It gets tougher if you cannot remove the stains in your carpet. When I had my share of experience with difficult stains, I consulted the experts from our local <a href="http://bobscarpet.com/" rel="nofollow">tile stores (Tampa)</a> where I bought my <a href="http://www.bobscarpet.com/contentpage.aspx?Id=9423" rel="nofollow">stainmaster carpet (Tampa)</a>. They told me that stains in carpets should be treated as soon as possible. To remove stains, use dry cloth or a paper towel to blot up as much as possible the liquid or debris. I never knew that rubbing or scrubbing the area with a rag can damage the fibers and even possibly create a permanent scar in the carpet.Kathyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05887147021562765601noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25191821.post-12562725047763600902010-05-14T19:25:55.998-05:002010-05-14T19:25:55.998-05:00And then there was the house in Socorro on the AAU...And then there was the house in Socorro on the AAUW Christmas tour that had a white shag carpet in the kitchen. I was told they ate no meals at all at home, and the only reason they had a kitchen was because housing codes required one.<br /><br />Yes. The kitchen.<br /><br />Some times I think a house with small children should be decorated in dog food brown. Too practical; it would never fly.<br /><br />Wait until they are out of high school? No. They will be in college and you will be helping with tuition.<br /><br />You just can't win. But oh my the stories they generate!<br /><br />-ChanterelleAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25191821.post-64385805285940408302010-05-14T18:42:23.962-05:002010-05-14T18:42:23.962-05:00Uncanny.

I have a list of things in my head that I'm waiting to get (and good thing I can't afford anything right now anyways) when the kids are out of certain messy stages.

I 'rescued' it from someone else and put in my den. Then I forbid anyone from going into the living room. Three years later, I made my husband sneak the couch out to the dump after dark so the neighbors wouldn't know we had such a horrible thing in the house. However, my living room couch still looked like new!Cathy G.https://www.blogger.com/profile/11322035150239590436noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25191821.post-74573716278530743632010-05-12T21:04:19.355-05:002010-05-12T21:04:19.355-05:00If it makes you feel better, we were stupid enough...If it makes you feel better, we were stupid enough to carpet the living room, hallway and all the bedrooms in white carpet. <br /><br />We also have 2 kids (another on the way), a black dog and a cat. <br /><br />Between the dog hair, spills, poop, pee, vomit and other asundery stains, our carpet is a nice muddy shade of blah.Strangeitehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04621301208142537431noreply@blogger.com
