Comments (16)I assumed you were talking about a floor runner, like the clear plastic ones or a table runner of some kind. I guess I've heard of shoes being called "runners". Probably why they say "Runners, to your mark!" at the races. I got a freebie box which is how I first tried the Magic Erasers. I was quite impressed so I've been buying them but not using them as much as I probably could. But the same goes for microfibre cloths. Had I not received one as a gift, I probably never would have tried them. Hard to believe either work as well as they work. Interesting the mention of bleaching the grout. I was wondering what was going on the first time or two I used them on the bathroom sink. I get quite a buildup from the water and hadn't kept up on cleaning it. I used it and got it into decent shape so I decided enough for now and I'd work more on it later. I came back later that evening and it was noticeably whiter! I was wondering what was in it. Rumors flew about formaldehyde and magic chemicals and I was apprehensive to mix it with a cleaning solution until I researched it a bit. I see they have a Mr. Clean floor mop with a magic eraser head on it. I bought some of the generic erasers but haven't tried them yet. I guess it'd be hard to compare but they probably would be nearly as good if the price was enough cheaper. They also have larger sized ones IIRC. Just noticed this on the Mr. Clean site: "Its water-activated micro-scrubbers reach into the surface grooves, lifting away built up grease and soap scum."(emphasis added) so I guess wet is the way to go. I noticed if they weren't too wet they did tend to crumble quicker. Here'a a bunch more cleaning tips from the Mr. Clean site. There's also a Mr. Clean Professional line of cleaners out and I saw a demo of one of them that was rather impressive. They had a tile covered with dried soap scum. Took Zep HD cleaner and Mr. Clean Professional Restroom Cleaner and sprayed a paper towel with about 3 squirts of the Mr. Clean and did 1/3 of the tile with 3 passes. It was nearly clean. They took the Zep and gave probably a dozen at least squirts and gave it 12 scrubs and it was maybe 10% of the other side. It was impressive. Then used the Mr. Clean to clean the whole thing. They let people try the same test and the results were the same. As far as the refrigerator... anyone watch Kitchen Nightmares??? LOL So many cleaners... so little time!...See MoreFlokati/shag runner rug for a long hallway-- what do you think?
Comments (18)You've gotten all the choices so far. I can only add one more thing. Can you become very, very good friends with your neighbor? Somehow if she knows you and your cat, the noise won't be as disturbing. I can't imagine your cat running for hours on end. Also, if you get to know your neighbor, you too can be more considerate of distracting your cat when you know your neighbor is still sleeping, or having friends over etc. She too will understand the need for your cat to play, at least sometimes. We have noisy side neighbors. My neighborhood is turning over to young families which is fine. And, I don't mind hearing kids shout while they play. But….it is the dad that is the issue. They play soccer I think and if a kids doesn't hit a goal the dad yells OOOOOOOOooooooo. But in a friendly way, like you almost got it! One day, this went on for two hours. I timed it. There is nothing we can do, and luckily we have breaks when they are not in the yard. It just shows you how one family's enjoyment can greatly be affected.by another....See MoreHow to place runner rug in narrow hallway with angled door at end?
Comments (5)Just about any major carpet store can help you by making a custom runner and not too pricey. The cheapie way would be to get 3 short rugs (all the same) and arrange them evenly following hallway path. HD offers a limited variety of runners thru a vendor and perhaps vendor can do custom runner...See MoreAnother poster needing rug/decor help
Comments (10)sorry wrote this from my phone since that's where the photos were--hence the no spacing and word vomit. will email myself photos next time to write a clearer post. I also thought I could edit the post once posted from my phone, but I wasn't able to. The dog has serious separation anxiety plus OCD (Who knew that's dogs can have that?? not me, until a few months ago!) We have been working with an animal behaviorist who has her on quite a few meds, trainers and vets for quite awhile. While some areas have improved, us leaving is still and will likely continue to be an issue. Thankfully she is not destructive to anything--with the exception of scratching the floor from running and jumping around in that area when we leave. @anele_gw--thanks for the ideas! We do a lot of nose work and 'place' commands with long lasting treats when we leave..but as soon as she notices we left she freaks out. Crate training is not an option. She will get in a crate to nap, with an open door, but total panic (to the point of defecation) as soon as it closes, and yes she was a rescue. @RM we currently have a rubber mat under the small rug, she flips it daily in the meltdowns, but I do think a longer runner would reduce this activity considerably simply because of the size of it. My main concern is getting something that is aesthetically pleasing (while protecting the floor) since its in a main entry area of the house. Any suggestions on something that complements the other rugs in the area since they can all be seen from each other?...See MoreRelated Professionals
