Runner Rug Carpet
Need to carpet 80% of apartment?
An apartment I’m considering moving to requires you to carpet 80% of the apartment to dampen the noise for the tenant below.
It’s about 750 square feet or so. They said area rugs and runners are fine, it doesn’t have to be wall-to-wall.
What is the cheapest way to do this? I would just get area rugs but won’t that look weird have multiple 8×10 area rugs in the same room? I looked into carpet tiles but they seem more expensive than doing wall to wall carpet.
If you have the room divided into sections, and the area rugs area specific, then it will not look weird. You can also go to any carpet store, give them the measurements of the area rugs you want, and have them bind the edges of the carpet to make any size area rug you want.
Wall to wall carpet will look a lot better than carpet tiles. If you choose to have the wall to wall installed, then invest in good padding, you’ll not regret it.

Rug Carpet Rainbow
What is the BEST rug shampoo?
I live very close to Rapid Transit train rails, AND when they re-paved our street, they did a lousy job, so a sticky black residue gets dragged in on my carpet constantly. I have a RAINBOW brand vacuum (bag less – dirt is sucked in to a water basin) with the carpet cleaner attachment, and have tried SEVERAL shampoos, but only get so-so results. Can anyone recommend a GOOD carpet cleaner product OR homemade solution I can use to remove these ugly grey sticky stains? I am willing to try just about anything! My carpets are tan.
Use viniger, or you can get the safeway brand shamoo its super cheap looking but i used it about 5 years ago and its really effective. also a lot of vacuums that have carpet cleaner attachments do not produce the best results. You should consider renting one, and although it is not the answer you wanna hear sometimes substances used in construction completly ruin carpet like, asphalt, costruction chalk ect.
Good Luck!!!

Oushak Oriental Rug
Antique Rug Fringe is More Than Just for Looks
Most antique rugs have fringe on the ends. This is common in antique Persian rugs, antique Oushak rugs, and even many new oriental rugs have fringed ends. Though many owners like the look that this fringe creates, many others do not care for it much at all. Carpet fringe gets dirty and is difficult to spot clean. Fringed ends often get caught in vacuums (tip: vacuum side to side instead of lengthwise to avoid this problem), and caught damage to the precious antique rug that was so carefully selected and purchased. Many customers lament that it is difficult to find rugs, antique rugs in particular, that do not have fringed ends.
What many people may not know is that the fringed ends of antique rugs serve a purpose, which is why fringed ends are so very common. The fringed ends of antique rugs are essentially the skeleton of the rug. Each individual tassel is made of fibers that run through the rug to the other side, where they come out and are tied off into another tassel. The fringe is a series of knots, or tassels, that help hold the entire weaving of the rug in place.
A quality antique rug company can easily take care of any repairs or replacements that a tasseled fringe might need. Both repairs and replacements of antique rug fringe usually start with stitching up the end of the rug to ensure that the skeleton fibers stay in place and intact. Once the overcast stitching is completed, new tassels can be sewn on in place of tassels that are worn out, using careful hand sewing techniques. Hand sewing is important as it helps ensure that the integrity of the antique rug is kept intact. The new fringe is usually put over top of the existing fringe base, and the worn fringe is often trimmed quite short to maintain the look of the carpet. Overlaying new fringe not only refreshes the look of the rug, but it also helps protect the rug edges from additional wear.
Antique rug fringe tassels do take a bit of maintenance and care in order to ensure that the integrity of the rug’s fiber weaving remains intact. Though fringe can be a hassle when it comes to cleaning and care, worn fringe must be replaced by antique rug experts. Without maintenance and necessary replacements, the entire skeleton of the antique rug can unravel, leaving the owner with a mess of strings instead of a beautiful antique rug that will last.
