One of the most common problems associated with the use of thinner, waffle carpets for carpets is that they can damage the floor, marking their design on the floor. I heard that many people told me that they needed to redo their floor because of damage to the floor, an inexpensive rug for rugs used under their rug or carpets. Before you actually call the flooring company, there may be a solution that you can try at home to remove any rug labels from the floor.
I recently heard from a client who had this problem with tags on her floor. She used WD-40, a popular lubricant. What she said is to cover the marked area of the WD-40, and then scrub it with a rag. Below I will talk about the steps that need to be taken to try to remove marks or stains on a rug from hardwood or any hard floor.
1. Taste the painted surface of the WD-40. Make sure the WD-40 sits and penetrates the stain for a few minutes.
2. Use a rag to begin rubbing the area. Depending on the strength of the stain on the mat, you may have to wipe quite hard and for a long time. Check the cloth regularly to see if you need to change it.
3. As soon as he sees that you have removed all of the stain or that you have removed as much as it will, get a dry cloth and wipe off any excess WD-40 from the floor.
4. As a final cleaning of your floor, wipe it with Murphy oil soap, an excellent floor cleaner that adds so much shine to your floor, as well as a fresh scent to remove any residue or odor of WD -40.
The client who tried it and advised me in this process was a great success. There is no guarantee that every damaged floor will have the same result, but it doesn’t hurt to try it first before investing in a more expensive solution.
When the floor is what you want, and the time comes for a new carpet rug, be sure to avoid any damage in the future by purchasing a solid felt or felt and rubber pad. Rubber does not mark floors and is safe for all hard floors. These are rubber, like waffles, rugs for mats that can label your floor because they are usually sprayed with glue that is transferred to the floor.
