wow. that was gross.

so, yesterday, i was doing some cleaning in a room upstairs. and i spilled some tea. i mopped it up as best i could, but i just knew the rug was still be nasty. which made me realize i'd never shampood most of the rug up there. so it was probably extra-nasty. cats have horked on it over the past 5 years. who knows when the last time was that these rugs were cleaned...

so today, i vacuumed and then ran the rug cleaner over much of the rug up there. and then i had to clean out the rug-cleaner.

that was some nasty nasty stuff.

and now i'm waiting for the rug to dry so i can wiggle my toes in the clean rug.

bonus: found a bunch of not-vile-scented candles today on sale for wicked cheap and picked up a few. i'd been on the lookout for good ones because i was nearly out.

rmd + rug cleaner = LUV!
You write more about that baby than about clauclauclaudia ;-)
Not that it is unjustified: having tried yours and gotten one ourselves, I know whereof you speak!

clauclauclaudia has her own journal. i am not so enamoured of my household devices that i set them up with their own lj's. :-)

Because someone needed to say it!

BTW, were I you, I would shampoo it again if it was that bad. Two times is akin to putting an extra coat of paint on. It can't hurt, and it will most likely be more effective.

woohoo comment of the day!

yeah, i'll run it over again. i just like to give it a few days to make sure everything is completely dried out before soaking it down again.

I have this theory that the cleaning fluid you put into carpet cleaners doesn't do anything except turn brown and stinky when mixed with water.

this time it generated big clumps of fur, too. perhaps i've got an upgraded shampoo catalyst.
