaner which didn’t even work on the stains or the smell, and about a week ago I babysat a friends dog and her 4 five week old puppies for a couple days……well as you can guess my house now smells like pee even with me trying to keep up with them by cleaning the spots with natures miracle and simple solution extreme. also i don’t want to get rid of the rug if I can save it because it was very expensive and i like it
SO this is what im thinking, Ill take the rug outside and lay it on my tarp, hose it wet than poor tide laundry detergent all over it and scrub it with a cleaning brush than hose it off and hang it on my chain link fence to dry? does anyone think this will work? are there any other strong product you would recommend? or a different way to get it completely clean??? thanks!

I am going to be using a black rob for the windows so i need some ideas for the colors to use Thank you so much.

I have 6 week old kittens I found outside covered in fleas. I have since gotten rid of the problem on the kittens and treated my area rugs (short pile) with a mixture of BORAX and salt. (a flea remedy I found here and on many other sites) It worked great and I was very careful to make sure all the excess powder was vaccummed up entirely before I let the kittens back in the room. Well, since that day I have to vaccum everyday because the BORAX keeps working its way up to the surface of the rug. I am scared the kittens might ingest a little of the BORAX if I can’t get it vacummed in time. It is always only a very small amount of granuals that work their way to the surface…BUT I AM SCARED! Has anyone tried this method and how long until the BORAX works itself all the way out of the carpet? Can the kittens handle a little of it or none at all?
I am not asking how to get rid of fleas. If you read my question I said the fleas are gone already……My question was about BORAX. Please dont copy and paste extremely long answers from some other website…..It just takes up space!

what is area of rug after you determine the length

Looking for a pretty specific shade of green to match my babies nursery. So far I only checked at Walmart, but they didn’t have ANY green rugs at all (except bathroom rugs which are too small) so I’m wondering if this is going to be a harder search then I thought.

Any suggestions on where to find an area rug for cheap (under ). Thanks!!!!

i found an area rug by a dumpster and i cleaned it up but it had to be hosed down. it came out looking new but its very flimsy since the backing got broken down from the cleaning. is there a product or a way to make it stiff again?
is’nt there some sort of glue i can spread on the backing of the rug that will stiffin it the way a new rug is?
