how to get pine needles out of carpet??

Question

they are EVERYWHERE!!

Answer 1

Sweep it with a broom onto a hard floor. Then sweep them from there into a dust pan.

Answer 2

Next year when you bring your tree home put a plastic tablecloth under the base. That will help to catch the needles and it also keeps any water from going through to the carpet when you water the tree. Then cover that with your favorite tree skirt.

To remove the runaway needles, use just the suction hose on your vacuum cleaner to draw them out of the carpet, and be sure that when you're vacuuming always use a vacuum that has a beater bar, because that's what brings the dust and needles out of the carpet so you can get at them.

When you're watering your tree:

Use a turkey baster, because that keeps you from pouring water all over when you're doing it.
Use an ounce or two of antibacterial mouthwash in the water each time you water. It keeps the water from getting mildewy.
Another thing that's good is maple syrup.
A nourishing solution you can make yourself is one quart of water, two tablespoons of lemon juice, one tablespoon of sugar, and one-half teaspoon of liquid bleach. Now obviously you don't want to spill that on the carpet. That's why I like the turkey baster. That keeps the growth of the mold and mildew down.
Always water your tree daily.
The other thing I like to do is spritz the tree with fabric sizing or spray starch before I decorate it and it's still outside. It seems to keep the needles on the tree longer.

One thing about artificial trees, if you take them outside and shake them up, that gets out the dust and freshens them up. If you have a tree that has branches you have to stick in, you want to rub on a little petroleum jelly, because it makes them easier to put in and take out so you don't break the tree.

If you run out of hooks for your ornaments at the list minute, you can use paper clips, bobby pins, twist ties, pipe cleaners, or dental floss. There's nothing more frustrating than running out when you're in the middle of decorating.

If you are a person who likes to decorate with artificial snow spray on your windows, spray the area first with nonstick cooking spray, then put the spray on and it will wipe right off without any scrubbing or scraping.

*** you can also try needle noses pliers to pull out the needles

Answer 3

Just a guess, might try a hairbrush or one of those sticky lint roller things.

Good Luck!
