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>

Is it worth re-stretching the carpet?

• <div><p>Stretching a carpet should be a one-time job. If by re-stretching you mean doing it a second (or third) time, it’s probably better to replace it altogether. <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/6-signs-you-need-replace-your-carpet.htm">Most carpets are expected to last</a> anywhere from five to 15 years, so if it’s past that timeframe, you may want to shop around for a new one.</p></div>

Q: How long should an Oriental rug last?

• <div><p>An Oriental rug should last between 50 and 100 years, on average, but yours could last much longer than a century if you care for it properly. There are many factors that affect the lifespan of an Oriental rug, though. Increased foot traffic, exposure to moisture, exposure to UV light and sunlight, and aggressive cleaning can all limit how long your rug will last.</p></div>

Q: Are stairs safer with carpet?

• <div><p>Yes, carpeted stairs are safer because carpet helps reduce the chances of slips and falls compared to harder materials like wood, vinyl, tile, or steel staircases, which lack the friction needed for a secure tread. And, if you do happen to fall, carpeted stairs also have more cushioning in the case of an accident.</p></div>

Q: Can you revive flattened carpet?

• <div><p>Yes, you can revive carpet that&rsquo;s flattened using household items like an ice cube and stiff brush, a damp cloth and an iron, baking soda and vinegar, and shaving cream. If you want to go all-out, visit a local home improvement store and buy a carpet rake, too. Depending on the state of your carpet, you may need to use more than one of these methods to see results. Keep in mind that you might need to repeat a reviving method more than once.</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.
