Oh yeah, does the enzymatic sprays work for pet accidents?

Oh it definitely is. Also consider having to work in a humid room as you’ll be working with a wet carpet too. Not gonna be fun on a hot day unless you have ventilation and air-conditioning.

Hey, sorry, no - I am in Australia. Looking at Spot Shot’s site it seems they are one of the products owned by WD-40, so they seem reputable. If using chemicals test in a small area to ensure the colour doesn’t leech out like you do with clothes.

I’d use Spot Shot for more stubborn and difficult stains like coffee if you couldn’t get to it fast enough, but the basic cleaning products (water, dish soap, vinegar & bicarb, etc) will work fine as they’ll dilute before the stain can set in.

Don’t tempt your luck with red drinks though.

Handheld ones with the motorised brush are great for fluffing up the carpet while maintaining great manoeuvrability and without lugging a heavy weight beind you.

In this case the Dyson v7 or greater will work well if it is a small / medium house.

Oh rental? Take photos as evidence that it is natural wear and tear in case the landlord claims damage.

Scuffed carpets are normal from dragging furniture over it (eg chairs) and flattening from foot traffic.

I wouldn’t bother with a professional carpet cleaner unless you have a big spill or upon your exit.

Spot clean immediately or asap if you get a spill. Prevent the spill from spreading while you clean by blotting / dabbing with clean towels (a roll of toilet paper helps with this), and if needed scrub as small as you can.

If you do get an inevitable stain, consider if you can get furniture to place it on top or change to dimmer lighting to hide it 😉

I think you’ve already found your preferred frequency. The frequency largely depends on one’s personal preferences, just like with cleaning bedding and the rest of the house.

If you want to let your carpet develop a stank and keep stains be my guest. Though if I am your guest I might have opinions.

Tile is too damn cold in winter. Put down faux wood panels if you can, or linoleum.

IMO very rarely. You’d use it if something had majorly soiled the carpet that’s bigger than a spot clean or if you are freshening up, such as an exit or spring clean.

It’s a time consuming process, as you aren’t scrubbing the carpet - just spraying in soap and sucking it back out several times until the soap / water comes out clean.

Yeah thought this was !badposting@hexbear.net for a moment

You can also press and hold the arrow key on the Desktop. I assume this works because of keyboard based navigation

Yeah rip solar eclipses

It only had two modes for the VGA source, 16:9 and 4:3. The 16:9 is the right ratio for the laptop but had the offset issue. The 4:3 makes it stretched out / squashed, but it doesn’t have the offset issue.

I was looking into this earlier to try fixing a display that was being offset on an old tv screen. The display was going off the left side of the TV, causing a black bar on the right side.

I was trying xrandr, and fixed it somewhat by offsetting the display back, but somehow it did not fix the right side - it seemed as if the display had went under the black bar.

But yeah you can offset, stretch, skew and rotate with xrandr
