Kids and carpet

madmadmummy by madmadmummy Talking(February 2007) (rank 408th)
For some weird reason the person who owns my apartment put white carpet in here. Why you would put white carpet in a rental is beyond me.

So with white carpet and a toddler, spots are inevitable and frequent. So here is my trick. Napisan - or any nappy
bleach.

Dilute it and scrub high traffic areas with it every couple of months. It works a treat and is a hell of a lot cheaper than getting a carpet cleaner in.

White carpet?

White carpet shouldn't exist in any family home. What were they thinking? They deserve to get stained and grubby looking carpet. Great idea. I have a dark coloured rug and with a 6 month old chuckin on it, it had white marks all over it. So i used homebrand floor disinfectant diluted and scrubbed the rug with that. It worked wonders and its hygenic too. Now it looks brand new.
