Is it necessary to wash my rug at the car?

admin — Thu, 10 Jun 2010 05:33:22 +0000

I got the idea from my friend. He said that’s how he cleaned his mom’s rugs.

One of my dogs has white hair and sheds a LOT. There are white hairs embedded in the rug that I can’t get out with the vacuum or carpet cleaner.

If I use the pressure washer at the car wash.. will there be any drawbacks? Can it damage the rug? *It’s a huge cheap rug anyway from walmart*

What is the best way to clean a throw rug?

I just moved into a new house and the previous tennants left behind a pretty grey throw rug. But it’s dirty and smells awful, like dogs or something. I don’t have anything against dogs, having two myself, but how to clean the carpet and get the smell out?
Sorry….carpet like throw rug not the carpet itself!

How to stop my dogs from urinating on the rugs?

I have hardwood floors that need throw rugs to further insulate them. I have tried to close all the doors before I leave and keep them close when I’m home. I’ve caught on of them in the act and he stopped for a few day but is back at it. I have two boys and a girl dachshund, if it’s help-full. Thanks in advance for the thinking answers.

How to keep area rugs from slipping on wood floors?

admin — Mon, 02 Nov 2009 09:38:19 +0000

I installed wood floors for the dogs. It makes for easy clean up of accidents. However I did not think ahead to the dogs comfort of play. They slid on wood DUH! So I put down multiple area rugs. I have no slip pads double taped to the underside but they roll up, peel off and slide if the dogs don’t specificly hit the area that the pad is under. I’ve looked online for something that will guarantee the rugs to stay in place and maybe cut down on noise but they are crazy expensive. My husband wanted to double side tape them directly to the floor but that will ruin the floor. Because we have to be able to regularly remove the rugs to clean underneath them as well as the rugs themselves because if it’s not an accident they are tracking mud in. Please help.

Does anyone have any tips for taking dog/cat hair out of carpets and rugs?

Discovered by accident today that those mitts you get for brushing dogs with (plastic peaks on one side and leather on the other), are brilliant at doing this. Does anyone have any other tips?

Sorry, I should have said that I’ve used all the usual methods, hoovering, sellotape etc and found the dog mitt got even more hair out.
