If you have carpet installed over pad in your home, chances are you’ve moved your furniture to find indentations that just don’t go away. You may have tried to rub it with your fingers, vacuum it, all to no avail. Before giving up, try ice cubes.
I’m not kidding… a simple ice cube allowed to sit atop the indentation will almost always do the trick.
Check out this video by Martha Stewart showing just how easy it is.
Good luck!

I haven’t been this excited about a line of flooring in a long time! Of course, with three children under 11, my days are full of Tinker Bell, Lightning McQueen and Toy Story. So when Tuftex and Disney Consumer Products launched a new collection of wall-to-wall carpet based on some of Disney’s classic stories, I flipped. Literally.
This isn’t your average, run-of-the-mill (pardon the pun) printed area rug deal. Nope, this is actual broadloom patterned carpet made to be installed wall-to-wall. Of course, we can still make an area rug for you, but this simply represents an exciting shift in this market.
Fairies is one of the collections available.
The non-character based line takes inspiration from some of the most well-known Disney franchises, including Disney Princess and Disney Fairies, Winnie the Pooh, the Disney∙Pixar films Cars and Toy Story, and Disney Channel’s hit series Hannah Montana. It incorporates unique patterns, color treatments and design elements that subtly bring to life these Disney properties.
Tire tracks aka Mater from Lightning McQueen.
Winnie the Pooh is the basis for “Friendly Old Bear,” with a silhouette of the famous bear etched into the pattern and that’s just one example of many in the series.
Each assortment has its own unique color palette to compliment other Disney Home interior products. We’ll have the display in our showroom in April and I can guarantee you my daughter will have Tinker Bell or Cinderella on her floor the moment it’s available!
Here is a link to an interview on Floor Daily explaining it.
All the best!

From the Mohawk site -
“Mohawk leads innovation in sustainable flooring with SmartStrand® carpet with DuPont™ Sorona® renewably sourced polymer. In a partnership withDuPont, this carpet exclusively offers fiber made with Bio-PDO™ (the key Sorona® ingredient), which is produced from corn sugar.
By utilizing this new ingredient, 37 percent of Sorona® is being made from renewable resources. This marks the first time that a luxuriously soft carpet offers durability and stain protection, while also making less of an environmental impact.
Why is this carpet environmentally smart?
DuPont™ Sorona® plays a major role in the worldwide objective of a renewable economy and represents a new frontier in sustainability. This carpet is environmentally smart because:
The production of Sorona® polymer requires 30 percent less energy than the production of an equal amount of nylon.
Greenhouse gas emissions from the production of Sorona® are 63 percent lower than nylon manufacturing.
This energy reduction results in approximately one gallon of gasoline saved per every seven square yards of carpet.
The superior stain resistance of SmartStrand® carpet is engineered into the fiber and will never wear or wash off, meaning consumers will never need to retreat the carpet with stain protectors after steam cleaning. And this engineered-in stain resistance reaches new levels of protection, allowing tough stains such as mustard, red wine, and cherry Kool-Aid® to be removed simply with warm water and a mild detergent, or with Mohawk FloorCare™ Essentials. The fiber even resists discoloration from bleach.”
At Alexandria Carpet One, we provide our customers with thousands of square feet of this wonderfully-soft, durable carpet each month. In fact, it’s on our showroom floor with 5 different types of cushion underneath to give you a real-world idea of what it will feel like with different cushions… and how it will hold up. That’s because our showroom is extremely busy and we chose to put it to the test.
It’s performing flawlessly!
