Hi guys,

I need to get one of those sponge carpet for kids.

for ex, they are mostly used for kids and sometimes they come in puzzle shape but you can still use it as carpet.

I do not need those kiddy sponge carpets,

I need just black sponge carpet and I can’t seem to find it anywhere,

do you know where to get those?

thought they would see it at target or walmart but not sure

please help

I vacuum my car at least 4 times a week and I’m tired of paying at gas stations and different car washes.

I’m looking to buy a vacuum cleaner that would clean my carpets nicely and get in to those hard to reach places. like the side of the seats stuff like that.

Any ideas on what kinda vacuum I should buy something a detailer might use. I’m willing to pay up to 300 dollars for a resonable vacuum cleaner.

Thanks!!

I bought a Doublewide mobile home in an auction, and paid for the moving. When they moved it, they put back together the 2 halves of the house, but said the contract does not include putting together the 2 halves of the carpet on the floor or closing the gaps of the roof and doors.They closed the gaps of doors and roof at no charge after we complained that we were not told this. They said they do not do the carpets. I don’t think it’s hard but I don’t know how to do it and I don’t have much money left. Thank you.

I am just not sure which one to get. I have narrowed it down to five. The only one I have ever bought broke after 2 uses and we returned it. I need something that is reliable and works really well with pet and kid stains in carpets. Here is what I have:

I would ask at a store, I just don’t want to be misled with the sales pitches. I just want an effective and reliable machine. Any suggestions?

In February 2011 my boyfriend bought a seven week golden retriever. From Feb. to the end of May they spent every weekend at my new home (I am Canadian and he is American). During this time the puppy urinated and defecated on all my wool hand stitched area rugs causing a great deal of staining. The pup also chewed on my pedestal dining room table and the rungs of three of the six dining room chairs and 2 of my four counter chairs. She also ripped/tore a number of clothes and ate two pairs of my shoes and urinated on two brand new bedspreads. She was housed in a large crate at night but while we were home she was allowed to be with us.

The last week of May I offered to watch the pup while my boyfriend prepared his boat for the water. This generous offer turned into almost three full weeks until I finally took the pup home myself. During these three weeks she continued to damage my property by chewing on my headboard, ate my prescription glasses and cell phone along with other miscellaneous damage.

Initially my boyfriend said he would pay to have my carpets cleaned (and even dropped them off for me over a month ago at a reputable rug cleaning service in Michigan). The price for the cleaning escalated as they had to treat the carpets for urine stains over and above the normal cleaning cost. He also originally stated he would pay for my furniture repairs which I paid 0.00 to have done. He never agreed to pay for my phone or eyeglasses as he said I shouldn’t have left them out for her to get. Granted they were on my bathroom vanity and kitchen counter respectively, but he claimed it was still my fault.

In total I have ,150.00 in property damage to which he now states he is not responsible for. This entire situation has pretty much ended our relationship of a year as I truly believe as the Registered Dog Owner he is Responsible for these damages.

If he is in fact responsible – it appears my only avenue to recover the cost of damage is through small claims court in Michigan. Sadly money is not an issue as he spends the entire summer on his 40 foot sailboat and has a great pension. I have told him numerous times that I would be willing to negotiate a fair settlement with him, but he now won’t even accept my phone calls and I’m stuck paying for a rental truck to pick up my eight carpets in Michigan.

Any Advice would be greatly appreciated!

little children are made to work 18 hours a day to produce carpets. They dont go to school, and are in slavery

will you still buy carpets ?

ex muslim / free thinker

I have a friend who created some bleach marks on some carpet. I really want to help him out with the lowest coast to him. I am citified to do installations and repairs on carpets, vinyl, and hardwood. But I do not have the skill to dye carpet. I was looking into kits they have for sale online. Can anybody tell me some of the pros and cons of dye jobs and if it’s really hard to do? I like to start doing dye jobs as part of my business. Does anybody have information on the best kits to purchase?

we have 2 cats. we adopted them from a shelter 3 years ago. they get along well, but we can’t break them from scratching different surfaces.

the male: scratches couch arms, under doorways, and sheer curtains
the female: scratches rugs/carpets and window sills in an attempt to pull herself into the window

we have expecting our first baby and don’t want the cats wrecking the nursery by clawing the glider, decorative rug, curtains, and window sills. we have tried consistently for 3 yrs to use:

- citrus-scented spray on the furniture made to detract cats
- reprimands
- pet gates (they jump over them)
- trimming their nails

we don’t want to have to leave the door closed, because i want to be able to hear if the baby is crying (without always lugging the monitor around). also, if my hands are full with the baby, a cat will easily be able to squeeze in while i open the door and enter. if there is a gate and i’m carrying the baby, i’ll have to juggle baby while trying to undo the gate one-handed.

i don’t want to send our cats back to the shelter. any suggestions?
our contract from the shelter stipulates that we won’t declaw the cats because it is inhumane. i also researched it. it’s expensive (00+ per cat) and requires multiple anti-infection treatments every day for a month.
we tried dbl-sided tape on the kitchen counters and spray bottles. neither worked. the tape didn’t both the male enough to get off the counter and neither did the bottles. the female was easier to correct, but the male is very big and stubborn.

im trying to find where i ca buy those plastic carpets that are clear, does anyone know exactly what they’re called and where the best place to get them is?
