Cleaning Floorboards Before Laying Carpet

Our realtor is worried about the dog smell and would like us to clean the particle board before the new carpet is installed.

Cleaning floorboards before laying carpet.

For a couple nights and the floor is fairly clean now. The drywall mud tape guy and the guy who sprayed the ceiling left an absolute mess on the floor. In each room there are gaps around the skirting main bedroom has most of these filled but looks unsightly with cracks etc. Using this method we worked our way along each floorboard and finally wiped away any residue with clean water.

I ve cleaned scraped swept scraped mopped scraped etc. Hi guys i need to fix three bedroom floors in a victorian house circa 1890 before carpet is laid. We are getting ready to install new carpet as we are selling our house. I am laying carpet in the basement this week.

It s has a quality carpet pad and will be on top of concrete. The best floor sealer for pet urine is a stain blocking primer. It worked so well and all the smell was gone after just one application. The care that you take with flooring preparation will help your new carpet to last as long as possible.

Once you have measured asked for estimates and chosen a new carpet you must remove the old carpet. Is there any way to clean particle board flooring once the carpet is pulled up we have three dogs inside the house. Do not use a house vacuum as chunks of plaster wood chips or staples could irreparably damage it. Another has a few filled and the remaining one has none filled.

You were right to replace the carpet and pad but urine soaked through the old carpet and pad and into the wooden subfloor. After you allow the floor to dry out seal it with a subfloor sealer. We made sure to let the floor dry completely before laying the new vinyl tiles. Deodorizing a subfloor that has been soaked with pet urine requires a two step approach.

If the tile floor is especially dirty or sticky feel free to mop with an all purpose cleaner but make sure the floor is completely dry before laying down new carpet. Moisture can ruin your new carpet and padding.
