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 do I maintain commercial carpeting?

• <div><p>Regular vacuuming, deep cleaning, and prompt stain removal help maintain appearance and durability.</p></div>

Q: Should carpet be replaced after smoke damage?

• <div><p>Carpets should always be replaced after smoke damage. Particulates and chemicals can penetrate the carpet into the carpet padding, and it can be difficult to fully remove all traces of smoke or fire damage. If water is used to put out the fire, it can soak through the carpet, leading to mold growth and other issues. It&rsquo;s best to be safe and replace your carpets after a fire.</p></div>

Q: What is the best solvent for removing carpet glue?

• <div><p>The best solvent for removing carpet glue depends on its chemical composition. Most carpet glue reacts well to a solvent made from orange oil. Use mineral spirits to remove tar-based glue, which has a darker, brownish tint. Methylene chloride paint stripper and lacquer thinner should also work, but beware of the nasty and dangerous fumes.</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.
