Hey there! Welcome to an exciting journey with Best Carpet Value—where we make sure your floor dreams come true. Today, we’re diving into the cool ways you can lay down those stylish 18” x 36” carpet tiles. Spoiler alert: Your floor’s about to become the talk of the town!
Horizontal Patterns: A Classic Twist
First up, let’s chat about the horizontal pattern. You simply line up the tiles so the stripes run sideways. Picture it as stripes on a cozy sweater, making your floor look both comfy and chic. Easy-peasy, right?
Vertical Patterns: Stand Tall
Now, flip the script—literally! For the vertical pattern, you just nudge those stripes to stand tall. Imagine it like the stripes on a referee’s shirt, but way more stylish. Just a little twist, and voila, a whole new vibe.
Mix It Up: Create Unique Patterns
Here’s where things get spicy. By moving a couple of tiles around, you can craft a brand-new pattern. Think of it like solving a puzzle, where every piece makes your floor a masterpiece. It’s like adding a sprinkle of magic to your home decor.

Visit [ Value Carpet, Inc., ], (, https, //valuecarpetinc.com ) for more information on carpet tiles Hi, I’m here today with Best Carpet Value and we’re going to talk about the 18” x 36” carpet tiles and the different ways of laying them to create various patterns. The first method Is laying them in a horizontal pattern To do this? You want all the carpet tiles positioned so that the stripes are horizontal like this. Okay, The second method is to lay them vertically. These two squares demonstrate how you would arrange them vertically. You would twist the other two in the same way, To create a pattern, we’re going to remove this one just so, you can see Two tiles equal the length of one of these. So all you do is move this one over and this creates a different pattern. So we have the vertical the horizontal and the pattern.

Hi guys, this is the process of how I made a latch hook rug. I changed the carpet in my room to flooring. I wanted to add an area rug but there werenāt many options for me to choose from. So, I figured why not make one. It could be whatever size I wanted, which at the time was a 4 1/2ā x 5 1/2ā rug. I went on Amazon and ordered 2 mesh canvases, latch hooks, and 10 rolls of yarn. I also bought a 5āx8ā rug pad from Ross. Make sure that your yarn isnāt too thin. I cut pieces of yarn to be 2 1/2ā. I would cut a couple of 20ā pieces, cut it in half making it 10ā, and cut it in half 2 more times making it 2 1/2ā.
I found a better method after my 6th roll of yarn. I cut 2 pieces of cardboard at 2 1/4ā x 4ā. I cut a smaller piece at 1 1/4ā x 3ā. I glued the smaller piece between the 2 strips. Then, I wrapped my yarn around it and held the yarn down before cutting it. To attach the yarn, I used the rows of the canvas that looked more durable. I left 4 rows on all sides. Place the hook under and up 1 of the squares. The latch should be open. With the yarn under the hook, align the ends to find the center. Pull the hook down slightly, so that the yarn can go under the latch.
Bring the yarn to 1 side, up, and across. Next, pull the hook down and the ends of the yarn should go through the loop created. It should look like a reverse lark's head knot. Continue doing this and make sure that all the knots face the same direction. Since I planned on making a large rug, I knew that I'd need to connect 2 pieces of mesh canvas. To speed up the process, hereās what I started doing. I aligned the ends of the yarn before placing the hook through it.
I faced my hook away from the other pieces of yarn, turned it slightly to catch the yarn and turned it back before pulling the hook through the loop. I attached 3 or 4 pieces of yarn, then pulled them all tight at once. After a roll of yarn, I realized that this would take months and I wouldnāt have enough yarn. So, I decided to make a runner rug, that would be a 5 1/2 ft x 1 1/2 ft. Halfway through making this, I ordered a shag area rug from Target. But I still wanted to finish this rug. So, this rug might end up going in another room. I also decided to add a design, but something not too busy.
I made double xās and double triangles. I also made this cross cross pattern. I later changed it because it didnāt seem like it matched the other 2 symbols. So, I made double diamonds. Itās like the other half of the double triangles and has the double xās in it. I connected the 2 canvases by overlapping the 4 rows. With a needle and thread, I combined them with a whip stitch. I stitched 2 rows and cut off the extra rows. Then, I attached the yarn through both layers. For the edges, I folded over 2 rows and sewed the 2 layers together using a whip stitch.
