Posts Tagged ‘dirt’

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

I have an 06 Saturn Ion. After delivering pizza for over a year I have noticed A LOT of stains (ie grease, dirt from the hotbags) and there is some pet urine, drink stains and an ink stain that just won’t come out of the floor and seats.

I’ve used Blue Coral, Turtle Wax Carpet and Upholstery Cleaner, Woolite, Oxy Clean, Laundry Detergent, Peroxide. Everything I can think of.

I went to 4 different detailing shops and they told me they wouldn’t be able to get the stains out, and the reason? They didn’t have one, and wouldn’t tell me why.

Does anyone know of a really good cleaner that is guaranteed to get rid of the stains that I have? It’s almost brand new and I want my car looking like it did when I bought it.

Thanks!

Me and my girlfriend just move in to a has the smells like cat urine also the carpet feel like there is a film of grease or dirt on top of the carpet. I shampooed once all ready with a store bought unit. what else can i do to clean the carpet and remove the smell.

I have severe OCD, it’s just so hard to control!!! I will spend… like 5 minutes pushing/pulling a door closed to make sure it’s absolutely closed, or turning a lock for 5 minutes to make sure it’s turned.. I will spend 10 minutes pushing in a chair until my hands hurt just to make sures it’s fully pushed in. I had to remove the dog steps from the side of my bed because I would get up every 5 minutes to make sure it was pushed in. I constantly look over the side of my couch/bed to make sure no bugs are down there. I look on the windowsills and make sure no bugs or dirt are there. I spend 5 minutes turning the window blinds stick to make sure the blinds are closed. I’ll push in a rug for 5 minutes to make sure it’s pushed in. I’m going so crazy!!! And whenever someone opens my door I have to make sure it’s closed after they close it. I’ve only just turned 13, I’ve been doing it since I turned 12. I can’t sleep unless I’m sure every window and door in the house is closed, and every door is locked, or every chair and rug is pushed in, and I spend 5 minutes pushing the light switch to make sure the light is off. I push the fridge and pantry door closed very hard before bed. I wish I could stop, I really do, but it’s consuming me. I try putting my mind on other things but it bites at my brain until I do it. I sometimes physically hurt myself by doing this. I’ll push doors closed so hard and long my hands will get cuts. My dad and mom tell me to stop but I just can’t!! What should I do??? I really think I need to see a mental doctor but I’m embaressed to tell my parentd that. Please don’t make fun of me, it’s an addiction!

About 6 months ago i had 4 horses stolen, it really broke my heart. Weve tried everything to get them back, but as yet theres been no luck. I have the rugs for the horses etc and the small stuff is a great keepsake.

About 2 months back my good friend told me she needed a rug for her new horse. She asked me nicely if i had one that would fit. I gave her 3 rugs with the instructions that if she didnt want them or they didnt fit, to give them back, as they from one of the horses that was stolen.

Today she tells me that she gave one of the rugs away as it didnt fit her horse. Now she cant understand why im annoyed, either can i, I know that the minute i handed them to her, they became hers.

Shes trying to get with a guy that also keeps horses, he only comes to her when he wants something. Shes always giving him stuff, just to keep him happy. She gave him one of those rugs. He treats her like dirt, telling her he will never be with her, that he cant be seen in public with her etc.

Shes been trying to ring me, but i feel so hurt that i just cant talk to her.
When i was having my son a family member offered to care for the horses. They went and sold them a few days later! So they are being treated as stolen by the police.

I know its only a horse rug, but the rug in particular was the last thing i bought that horse and he apparently went to a slaughter house.

This guy is bad news, he owes her alot of money etc, she always turns to me when he upsets her while other friends have fallen out with her!

We bought a house with a gorgeous wood floor in the living room, but I didn’t realize how hard it would be to keep clean! It’s not a smooth surface like regular wood floors – it looks almost like it’s meant for an outdoor deck – there’s a board, and then a groove about 1 cm wide and 1 cm deep, then a board, then a groove, etc, and the grooves collect every bit of dust and dirt and get soooo dirty so fast, it’s driving me nuts! Is there any kind of transparent something-or-other I can fill them with that won’t look awful? Or something that would cover them from above? Honestly, I’m tempted to just put clear packing tape over the entire floor so I won’t have to deal with them anymore!! We do have a big rug over some of it, but it’s a really big room, and there’s plenty of wood still showing. Please help!!!!

I have hardwood and an area rug in the living room and tile in my kitchen. I also have a German Shorthair Pointer who sheds year round. I need a good floor vac that I can use daily to get up the dirt he brings in and constant supply of dog hair he leaves me. I’m also looking for a steam cleaner for the floors so if it happens to come in a 2 in 1 type of thing that’s great too!

when i ask my moms stupid boyfriend to take his shoes off he never does so i just want to find
a small welcome rug to put infrunt of my door so when people walk in it gets about at least 90% of the dirt and mud and water from shoes. we live on the bottom of a hill so there is nothing but wet mud all the time
and it takes 4 hours to rug doctor with two people in my living room and i dont want to have to get on my knee and hands just to scrub it out. I will pay up to 40$ for 2 small rugs to put by my door what are the best and can i find something at walmart or even a store that makes rugs?

