Little Gifts Posted August 10, 2012 Share Posted August 10, 2012 Dogs are colour blind aren't they? Maybe they think rugs and carpet are the texture closest to grass they can find indoors? Even though I have lots of concrete outside no dog has ever vommed on anything but grass out there that I know of so maybe they really do know about splashback!

Pollywaffle Posted August 10, 2012 Share Posted August 10, 2012 we literally had to replace our one year old carpet with tiles, when my girl took to pooing/peeing on them..my theory, it was nice and cosy (and in winter, warm) on her backside. You want to be comfortable doing these things don't you! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kiesha09 Posted August 10, 2012 Share Posted August 10, 2012 My two dogs actively seek out either the carpet, floor rugs or my doona over spewing on the tiles. What is with that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Red Fox Posted August 11, 2012 Share Posted August 11, 2012 The best thing we ever bought was a Bissel carpet cleaner (power wash). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mita Posted August 11, 2012 Share Posted August 11, 2012 (edited) We have polished wood floors....and one room with carpet and a number of carpet mats. I've bought expensive carpet spot cleaner over the years and it's been as useful as water. Last week I bought some Woolworths homebrand (Select) carpet cleaner...label said it cleaned, helped remove grubby spots and deodorized. Only cheap....less than $5. Expected it to be even less useful. But it was brilliant. I sprayed it over the carpet and the carpet mats.....and gave special attention to the grubby spots. All came up like new. Next time, I'll put in a couple of drops of Nil-Odor to add even more to the deodorizing effect. Edited August 12, 2012 by mita Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ash1 Posted August 11, 2012 Share Posted August 11, 2012 The best thing we ever bought was a Bissel carpet cleaner (power wash). I'll attest to that. I used ours for years (no longer need it as we have no carpets). It was brilliant and MUCH cheaper than hiring one from the supermarket or getting a professional in to clean the carpets. A tip if anyone has one or is getting one; instead of the expensive anti-foam solution sold at the supermarkets, use homebrand fabric softener. A professional carpet cleaner gave me this tip and it worked like a charm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staffyluv Posted August 11, 2012 Share Posted August 11, 2012 I have floor boards through the house but 2 room sized rugs (one in the lounge and one in the hall, right at the front door).. Every time Ziggy chucks, it is on the rug at the front door... I use that preen carpet cleaner stuff in the pink bottle... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Naomi Posted August 11, 2012 Share Posted August 11, 2012 Luckily I don't think I've had to deal with vom on the carpet. Our boy gives us way too much warning. It's only happened a few times .. He smiles. His lips pull up at the side and he gets this hilarious sleezy smiley look on his face. But at the time OH and I are usually going "he's smiling!!!! Quick get him outside!"
