Why does padding stick to the floors?

• <div><p>There could be several reasons why your carpet padding has adhered to the floor. Some of the most common reasons include:</p><ul><li><p>There was intentional gluing or stapling to the surface.</p></li><li><p>The polyurethane and floor bonded over years of wear.</p></li><li><p>Pet urine, spills, or other substances leaked through the carpet and created a sticky surface.</p></li></ul><p>If the carpeting in the home has not been changed in a long time, clearing off the padding underneath could be difficult. Pet urine can wreak havoc on carpeting and the flooring underneath. If you plan to reinstall carpeting, remember to use proper cleaning techniques for <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-get-smell-pet-urine-out-carpet.htm">removing pet urine odors</a> to prevent future problems.</p></div>

Q: How can I maintain carpets after professional repair?

• <div><p>Frequent vacuuming and spot cleaning, plus periodic deep cleaning to preserve condition.</p></div>

Q: Is carpet glue permanent?

• <div><p>Carpet glue is very sticky, but it's not permanent. The glue usually lasts as long as a typical carpet installation, which is<b> five to 15 years</b>. For the best results, you should always use the right type of carpet glue for the area you're using it in. There are carpet glues for high-traffic areas, which are more high-quality and durable than others.</p></div>

Q: Are stairs safer with or without carpet?

• <div><p>In some cases, stairs without carpet are actually slipperier than carpeted stairs, but if the carpet is brand new, dirty, or just slick, it may seem like your stairs are the most slippery ones in existence. Fortunately, traction treads can be added over most stair surface materials, increasing the traction you&rsquo;re able to get and reducing the risk of slipping. </p></div>

Q: How do you install carpet without a stretcher?

• <div><p>The knee kicker tool that attaches carpet to tack strips offers some stretching capabilities, so you can use this and your own arm strength to stretch out thinner carpets across a room. But you should buy or rent a stretcher for the best possible carpet application. If you don&rsquo;t want to buy or rent a stretcher, it may be worth it to skip the DIY and leave this job to the pros or risk shortening the life of your new carpet by installing it without a stretcher.</p></div>

my experience with Red Hot Carpet was excellent! I had kicked a can of white paint onto a green carpet, then walked through it. Nevin was able to remove the paint stain, and you can't even tell that it happened! Booking an appointment was easy and fast! My carpets look excellent and that's a...

Did a great job on the couch and loveseat. Very pleased and they look like new. Carpet cleaning was good but wished they had cleaned under a basket on the carpet that could have been moved easily

Lani arrived on time and spent close to an hour cleaning carpets. We had a stubborn oil based stain that he spent a long time working on for us. The carpets looked and smelled great. He offered to return at no charge if any of the stains came back.

Everything turned out great. I would use him again. He made sure to keep my carpets clean, he put a tarp down, and explained everything he was doing. He was very nice.

The sofa and easy chair turned out beautifully--they look just as they did when they were new. For the family room, Doug explained to me that that degree of urine spotting was beyond industry standards for what was feasible to treat. He said that he could treat the carpet, but he felt that the...

They did an excellent job and were very accommodating when changes were required. We weren't pleased with the first two rooms of carpet, and they took it back and replaced it with a new selection, with just the cost of installation charged for the first round.

We have carpet in two bedrooms and den and four stairwells. The carpet layers did an excellent job and the carpet still looks new two years later. We had to remove furniture from rooms so that they could install the carpet. They accommodated by scheduling the installation on two days--Friday...

They were professional on the phone, came over to the house later the same day to measure, and were very helpful in the store. They had a good selection of carpeting that was 'green'. Installation was professional and quick.
