Great day UNTIL....

Did you try some enzymatic type cleaner on the carpet? They have great ones from Nature's Miracle for pet accidents and I think that should work on human stuff too.

I know you said you got it out but just in case you still have any spotting.

I was curious whether the parents felt bad about it but figured that they would probably think that it was just something that came with the territory and that you should be fine with it.

I can understand wanting some sort of empathy. It is not pleasant to deal with messy poop issues - especially when it's not your own kid.

I might look into that for the future Spixie but no I just used rug doctor stuff and a big hard scrubbing brush then ran the wet vac over with clean water to rinse and remove as much shampoo as possible. I am slowly learning to lower my expectations of others. There's nothing I can do about people like that and the only thing it results in is me getting worked up and annoyed at others.

I think it's a bit of both... To a certain extent it DOES come with the territory but on the other hand something like this is just SO GROSS how can you not want the parents to BEG for your forgiveness lol.

Someone mentioned the enzyme stuff. It's a lifesaver! My stinker of an exhusband helped develop one of them so we were always testing them out in our house before they came out on the market fully. They are nothing short of awesome!!! One we tested took a 5 year old red wine stain out of my carpet. Later on, I bought stuff called OUT!!! Got blood stains out of a pillow case. This is the same stuff I used when I had my kitten rehabilitation gig (as adorable as it sounds) and it worked miracles on stains and smells. And there was the time that my Labrador Retriever ate as much horse manure as he'd rolled in and then threw it up on the carpet. It was one of those 'maybe it's just easier to move' scenarios, but the cleaner worked (with some effort and multiple doses). I'm not entirely sure if that particular brand (which was my absolute favourite) is still available, but a couple other decent ones are. One is Oxy Orange Power (I think) and another is Nature's Miracle. Also a good shot is some of that oxy-clean powder. I used the generic brand of that and it's fantastic!!!

I am so, so, so sorry that happened to you....so gross! My little brother did that as a baby. We only have to casually mention the 'chocolate pudding photo' and he'll bend to our will every time Good luck with the clean up!

I use the Nature's Miracle as my spray and wash on laundry stains since most are from food or drool etc. and it seems to do well at getting them out. Often I spray it when it happens and then spray again when I put it in the actual washing machine. Often the stain is barely visible by the time laundry day rolls around.

Well I hope they come tomorrow with something special for you !!!

thats horrible. Acually the kid is a bit too old to be doing this. I wonder if he has done this at home. Kids just don't go and do it suddenly. I would have said something to the parents about it.

I buy a product in the states called odoban and it works so good, and it really does kill smells of all sorts.
