Can I reuse materials like blankets and towels for floor protection?

• <div><p>It’s possible to reuse household materials to cover floors, but they won’t provide the same level of protection as dedicated materials. They’re also more difficult to tape down and more prone to slipping and bunching up—and any dirt or debris on them could scratch or stain your floors. That being said, extra materials like these can be useful for protecting the sides of furniture and placing in areas that could use added protection.</p></div>

Q: Can I reuse materials like blankets and towels for floor protection?

• <div><p>It&rsquo;s possible to reuse household materials to cover floors, but they won&rsquo;t provide the same level of protection as dedicated materials. They&rsquo;re also more difficult to tape down and more prone to slipping and bunching up&mdash;and any dirt or debris on them could scratch or stain your floors. That being said, extra materials like these can be useful for protecting the sides of furniture and placing in areas that could use added protection.</p></div>

Q: Can carpet and carpet padding be recycled together?

• <div><p>Sometimes carpet and carpet padding can be recycled together. Many companies and organizations that recycle used carpeting also accept old carpet padding. However, the two require separate processes to recycle. For this reason, some recycling facilities aren't able to accept both carpet and carpet padding.</p></div>

Q: Where can I buy affordable garage floors?

• <div><p>You&rsquo;ll find many of the options we listed at big-box home improvement retailers and department stores, as well as smaller independent floor specialists in your area. Many of these stores offer full-service installation of the products they sell, and others may offer to refer you to a trusted partner for installation.</p><p>You can also shop for these products online. We recommend shopping around to compare prices, service offerings, and reviews from previous customers to help make a more informed final decision.</p></div>

Q: Why do you start flooring in the middle?

• <div><p>Many DIYers and pros start installing flooring in the middle of a room to ensure a balanced, symmetrical layout, especially when using tiles or planks. This process is particularly helpful in odd-shaped rooms because it allows you to create a centerline from which to work. Beginning in the center will enable you to work toward the edges so the final layout feels intentional and centered, even if the walls aren&rsquo;t perfectly square. </p></div>

The two girls were on time and did a good job cleaning. We had a lot of dust due to some painting and sanding so it took a long time to get all of it cleaned up. As a result, they were only able to get the main floor cleaned and not the basement. I was happy with the results and next time the...

The service was good and efficient in time. He was courteous and friendly. We got to see pictures of "the before" and "the after" on each duct. The floor vents were cleaned after the ducts were cleaned. We didn't realize how dirty the vents really were until this service was conducted.
