Can you put a box over wet carpet.

Can i stay in the room. I put down a transparent sheet of plastic 2mm thick painters drop cloth style much bigger than the litter box on the carpet. Cheap enough and the cotton bath mat can go into the washer. Wood laminate flooring directly over the carpet.

I then put a regular sized heavy cotton bath mat in front of the box. Can i put back furniture on the wet carpet. I pre cut several plastic sheets to have them on hand in case they get soiled. A neutral color with a cut wool pile and no heathering or interesting variation.

I have my study table and computer. I don t really mind about the furniture its kinda old. Walking too soon can track dirt into the still wet carpet and moving furniture before the carpet is thoroughly dry can dent the fibers or leave rust or stains from furniture finishes. You want the rug to bring life to the floor like in laura s adorable melbourne home shown above where she layered a graphic flat weave over beige carpet and a basic tiled hearth.

A rug over carpet. I have two questions. We are cleaning the whole house with rug doctor because we are selling the house. Sure i d get my security deposit back but i d have to live with a disgusting 8 x 10 cover up in the meantime.

Let the baking soda sit on the carpet for several hours up to 24 hours to allow it ample time to soak up the remaining moisture and odor from the carpet. And if the existing carpet was glued down not tacked it can be a huge time saver to lay the new carpet over the old. It saves on the cost and labor of pulling up and disposing of the existing carpet keeping carpet waste materials out of the landfill. Sprinkle a large amount of baking soda over the damp carpet.

We didn t know enough about our future to justify the time and expense. In most cases wall to wall carpeting is very basic. On the face of it installing new carpet over the old carpet does have some advantages.