Im not talking just some ordinary rug i want something that will work with just a few swipes of the feet.
Oh and they both must be washable

I bought a house that has never had the carpet removed. So the carpet pad under the carpet has since become like dirt/cement on the floor and hard to get up with even a putty knife. The floor is hardwood underneath and I want to preserve it in any way that I can. Does anyone have any suggestions of something that I can do to get the old padding up?
I forgot to note that I have tried hot soapy water which makes it worse.

ChemDry, Steam or do it yourself? What dose the best job at really cleaning and WHY?

Moreover, what should it cost per room, with deep clearing and stain guard?

I have heavily solid, light color carpet?

I need 2 baths, and 2 bedrooms, a hall, stairs and family room. About 500 sq’ of visibly dirt carpet with few small stains. Also should I buy any of the extras, like deodorize and stain guard?

What company and system should I use and not use?

I had a dream a few nights back, with multiple "scenes" in it. First I was with my church youth group, and we went on a trip. There was a gas station there and for whatever reason i decided to buy some of the personal lube they were selling. So I tried to secretly hand it to the cashier when suddenly everyone was standing in front of me and there were lots of other groups of school kids standing around to see. So suddenly everyone goes "ohhhhhhhhhh!!!!!" ya know like stupid jr high kids do, and my dad tried to back me up and my youth paster was pissed and when we left she drove us all into and through a mall and we were going crazy everywhere. Then I had a dog, a dog that doesnt really exist. He could talk and he was smart like ppl and everything and he was like my very best friend. But then he was trapped in a burning furnace in a basement of a shop. It wasnt like a normal furnace cus the whole room was on fire. My family, kept saying he’ll be fine and they wanted me to do other things we were doing all this stuff we needed to go to this place and I kept saying we need to save him but they wouldn’t let me. Finally he broke himself out and I got there when it would have been to late and he was mad at me. I didn’t know why I couldn’t overcome the will of my family to go save our talking dog. Then I was at some hotel, we were hosting a party at my aunts house. I had to get to the party but it was storming. Me, my dad, and my friend all had to run there (or maybe we were on bikes i cant remember) but we had to run a long ways, me and my friend seperated from my dad which I liked for some reason, but also made me really nervous. We ran a long ways down dirt roaded alleys and lots of places and it was raining and storming the whole time. We got to the party and I was releived it seemed as though all my troubles were gone. But then my aunt came and got me to yell at me. I remember her making me so mad. (she has yelled at me for things before, I actually did do what she was yelling at me for but my parents beleived me when i lied so i got away with it. I never did even feel guilty though, and still dont. I was just mad at her for yelling at me like that, she also yelled at both my sisters, a few cousins, my mom, my other aunt, my dad, my friends mom and well, you get it) so I was so mad when she yelled at me I screamed back this time, this time i told her exactly how i feel. I got a few dirt tracks on her rug and she was telling me how im gonna scrub it for weeks to get it out. I remember at the time knowing that that was a lie and that she really didn’t have a reason to yell at me. I remember it being redicrulously faint tracks to the point that when she told me to leave i stormed into the room where the party was where she ran after me. I yelled at her and said fine tiffany (her name) I will leave my own party. If your gonna treat me that way then I dont want to be here anyways. I said it in from of everybody so my parents and everybody would see that she was kicking me out to make her look bad. And heck, it worked really well. My parents chewed her out and left too. what do u think it means?

Our vacuum cleaner doesn’t work anymore and we looking at some at Wal Mart, and I can’t decide….. We recently were a little surprised by an in-home sales demo on a Kirby vacuum cleaner. It was an unexpected visit, and it was no surprise how much dirt and hair got pulled up out of the 10 feet of carpet the guy vaccumed. We were shocked at the astronimical price of 95.00 for the stupid thing, and even more shocked when the sales rep "negotiated" the price down to a mere 0.

Anyway, we didn’t buy it, and sent the guy packing. I’m not paying that much for a vacuum. But, it did work – and it worked well.

We have a 1 dog, 3 cats, and 3 ferrets, in addition to a bird, and horse barn-dirt that contributes to what ends up in our carpet, so I would like something as powerful of a cleaner (or close to) without the unreal price tag of a Kirby.

Some of the vaccuums by hoover at wal mart were around 0 – what would be a good vacuum for my needs??

My vacuum cleaner broke down and I need to think of a way to clean my carpets before christmas eve. I don’t have the funds to buy another one and I don’t like the intention to borrow anything from anyone.

What should I do?
I used my broom yesterday, but the are soo much dirt that not even a straw broom can even get it out. It’s like trying to get gum out of a sofa.

