Day Five

Today we rented a Rug Doctor. It helped at lot...at least with the dirt. It's hard to tell if it helped with the smell because the wet carpet smells like wet dog. We went over each area of the house four times, and the water is still coming up pretty dirty. But we only have the Rug Doctor for 24 hours, so we didn't really have time to do more than that.



While Josh was cleaning the carpets in the bedrooms, I was working on the living room.



Once I got all the crap out and got it vacuumed, I cleaned it with the Rug Doctor. I was amazed at how well most of the stains came out. I did have to go over some of them 10+ times, but the carpet actually looks decent now, and there will be a couch over the one major stain that was left.



Then I moved on to the dining room and moved the table into the living room so I could clean the carpet.





That one corner of the dining room is really bad. I went over it nine times, and you can hardly tell I did anything at all. That carpet is going to have to be replaced for sure.
