Carpet is difficult to install yourself if you don't have experience. For best results, rent a carpet stretcher from an equipment rental store. For easier carpet installation, consider carpet tiles. These are squares of carpet with an adhesive back. Simply peel off the backing to expose the adhesive and place the tile on the floor. Carpet tiles can be installed over vinyl, wood or concrete. Special carpet tiles can be used outdoors on patios or sun rooms.
You can either remove your carpet and add a new one, or wash the carpet
