Q. My carpeting is light, so I'd prefer not to use chemicals that may cause discoloration. Thanks.
A. Getting gum out of carpet is alot like getting it out of your hair. Use an ice cube! Apply the ice to the gum and it hardens up to a much more manageable form; if you can get it cold enough, and depending on the type of gum, you may be able to 'pick' it out when it's all hardened. Yeah, stay away from chemicals as they won't get gum out.
Else you may be able to cut it out very carefully when it's in its hardened form - use a short pair of scissors to cut its way out of the fibers.

How can I remove a cat vomit stain from carpeting?
Q. I have beige carpeting (standard synthetic) that was stained by cat vomit. The stain is pink in color. I've used several methods to clean the carpet such as Resolve carpet cleaner and Spot Shot. I also tried wetting the stain and putting baking soda on it to see if the soda would absorb the color. Nothing has worked. Can any of you recommend something else I should try?
A. Kitty barf stains can be hard to remove. Three things you can try:
Orange oil (citrisolve or goo gone.) this may dissolve what the carpet cleaner did not.
Simple Green TM
Windex TM glass cleaner. I have found this very effective at removing all sorts of stains from nylon carpet.
Be sure to first remove any chunks and the majority of the spew before cleaning. You don't want to spread it around. a Wet/Dry vacuum works well for this.

What is a reasonable price to pay for carpeting stairs?
Q. I have 13 stairs and wish to have them carpeted. I have some leftover carpeting I would like to use. Can anyone estimate for me how much carpeting would generally be needed to carpet 13 regular stair steps. Also, what would be a good price to pay the handyman to do this for me?
A. um...lets see here...120 for carpet, 50 for padding, plus the money for the strips....around 200 i would assume...depends on the quality of the things u buy i suppose.
