Q: How can you tell if carpet padding is bad?

• <div><p>Most people realize it is time to replace the padding when the carpet loses springiness or feels thin and unsupportive. Other telltale signs are lumps or dips in the carpet that could look unattractive or cause tripping hazards. Similarly, if your carpet is making a crinkly sound or starting to wear out prematurely, you might need to replace your padding.</p></div>

Q: How do you fix pet carpet damage?

• <div><p>Patching your carpet in damaged areas or using an industry-grade cleaner on urine spots can help remove stains and scents from your carpet. If odors linger, leave baking soda on the area overnight (dry), then vacuum it up in the morning. </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>

Q: What are common reasons carpets need stretching?

• <div><p>Bumps, wrinkles, or detachment often require stretching for smoothness.</p></div>
