If a room is 196 square feet how many 12 x12 carpet tiles do you need?

A square foot IS 12 inches by 12 inches.

So unless the room is odd-shaped (not square or rectangular)

you should be able to do it with 196 carpet tiles.

You should add 5 to ten percent for mess-ups.

So if it is not a monetary issue, get 210 or so.

How do you get hair out of wax on tile floor?

There are three solutions that I have tried:

1. Sharp razor and carefully razor it off. (This is the fastest most effective way, but if you are not careful, you will end up leaving scratches on the tile.)

2. Pour body/baby/cuticle oil onto it, let it sit, then try to rub it off. (This takes a lot of time and effort.)

3. They now sale a product that you pour onto the wax and let sit for fifteen minutes then wipe off. (Most recommended, but it does take patience.)

What is the average price per sq-ft for backsplash installation?

Labor Prices

Fees & charges change from town to town, region to region, the best ways I can suggest to find a good range is :

Run a short ad in Craigslist, that will likely get you someone hungry & maybe unlicensed so you will know the cheapest price.

Then call the local Home Depot or Lowes & ask what they charge if you buy your tile from them???

That will be the highest price in the market

Now you would have a good range & then its time to look for quality & references... a steal on tile or a great price on labor, can be VERY COSTLY if you give the job to a butcher..

My bet will be you will find someone on the low end at about $2 per sq ft & that the depot will be $6-8 bucks a foot after they do all the add ins...

Get it in writing...Never pay for it all upfront

What can you use to take off Mop and Glow off tile flooring?

There are special products to remove no wax wax and you can find them at a flooring store. It is a long and miserable process. You put down the remover and let it soak into the Mop and Glow, then start scraping. I did it to a kitchen floor and was on my knees for almost a week total, with a tooth brush trying to get it all off. If you don't get every bit off, the next time a drop of water hits that floor you will have a white spot again.

What is the best way of cleaning porcelain tiles?

A quick sweeping or vacuuming removes dirt and debris before it can become embedded in the tile or grout. Mopping with warm water and using a manufacturer-recommended cleaning product also enhances your tile's gloss, shine, and color. You can also mix hydrogen peroxide and water in equal parts. Simply apply this with a toothbrush to remove the stains. You will find that even grout that is properly maintained is easier to clean and remove stains from than other surfaces, such as laminate.

I read in flooring sites that they can average from 4 to about 8 dollars per square foot.

But you also have to factor in the material costs for instalation (adhesives, sealers, etc..), labor for instalation, maintenance of the floors over the years and extra costs if the sub floor needs to be leveled. Plus the money for a contractor if you plan on having one.
