How do you remove white stains on your carpet from flood water?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

If the flood water was from an actual flood, check with Red Cross, you may need to remove the carpeting. Some bacteria cannot be cleaned out of a carpet after a flood. If the flood was from internal pipes, it is probably an alkaline based stain. www.fabriclink.com/carpet/carpetstain.html can be a helpful site.

How does one lay carpet on stairs?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

This depends on the carpet, the type of stairs you have, and how you want this installed. Assuming you have a fairly typical staircase of 15 stairs and a landing, you would need in the general area of 20 yards of carpet for a basic install. Labor will run you about $220 for a high quality install. A total price of around $600 for a somewhat middle of the road carpet. The final price will depend a lot of the style and quality carpet selected. Steps are more expensive to install because done right, they can take quite awhile to complete. If you are looking to have the sides bound to leave exposed hardwood, add an additional $1.50 + a running foot for binding. This usually is at least another $120 once it is all said and done. When looking for an installer to just do steps, make sure this installer will be fully padding and tacking carpet into place. A proper installer should be using tack board on the steps as well.

What are the advantages of steam cleaning a carpet?

User Avatar

Asked by Gp25385269220448

Steam cleaning is recommended by most carpet manufacturers and is a great way to keep your carpets in top shape.

The recommendation is to have your carpets steam cleaned about once a year for normal use. If you have pets and kids, you may need to do it more often, especially in high traffic areas.

Also, steam cleaning will help you keep your carpet in better shape between cleanings as well. By removing the deep-down dirt with steam cleaning, you are also eliminating a lot of the greasy residue that attracts new dirt that is hard to catch with your normal vacuuming.

Once a carpet has been steam cleaned, it is easier to vacuum out the everyday dirt that normally accumulates on your carpet.

In addition it is a good way to clear many micro pests that can occur due to the sudden steam blast

Can Carpeting my floor help me not hear my neighbors below?

Asked by Wiki User

No it can't because of Acoustic Flanking

The answer is NONE ZERO. You putting carpet on your floors will reduce the impact noise (foot Fall) the neighbor below experiences but will do nothing for the airborne sound coming up. Besides if a lot of it is impact noise from them then that is already flanking through the building materials and is radiating off your floor and walls. If you can feel the vibration of their washing machine that is sitting on their floor then those vibrations are running across their floor, running up common walls and across your floor. This is text book acoustic flanking. We have vibration pads that can go under their washer/dryer which will help a lot. We can't do much about the ceiling fan. Its hard bolted to your floor underneath. What they really need to do is remove their drywall ceiling, add Genie Clips then re-drywall with a double layer using Green Glue. That will take care of the ceiling but you may still experience the flanking up the walls.
