Hello, I recently spilled a small amount of battery acid from a 5 year old battery as I was transporting it. I didn't think anything at the time as there was no smell. I threw away everything that it got on and cloth cleaned the area. Then the acid smell started to come and get bad over the next days. The carpet itself is not damaged or have appearance of damage. I used a mild cleaner to clean the carpet well and the smell is still there, but still no visible damage-should I just leave it and let it dry? Or remove it completely in the event there may be hidden damage, I certainly don't want to start corroding the metal underneath and the smell is getting less each day. So any thoughts on this? Thanks

How can I prevent my rolling chair on carpet from causing damage or wear over time?
To prevent damage or wear on carpet from a rolling chair, consider using a chair mat specifically designed for carpeted floors.

Additionally, regularly clean the wheels of the chair to remove any dirt or debris that could cause abrasion on the carpet.

Possibly. Under some circumstances it could cause the battery to short out. If the engine has been running hot for long periods, the heat could damage the battery too. It might also be that the engine has internal damage and the starter is having a problem turning it over.

Does Farm Bureau home insurance cover a carpet damaged by pets and water from the dishwasher in SC?
Damage caused by dosmetic animals is excluded in all homeowner's policies and it is unlikely that SC would require an exception for this exclusion for policies issued in their state. Water damage to carpeting from a plumbing system leak (if sudden as opposed to a slow leak over time) is a covered loss. Could it be that the water damage did not destroy the carpet as it could be dried and cleaned but due to the pet damage it was ruined? //
When charging battery charger surges why?
A battery charger may surge during charging due to fluctuations in the power supply, a faulty charger or battery, or issues with the charging circuitry.

What will happen if Clorox gets sprayed on a carpet?
The part that gets sprayed will get bleached, and depending on the color of the carpet and the amount/concentration of bleach, you could have a nasty and irreparable blotch on the carpet. There would be no way to restore the carpet's original color, but you may be able to find some kind of matching color to apply to the spot that would be better than the bleach mark, or perhaps you could do some creative re-placement of furniture.
