What do you put under carpet on stairs?

• <div><p>It’s a good idea to install a rug pad under the carpet for your stairs. To make the pad fit, you’ll need to cut one section for each stair tread that’s about one inch narrower than the stair runner so that it won’t be visible once the carpet is installed on top.</p></div>

What type of flooring is best for dogs, cats, and other pets?

• <div><p>Luxury <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/luxury-vinyl-flooring-good-choice-pets.htm">vinyl flooring is the best for pet owners</a>, as it holds up well against scratches and accidents. Non-slip stone or porcelain tile are great options as well. Each of these also provide a less slippery surface for pups that like to run around.</p><p>As for the flooring options to avoid, these are hardwood, laminate, and carpeting. Claws can scratch hardwood and tear up carpeting. On top of that, removing dog urine from hardwood floors can be difficult; likewise with carpeting. Laminate holds up much better, but it’s super slippery (especially for dogs).</p></div>

Q: Is it worth it to stretch a carpet?

• <div><p>Carpet stretching increases the lifespan of the carpet and eliminates unsightly wrinkles, ridges, and ripples. It is certainly worth it if you seek to extend the life of wall-to-wall carpeting, though it depends on the individual and the carpet itself. If the carpet looks fine, it likely is fine. Restretch the carpet when you notice looseness and a high number of related issues.</p></div>

Q: How do I fill the gap between the floor and the baseboard?

• <div><p>If you also need to know <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-to-fill-gap-between-floor-baseboard.htm">how to fill the gap between the floor and the baseboard</a>, it's best to use a flexible, paintable latex caulk. Clean the area thoroughly to remove dust and debris. Then, apply a smooth bead of caulk along the gap using a caulking gun, and use a caulk-smoothing tool to press and smooth it into place. If the gap is large, you may need to insert backer rod, such as a foam filler, before caulking. Once dry, paint the caulk to match the baseboard for a clean, seamless look.</p></div>

Q: What stops cats from peeing in the house?

• <div><p>Your cat may pee in the house in spots where cats have previously left urine stains, so make sure to clean any pet urine stains thoroughly. Avoid using ammonia cleaners if you have cats, as the smell can also attract them to relieve themselves. </p></div>
