Serious carpet help

[txcouponer]

OK, if you read my need help with beagle on the pets page you understand.... my dog got into the flour today while i am gone and there is flour all in the carpet. What do I do?? Any ideas? I vaccuumed up the excess but there is quite a bit suck in the carpet i guess due to licking. :mad: Please help if you have an idea. I can't afford cleaning service right now. Thanks...

Hmmm. I'd say just keep vacuuming over and over. What kind of vac are you using? You need a really strong one, I imagine.

And then maybe rent a rug doctor?

I used my regular main vacuum a eureka i think. It got most of it, but I don't know what he did just licking it I guess, but it is all hardened on the carpet. I was thinking of putting a bunch of water on there but am nervous as what that would do.

Don't use water, you'll make glue. (I tried the water). I got a powder all over the floor, I used a bristle scrub brush and sat on the floor and used the brush and vacuumed. It took a long time, but finally the carpet looked back to it's hunter green. Even where the dog licked the brush should help break up the mess. Good luck, it took a while.

thank you i will try the brush in a minute... these stupid dogs, seriously. it already turned into glue i guess then hardened. but i am glad you told me not to add water. i will let you know how it goes

On the brightside, if your pet snake gets loose, you will now be able to locate him by following his marks through the flour!
