Installing your cheap carpet The only things you'll actually need when you install carpet samples or squares in a room is a carpet knife and a staple gun. The 5/8" staples seem to work the best for squares and samples. All you need to do is put the carpet peice in place and staple in two or three staples along each side. Dry foam carpet cleaning isn't that hard to do, as you'll be fine even if you have no experience with these types of machines. The above information will help you greatly, and if you follow it, you shouldn't have any problems. Dry foam can make a carpet look spectacular, as long as you follow the manufacturers directions on mixing the dry foam solution. Density It is very interesting that several people use the density of carpet as their primary factor in judging quality. As you may know, carpet can be too dense. The denser a carpet is, the harder it will feel, as the fibers are compacted. The fibers were meant to wear on their sides rather than on the tops, as they need their room to move. - Make sure you avoid over wetting the carpet. Any prolonged dampness can lead to mildew growth and bacteria in the carpet, or cause a seperation of the backing. A wet carpet that stays this way for longer than 24 hours can develop problems. You can control this by using proper equipment and the right training. Steam Carpet Cleaning The process of steam cleaning your carpet involves hot water being fed to a spray extraction tool or wand, coupled to a pump vacuum power unit. The cleaning solution is injected under pressure deep into the carpet through water jet nozzles. The water will then penetrate the fiber all the way down to the backing. No matter type of spill it may be, there is always a way to clean it up. Variety of use Carpets aren't only for floors anymore, which is a really great thing. You can easily add carpet to steps, stairs, walls, posts, and other non level surfaces, without having to worry about it slipping, lifting, or buckling.
