where to buy home carpet tile in Brooklyn (not FLOR)
Brooklyn
I'm looking for a contemporary runner for my 19' long hallway. I love the look of Flor but when I saw them in person, they were cheap quality, mostly unusuable with a pad (which I need for sound proofing), and quite expensive, not to mention the bad reviews on this forum. Any ideas for where to get a similar look but decent quality?Many thanks! More»

I supplied the runners (individual ones that they are stringing together), and they are going on painted wooden stairs that are currently bare. Can anyone help with what might be appropriate? More»

I've never used them at home, but businesses love these because if one tile is stained/ruined, you can always just take it out and pop a new one in -- no need to keep looking at the stain or replace the whole carpet. I think there is a Flor showroom at 142 Wooster Street in Soho and another @ 307 Al...... See More » -
Best dry cleaner to clean a sofa cover
Brooklyn
The bottom cushions of my C&B sofa have a couple of stains (juice/marker/mystery kid activity) which have resisted my normally excellent enzyme spray. The fabric is Crate & barrel tweed (meaning it's woven polyester), so it shouldn't be too hard to clean the cushion covers, but I need to find a competent upholstery dry cleaner.

Don't be insulted.. but how often do you clean? Do you have an abnormal source of dirt (nearby construction, pets, etc?)
The simple answer might just be "clean more" - especially if you're not used to carpet (even low pile tiles like flor)
