Carpet Emergency

The carpet in our livingroom is gross - or was anyway, until last night. Kaylinn had decided to eat the plant a few weeks ago which left unknown amounts of dirt, in addition to her last few accidents in the 'puppy training days' following our previous carpet cleaning experience, in addition to the normal 3 animal cat dander and normal family wear and tear all carpet sees. So, last night I borrowed Cynthia's carpet steamer and set out to deal with the issue, prior to a little Christmas party/s'more eating extravaganza we'll be hosting tomorrow.

After nearly 3 hours and about 15 water changes in the steamer, our carpet looks AMAZINGLY different. a) you can't actually SEE the stains everywhere, b) it doesn't vaguely smell like animal urine and c) it's not a dull beige, but maybe brown color. Granted it took 3 runs over the full floor, and about 5 or 6 runs over the very center to get it to this point, and could technically take 1 or 2 more, but, it is WAY better and I don't feel like I'm living in a sewer anymore.

GROSS!

Anyway, the carpet is ready for company and I am ready to go get a Christmas tree, which will fit conveniently in the area where I moved one of the chairs to clean the carpet!
