OK saw an episode of trading spaces a while back and they painted some carpet does anyone know anything about that or staining carpet they did it on real short carpet my carpet is pretty short it is like the carpet they put in apartments point is mine is really bad stained from room mates having pets and my mother when she lived with my having a pet that she never cleaned up after so looking for some ideas any help would be great
Oh My G-d! My sister and I was talking about the time our brother in -law painted our carpet back in 1972! We sure where laughing and wondering why our Dad let him do it in the first place! What a nightmare! Don't even think about doing it, or you'll be laughing thirty-some years from now too. It'd be better to rip the entire carpet off the floor, and just use throw rugs. Byee
Rent a rug cleaner from your local hardware store, first pretreating the worst spots with a spot remover. And see what this does. Cause in any case you don't want to be breathing the stuff left in the carpet. If you own the place, I'd recommend pulling it up (in a corner or doorway), and seeing what is underneath. Or make a canvas painted rug to go over the area, buy a large canvas (dropcloth or the like) give it a basecoat, then your design and then a few coats of poly. Would be easier to clean up, and not as expensive if you decide to toss it.
I have never heard of such a thing. Maybe you need a special kind of paint? All I know is that when I accidentally spilt some paint on my carpet it made it all hard and crunchy. I would suggest getting a floor rug.
