Carpet

When damage exceeds what the law calls 'ordinary wear and tear'

Since tenants' interests in real property are not vested, the opinion of the landlord carries the most weight in such a determination.

A high pH in carpet cleaning can cause browning of the carpet fibers, or rapid re-soiling. Make sure that your carpet cleaning company uses a fiber rinse solution to rinse out the high alkaline pre-spray (carpet shampoo).

Not a good DIY job, call the local reputable carpet cleaner & they have the chemicals & skills

Walter Guinan who created the Karastan brand would love your question. He created the name Karastan on a bar napkin because he wanted to create a line of carpet & rugs to sell through department stores that people would believe were something hand made and exotic.

There is not nor was there ever a land or tribe called Karatsan. Pakistan, Tajikistan or Afghanistan, yes; but no Karastan.

Today Karastan carpet & rugs are all mass produced, made on machines in a plant in exotic North Georgia, by the second largest carpet mill in the world, Mohawk Industries.

They are neither exotic nor unique, just sold that way.

A true oriental rug will be hand made & will have some intrinsic value. Sadly the world is so awash in fine Orientals that even genuine Orientals don't hold their value and seldom increase as antique rugs did..

Many a Karastan rug has been sold by a great salesman that told the buyer that it was an investment,, they were just selling the dream, Karastan rugs hold no such value.

they are normally loaned out for the Oscars then sold by the designers as "the dress XXX wore to the Oscars"

To clean syrup from carpets, first scrape off as much of the syrup as possible using a butter knife or spoon. Then, mix a solution of warm water and mild dish soap and dab it onto the stained area with a clean cloth. Blot the syrup stain until it lifts off the carpet, then pat dry with a clean towel.

To remove the smell of varsol from your carpet, start by ventilating the area well. Next, sprinkle baking soda over the affected area and let it sit for a few hours to absorb the odor. Finally, vacuum up the baking soda and consider using a carpet cleaner or vinegar solution to further remove any lingering smell.

A carpet sweeper is a manual cleaning device designed to pick up dirt, dust, and debris from carpets and hard floors without the need for electricity. It features rotating brushes that agitate the surface as it is pushed along, collecting particles into a dustbin. Carpet sweepers are lightweight, easy to maneuver, and suitable for quick clean-ups, making them a convenient alternative to vacuum cleaners for smaller areas.

Simply go back over the streaked areas with plain water/steam. This can happen when too much solution/pretreatment is used.

There are many different types. The ones you rent at the grocery store are commonly called 'vacuum steamers' or 'steamer vacuums'.

Rolls are generally worse when it is humid. Regardless, rolls in the carpet mean it needs to be stretched. You can rent a carpet kicker, but a pro would be best. They should be using a power stretcher. More often then not when a carpet gets wrinkles or rolls it was because it was not power stretched when installed. Another possibility is heavy furniture was dragged across. Make sure when the carpet is stretched it is first pulled back to make sure the pad is not bunched up as well.

not something you really want to do will be a big mess easier to pull them up then put the new carpet down so you have some concrete or plywood to put the glue on will be hard work to pull the tiles up but your new carpet will stay down longer

You need to be a bit more specific.

If you are talking about an adhesive type tape, (duct, binding, or strapping tape), there are several commercial solvents available that will remove any residual glue. (Goop, Goo Gone, etc)

If you are referring to the thermoplastic seam tape designed to hold sections of carpet together then no there is no solvent that will dissolve the adhesive.

A professional will try one (or more) of three methods to remove seam tape residue.

1) Heating the glue will bring it back to a liquid state you can then try to wick it into a soft cloth or series of paper towels

2)Cut out the section of carpet & replace it with a patch

3)With a razor knife scrape the glue carefully from the carpet fibers

Note that all three of these methods carry risks to both you & the carpet you're working on. Unless you know what you're doing call a professional.

You're much better off hiring someone to do a small repair rather than paying to replace an entire room of carpet

A carpet biter is a lesbian.

Antifreeze is water soluble. You can use water to rinse the anti-freeze out of the carpeting provided you remove the carpeting from the car first. You don't want to put water on the carpet on the car while it is in the car because water will cause the floor to rust and holes in the floor are bad. The antifreeze, left in place, will not cause this problem. Note that wet carpet must be allowed to fully dry before being put back in place. This can take a few days.

The padding is simply stapled to the subfloor in most cases. If it is stapled down, just rip out the padding in pieces as large as possible. There will be small pieces of padding still stuck to the staples. Now you can either pull up the staples one by one using a staple remover (this will take a long time) or there is a scraper tool you can buy at home improvement tools that you can scrape along the floor to remove the remaining staples and padding.

Trhough my experience, this is the best install procedure that we have developed. It is simplified, but if you take your time and follow this, you should not have any problems: * Remove your new automobile carpet from the box, unroll and lay the carpet in a warm area and allow it to settle for one to two hours before attempting to install. (This will allow the automobile carpet to regain its molded shape.) * Remove sill plates (metal strip holding Automobile carpet at threshold of the door). Be sure to keep the screws. * Remove the front seats and seat tracks by removing the floor bolts in the seat tracks. Be sure to check for and disconnect any electrical connections. * Remove rear seat cushions and center console if applicable. * Remove seat belt bolts if they are mounted in the carpet area. * It may be required to remove or loosen the kick panels and other moldings to remove the old Automobile carpet. * Remove the old Automobile carpet, KEEP IT! do not discard the old carpet yet. * Remove the old carpet padding, leave the body insulation on the floor * Vacuum or sweep the floor, remove all loose matter * Place the old automobile carpet over your new Stock Interiors molded carpet. Mark any holes or additional cutout on the carpet with chalk, Do Not Cut the New carpet Yet! * Place your new automobile carpet in the vehicle by centering it on the transmission tunnel and working towards the sides. (If yours is a 2-piece carpet, install the rear first) * Match the contours of the auto carpet with the floor; be sure the heel pad is under the area for the gas pedal. * After confirming the proper fit, start the required cutouts as you fit the carpet to the vehicle. Note, it is better to start with a small slit in the carpet just large enough to fit over the object, then enlarge the opening only as much as required. Do Not Over Cut! * After the correct fit is determined, fold back a section of carpet, apply any needed adhesive, and press back down to the floor. (Tip:Using a common automotive spray adhesive in spots will give a smoother fit, and less likely to move over time.) Slip the automobile carpet under the kick panels, door posts, and any valance if present, trim the excess that has been provided to allow for a perfect fit into your automobile. * Replace back seat, kick panels, consoles, seat belts, front seats, and sill plates (caution should be taken when reapplying any screws not to catch or snag the carpet.)

You can purchase carpet dye at home improvement stores like Home Depot or Lowe's, as well as specialty flooring retailers. Online platforms such as Amazon and eBay also offer a variety of carpet dyes. Additionally, some manufacturers sell their products directly through their websites. Make sure to check for color match options and application instructions for best results.
