Inexpensive Replacement For Old Carpet That’s Also Green And Healthful?
February 28th, 2010 | 
Author: Our carpeting is 13 yrs old. It started out “oatmeal” varigated in color, but despite regular vacuuming and paying to have the floors power cleaned, it looks horrible and everyone’s a bit worried what could be living under it…eek! We all know we need a replacement (the whole house, likely, but money’s *more* than tight.
Does anyone know of any product, esp. green, esp. easy to clean *super well*—maybe carpet alternatives with some “cush”/”spring” to the step (the alternate to carpet padding) to help tame the pain that would come with very hard floors? We live in the southwest–I’ve read bamboo is mostly termite free, esp. when impregnated with boron. But really, money’s the “make it or break it” point. Suggestions? So many thank yous: )

What’s The Best Replacement Flooring For Manufactured Homes?
We are looking to install laminate, wood, bamboo, tile or other flooring alternative instead of the sheet goods that will come with our new manufactured home. Do you have any suggestions or recommendations? This flooring will cover the marriage line between the two halves of the unit, which is the area that concerns me the most.

What Are The Laws For The Replacement Of Carpet In Apartments?
How long can an apartment complex keep the carpet in a unit?
I live in Florida and we got pretty substancial water damage and had mold growing all over our carpets. They were clean but only fairly… I am a neat freak!!!! I constantly was cleaning the carpets and after 2 years of mold issues finally moved out. Now we are getting charged for carpet replacements. I am sending them a letter to dispute but I thought I heard someplace that there was a law about about 2 years of occupancy the carpets should be changed… I agree… I’m sorry for you Landloards but after having several people living on floors it should be done.
Anyway, overall, the carpets are in good condition… the bottom line is that it’s mold damage not carelessness or filthness of my husband or I. I should not be responsible for mold damage which to the untained eye looks like stained carpet.