I cut the corners and overlapped the sides. You could do this step at the beginning of making your rug, if you already know how big youāre going to make it. Next, I latch hooked the 2 rows around all the sides. I ended using 9 rolls of yarn. You definitely should add a rug pad or some kind of grip for this, so that it doesnāt slide and hereās how it turned out. This took me a month to make. If you do decide try latch hooking, Iād suggest making a small rug or tapestry..

hi everybody Welcome to my channel this isĀ
hopefully going to be a quick video showingĀ Ā you how to fix your Bissell cleaner the waterĀ
tank is full the Bissell solution tank is fullĀ Ā but for some reason there was no water when IĀ
hit the trigger in the back there was no waterĀ Ā or any solution being sucked back up I've goneĀ
ahead and taken off the screw first of all IĀ Ā unplugged it I took off the screw here andĀ
then there's one on each side here there'sĀ Ā actually a secondary screw down here I'veĀ
already taken my finger and kind of clearedĀ Ā the way but I think this is probably where theĀ
water shoots out at and there just was so muchĀ Ā gunk in front of there it wasn't allowing thatĀ
to happen so hopefully that is the problem andĀ Ā there isn't like a problem with a belt or theĀ
actual trigger switch there's just so much gunkĀ Ā look at all of this there's all this buildupĀ
Gunk from carpet I'm assuming the problem isĀ Ā it couldn't come out in in the first placeĀ
so I'm going to get this all cleaned up putĀ Ā it back together and give it a whirl andĀ
hopefully that is what it took to fix it.Ā I plugged everything back in and that does notĀ
seem to be the problem I think there might beĀ Ā a clog I actually stored that cleaner inĀ
the tank and I think just based on whatĀ Ā I saw underneath I have a feeling there is aĀ
clog in here so what I'm going to do is takeĀ Ā a screwdriver and take all this off and seeĀ
if I can find some type of a plug somewhere okay there were a couple screws there thereĀ
there and there which was looked like thatĀ Ā okay the lines just a quick look over here I'mĀ
not seeing any apparent jams everything looksĀ Ā fairly clean so I am going to look in I'm I'mĀ
thinking there's some type of a build up within IĀ Ā I think this is the heater but I can alreadyĀ
see like some corrosion and stuff on that okayĀ Ā I got all the screws out oh holy smokes I'mĀ
gonna clean that out and then I'm gonna checkĀ Ā double check all of these other lines I thinkĀ
that I've learned not to store I think theĀ Ā soap just gets built up we do have hard waterĀ
I live in the country I'm gonna go get a Q-tipĀ Ā so I'm gonna try to clean this and hold my cameraĀ
steady that's just really disgusting look at thatĀ Ā gross I would suggest putting it looks likeĀ
we're going into surgery here oh yuck gross if I had this out in my shop I might even getĀ
my air compressor out and try to blow that outĀ Ā um but I'm gonna clean this…oh grody, itĀ
looks like cottage cheese or something in there.
If you have a problem with water spraying IĀ
honestly think this is probably the first placeĀ Ā I'd check all right so that is all the crud I dugĀ
out of there um one thing to be very cautious ofĀ Ā there's like these little red washers or gasketsĀ
whatever you want to call them um they're locatedĀ Ā here you want to make sure you don't lose any andĀ
that obviously is a soap because it can it smellsĀ Ā like soap and the flow obviously is blocked soĀ
I'm going to try to put it back together maybeĀ Ā checking a couple of these tubes and fire it upĀ
and see if the water and the soap doesn't flow nowĀ Ā okay I have it reassembled I'mĀ
gonna turn it on and see if it works [Cleaner running but not spraying]Ā
It's still not gonna work.
