Posted a while back, now have some minor updates. Should I swap any rugs/ just get rid of any? Is my house incredibly incohesive?

Why does this happen?
I'm starting out my own carpet cleaning venture, currently doing a trial run on workflow and to see the processes efficiently.
For context, I pressure washed, sprayed pre extract, let it soak, buff + carpet shampoo, squeegee'd and finally extracted before leaving it to hangdry.
Only the stringy ends look dirty.
What can I do to prevent this?

We are building a home and trying to decide what carpet pad to choose —> Help!
The standard for the builder is 5 lb, which we obviously don’t want to do, so we are trying to choose between 6 lb and 8 lb! I don’t know the thickness of each, just the weights. Backstory: I have a lot of health issue and arthritis, so I would prefer something softer. I know 8 lb is more durable, but if we put 6lb in just our upstairs and steps, which wouldn’t see a lot of traffic, do you think it’d be okay? How long do you think it’d last?
Edit: We will be going with short pile carpet as well
Thank you!!

Help Weathering Carpet Repair
We move out of the apartment in 3 weeks (got the job offer today) and it’s either make this repair look good, or fork out $800 for the room to be carpeted.
Whole apartment has carpet less than 1yr old. Our little shit(zu) ripped up a portion in the entryway of the master bedroom. The old maintenance guy here was able to find me a scrap of carpet to patch in. I’m happy with the repair, but it’s a tall pile and now I have to wear it in so it matches the rest of the room. Any advice on how to make it blend in??
Also, the repair is maybe 8x8”. The scrap material I have left is only 14x20”

Hotel carpet for home?
Carpet is a scam, I feel like it's planned obsolescence, meant to fail and be replaced . Our current carpet is your bog standard medium pile, twisted beige shit. Every time we vacuum the canister fills with carpet fibers. The high traffic area looks like shit. Our cats claw it and fuck it all up. Time to replace, but I'm so over it. We are floor sitters, we have kids, so we know we want wall to wall carpet, just not this same old garbo. We went to a hotel this weekend and fell in love with the carpet. It was a low pile I guess, but still so comfy and luxurious, there was a nice design that is neutral and stylish at the same time. It's not twisted (braided?) so our cats couldn't mess it up as easily, and it's obviously made for high traffic. Why don't residential homes have this kind of carpet? We want to find out how to get it in our home. Any ideas? The hotel was the Langham in Boston. Help us say hell no to planned obsolescence!

Can carpet like this be sewn back together?
My cat scratched up this carpet to the point he exposed the threads, and when I vacuumed later, it opened up this big seam. I'd also like to add I'm living in an apartment, so wondering how much this would cost to be fixed/replaced so I know how much of my deposit I'm losing

Just got this custom hot dog rug for my setup! 🌭
I own Peterson’s World Famous Hot Dogs in South Carolina, and I’m always looking for ways to make my stand more memorable. I thought this would be a fun addition for customers.
Huge shoutout to Jerel Spears for making it. If you’re looking for custom rugs or videography work, definitely check him out.
What do y’all think? Would something like this catch your eye at a hot dog stand?