My 13 year old is out of hand , her attitude is poor and her respect lacks. Her behaviour is so bad that she now has 1 hour detention every day after school for a week! The way she speaks to people is rude and talks to them like dirt. I am trying to discipline her by doing a few things , here are some punishments:
.Yesterday I took her laptop out of her room , the tv and every luxury that is in her room , including make up , ipad,ipod, playstation and every other technology that she enjoys using.
. I stripped her bedroom down , the only things that are there is her bed , a rug and her wardrobe with no expensive clothing in it!
. Her phone has been taken away and she is banned from using the internet, she can only use it for educational reasons.
. I now take her to school in the morning and make sure she goes into school.
. My best friend picks her up from school and take her home , she is grounded after school and has to stay in her room. My best friend keeps an eye on her so she does not get out of her room.
.I make sure she does ALL her homework , also she is banned from going out with her friends and I am not buying her ANY thing till she changes her behaviour.
. I make her go to her nan’s house on weekends and help her out , she lawns the garden and does all the chores.
.I have made a chore chart and she does it after school.

Do you think my punishments are too harsh and am I being to strict on her , or is this a good punishment for her so she changed her behaviour for good.

Ps: If you are not going to give me any advice and make snide remarks , then I advice you to not say anything.

This is a story meant for 7 -12 year olds. It’s about a young girl who gets lost in another world. I know it has been done before. I’m actually writing it for a little girl I know. What do you think? I feel like it’s missing something. I’m 16 and taking a creative writing class.

Mariah laid perfectly still in her canopy bed with the drapes drawn, hiding from Hester, her lady-in-waiting. Any minute now, Hester would come down the hall calling her to her morning etiquette lessons, which Mariah despised with a passion. She managed to evade Hester for most of the morning. Sooner or later Hester would check her room, which would take a while, for she was searching around a huge castle. Mariah balled her fist tight against her chest concentrating, wishing. She’d do anything to get out of her etiquette lessons. "Oh please, please don’t let Hester find me. I promise that I’ll be a good girl for now on." She hesitated, rethinking what she had said. "Well I’ll try to behave." It was hard for a young lady to stay out of trouble in such a big castle with nothing to do. Her parents were having their anniversary party today and her older sister was busy doing what older sisters do. No one had time for her except Mrs. Finnegin, her etiquette instructor. However, better known to Mariah as a fun sucking leech. "I’ll obey my parents. I’ll keep my fancy clothes free from dirt. I’ll act lady like." She went on and on about all the good things she would do. "I’ll even keep my elbows off the table when eating.", claimed Mariah.

She was right in the middle of declaring, how she would never again hide under Hester’s bed and scare her when she heard her name called. Though in complete darkness, she closed her eyes tight, wishing that she could disappear. Wishing that just this one time, by some stroke of luck, a glitch in time, a wrinkle in reality that she would go unseen by Hester. Wishing to stumble into a mystical, forgotten land. Accompanied by strange creatures, traveling unfamiliar roads, on a quest to the unknown. "Mariah!", screamed Hester. This time her scream was different. It was filled with anger and hostility. "Oh no!" Mariah opened her eyes and pulled back the drapes slightly. With a slant of light shining through, she could see her hand holding the drapes. At once her heart dropped to her feet. "I should have known it wouldn’t work. Maybe I wished too hard."

A thought accumulated in Mariah’s mind. She thought that maybe once Hester found her she would instantly vaporize right before her eyes, scaring her out of her wits. She laughed at the thought of frightening Hester. Again Hester called her name, causing Mariah to jump straight up in her bed. She peaked her head between the drapes and closed them swiftly as Hester marched through her bedroom door. She listened closely to Hester’s foot steps coming towards her bed. She could hear her fumbling around, searching for her. The noise stopped unexpectedly, so did Mariah’s breathing. She sat waiting, certain that Hester could hear the hectic beating of her heart. With every second that passed the anticipation mounted. It begun with a funny feeling in her toes, crawling up to her knees, tingling gradually up her spine. Slowly she crept to the foot of her bed, poking her head through the drapes. The camel back sofa against the wall was unoccupied. A little to the left stood a cherry wood wardrobe. Definitely Hester wouldn’t be hiding there. Crawling just a wee bite more, she leaned against a ceder chest that sat at the very foot of her bed. Underneath lay a frizzy rug taking up most of the room. It reminded Mariah of uncut grass, only this grass was pink. She spotted the large window seat, which was empty as well.

"She must have left." Mariah thought. "That was easy." She resumed her breathing and wiggled back inside her safe haven. Her head was half way on her pillow when without a warning, Hester throw open the drapes. "Ahhhhhhhh!" , screamed Mariah, bouncing up from her pillow, head nearly touching the ceiling. "You scared me Hester!" Hester’s face was pink and her nose was pinched in an angry flare. Mariah could almost see steam emitting from her ears, releasing pent-up fury. Normally Hester had a pretty face, but all she saw was an ugly glare.

"How dare you hide from me you wicked little thing."

"Oh…um…..yes. Actually, I wasn’t hiding." Honestly she was hiding, but Hester was her lady-in -waiting, so she thought she’d make her wait until she decided to make an appearance. "What do you call this then, huh? Hester tossed the drapes, waiting for an answer. "Your bed drapes are never closed during the day." She grabbed Mariah’s arm and dragged her out of bed. It was true about Mariah’s drapes. On a regular basis, Hester could find her hiding in the library reading, traveling to distant lands. "Don’t make me go Hester. I cursed the day Mrs. Finnagin came to t