Okay so I want to show you this a couple otherĀ
things while I have this apart this is actuallyĀ Ā the filter that goes on the bottom of the waterĀ
tank and it does pop apart so I took that andĀ Ā I ran that and flushed it under hot water andĀ
I do believe that the one with I believe thisĀ Ā I believe this tank also has one of theseĀ
at the bottom so I'm going to flush thatĀ Ā out and yet another place to check in theĀ
top of the head of this vacuum where theĀ Ā tank is there's another filter so I took thatĀ
off and washed it too it had some crud in itĀ Ā for good measure I'm also going to take these offĀ
and clean them probably you're going to need someĀ Ā type of pliers and squeeze this part and I'm goingĀ
to take these off and wash them as well all rightĀ Ā so I have those back on but I'm kind of lookingĀ
at these tubes this right here looks like a lot ofĀ Ā crystallization right here and build up that looksĀ
like there might be some sediment in there tooĀ Ā um I'm just going to kind ofĀ
clean out every hose and I alsoĀ Ā don't like taking things apart because I oftenĀ
I'm like oh how did I put them back together soĀ Ā what I would suggest is before you take anythingĀ
apart take a photo of it first that way you canĀ Ā look back and see exactly what it is you tookĀ
apart this is a lot of the electrical I reallyĀ Ā don't want to touch that I just do think thoughĀ
that these things need taken apart and that thatĀ Ā could be a huge problem right there that looksĀ
like a build up um I took some of these apartĀ Ā I'm getting very familiar with this systemĀ
you're going to need to use some type ofĀ Ā pliers I have my needle nose pliers it'sĀ
kind of hard to film this and do it butĀ Ā I'm going to squish that and take that apart nextĀ
I cleaned out this line I cleaned out that lineĀ Ā where is it had very fine as youĀ
can see like a build up in there here's some more Gunk that I wasĀ
able to get out but then I noticedĀ Ā within this line it looks like there's a buildĀ
up there and I did notice it was odd that notĀ Ā only wasn't water coming out the front here likeĀ
it's supposed to but also this tool this handĀ Ā tool here with the sprayer nothing was comingĀ
out there too I think that goes up through theĀ Ā vacuum and ultimately I think the other end of itĀ
is right here so I'm going to take this apart tryĀ Ā to rinse it maybe from this side okay I think thatĀ
worked or is working I think that was it I pouredĀ Ā what I did was took that other end and poured itĀ
in the sink and I didn't think that'd be enoughĀ Ā to flush it but I held it up a little bit and letĀ
gravity work and it flushed all of that junk outĀ Ā so I'm going to try to reassemble it and give it aĀ
try okay so the more I look the more clogs I findĀ Ā this is now clear and then I was getting ready toĀ
put this back and that's just for the heck of it IĀ Ā thought I'd look here and as I pull this coil backĀ
look at that there's a massive clog there too soĀ Ā I'm going to take it apart here and empty all thatĀ
out I'm going to put a paper towel underneath itĀ Ā because I don't want the inside of this to beĀ
all wet so here's another area to look at and IĀ Ā do believe these are clear I think I looked atĀ
them earlier but if you want to know for sureĀ Ā these coils kind of obscure blockage but it looks is there anything in there thatĀ
actually looks like it's pretty clear Let me see if my camera will pick that up soĀ
that looks like it's clear from there there and those look okay I'm gonna check this one too all right so all right there's some blockageĀ
in here I've also been using a paper clip toĀ Ā kind of some of these connections I kind ofĀ
reamed that out with that so all right let'sĀ Ā take a look at this and then maybe I'll partiallyĀ
assemble it and try to run a little water through gross so there is a little crud did I get it allĀ Ā I just want to make sure I got it all thatĀ
and it looks like I did it looked really bad It looked like a lot more build up in theĀ
tube than that there is a little bit I'mĀ Ā going to take that pipe cleaner and get theĀ
rest out but there is some buildup that couldĀ Ā have been enough just to block this and I'mĀ
going to make sure that this is clear too could that have been enough toĀ
keep it from working I don't knowĀ Ā combined all these blockages yes all rightĀ
so this did not work before what I'm doingĀ Ā is just kind of letting the heater run andĀ
flushing the water out into the sink [Music] The hand tool is working! The unit is workingĀ Ā too!
YEA it's gonna work now! what I think really helped was to FullĀ
Throttle run the water through the handĀ Ā tool because you can get like a nice sprayĀ
coming out and I think I did about threeĀ Ā loads of this tank and now I see that the waterĀ
is actually coming through the front so I thinkĀ Ā that that just needed time for all of thoseĀ
things to unclog and running it through theĀ Ā hand tool rather than through all of theseĀ
very fine things in the front I think thatĀ Ā was the trick so I actually fixed it and I'mĀ
going to show a closing shot of it working.
I hope this was helpful! Don't forgetĀ
