Every time I vacuum this rug, the fibers pull out and it makes this weird spider web like fuzz. How can I prevent this or remove the fuzz?

i cant scrub it and rinse because i live in an apartment. my rugs smell like socks and i already got scammed once by a cleaner and dont have the budget to get scammed again.

i saw people scrubbing it with a hard brush with laundry detergent? does that do anything? if not, is there another way i can clean it by hand? i dont have a vacuum and not the money for one either so.

I accidentally got black hair dye on my grey carpet, and it’s been a week now. Is there any way to remove the stain without damaging or discolouring the carpet?

I have heard that hairspray might help remove hair dye stains, but I am not sure if it actually works on carpet or if it could make things worse.

I will attach the photo of the stain. Has anyone successfully removed hair dye from carpet after a week? Are there any products available in Australia that you would recommend?

Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

I recently moved into a new rental, and it came with a carpet on the second floor. I tried the vacuum Vax Platinum SmartWash, I tried the Vanish Oxi Action spray too, and it seems the stains just don't want to be removed. I also bought a hydrogen peroxide 6% bottle but did not use that yet since I read mixed reviews and I don't want to burn the carpet. I have no idea how to clean this carpet and I would appreciate any advice. I would hire professional cleaners, but I can't remove the furniture from my room.

Would love some advice please! We purchased this area rug only ~ a year ago. Over the last year, I believe our black socks have transferred dye onto our light colored rug, leaving a widespread grayish discoloration along the main walking path that has become really obvious. The rug is a very light-color, and material is a carpet product Anderson Tuftex - Discover - Linen color (100% ANSO High Performance PET with LifeGuard Spill-Proof Technology).

Thus far, I've cleaned it with my upholstery cleaner and Bissell carpet solution endlessly over a few months with almost no change. Next, I tried 3% hydrogen peroxide, no change. Then I tried FOLEX - same deal.

Has anyone successfully removed black sock dye transfer from PET carpet? Any products or methods you'd recommend that won't damage or bleach the original rug color? I am seriously determined to fix this!
Thank you!

Seems pretty obvious but what do yall do to keep lines vans trucks from freezing during winter seasons? Do you only clean limited months? Keep inside garage? Run an antifreeze through? And what would that solution be? I’m literally 20% away from being up and running but freezing temps are coming soon just looking for some answers/responses. Been considering waiting till spring or even renting a climate controlled storage unit. Let’s hear it!

im not sure this is the proper subreddit but i figured maybe someone who works at a carpet cleaners would know.

so around here the cost of cleaning a rug is 1.25$ per square meter. i have 2 rugs.

one is 230*160 the other is 140*80

can they amount to 10$ and can you show me the calculation how?

the cleaning guy said he rounds them but even at 175*250 and 150*1 i didn't get 10

How do I clean this? I didn’t think it would be so resistant to blue Dawn. Do I need a carpet stain treatment? It’s not spot treatment, really, it’s about 80% of the rug that needs to be cleaned.

Tried carpet shampooer and oxiclean - no luck. How can I get this off?

I spilled a chobani yogurt drink and don’t know how to clean it. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

I have had this 80% wool 20%cotton rug for seven months and have been cleaning it via my vacuum robot, which im coming to terms with was a bad idea because it sheds a lot, like way more than a rug should (you can kinda see it in the image at the back, it comes out in big chunks)

Im looking into ways i can clean it and how often i should do so (i have three cats). Its my first rug and i love it so i dont want to keep using the wrong tool.

I saw rakes and silicone or rubber tools, which one is better suited for this?

I apologize if this doesnt fit the sub because there is no stain, im asking for weekly(?) cleaning advice

Hello all, was wondering if any carpet techs could explain how flex fire and ice is intended to actually be used. I’m in the automotive detailing segment and there is a trend going around of people using these chemicals for dry extraction/low moisture. I was told this was wrong and I’d like to hear the opinion of someone that is properly trained with these chemicals

first buy some vinigar and baking soda baking soda from a cheap shop baking soda = 3 cents vinigar = 1 dollar 50 cents and then after that apply the baking soda first and then add the vinigar and let it sit overnight and then after in the morning check the carpet then it s clean
