Q: Can you tell me why my wall-to-wall carpeting is darker where it meets the baseboards? Regular vacuuming does not seem to remove this dirty-looking smudge. The carpet is less than three years old and is light beige.

The 18x24-in. carpet samples you often get from a carpet store have many uses: Lay them down in front of a workbench or washing machine as a floor cushion. Slice them up and tape the strips to the top of a sawhorse. Glue a piece to a step stool for a nonslip surface. Or use them in a car or truck as rugged floor mats.
