Who doesn’t love to read about poop stories? Well…maybe no one really but I’m going to share anyways because it relates to a review I did of the Hoover Platinum Carpet Cleaner a few months back. I showed you what it did to our dingy rug but the true test came this past week.
Kaydence, my spirited and willful 2 year is in the midst of potty training. We’re not really pushing her one way or the other, just sort of letting it happen naturally. We ask if she needs to use the potty, she tries, she doesn’t go, it’s no big deal. It only becomes a big deal when she decides to self potty train and take her diaper off during her naps. The poopy ones. I’m sure you can see where this is going. No? Let me show you…
Yes my friends, that is poop on the carpet with a side of pee. A work of art. Like an good mother, I stood in the doorway and silently cursed at myself for not remembering to put her pajamas on backwards so she couldn’t reach the zipper then pulled out the Hoover Carpet Cleaner. Honestly, I really didn’t think this was going to come up with any amount of ease and was prepared to pull out a sponge and the Dawn.
I ended up going over the area 3 times with the carpet cleaner and with each swipe I started to see poop slowly fade.
I actually have another poop story to go along with this one, but I’ll have to save that for another day. It’s too disgustingly hilarious to share with this poopy tragedy.
Cat,
There goes lunch! I’m glad your carpet was able to return to “new.” We had a pretty, short shag carpet in our last house in the master bedroom and of course, it was in that room where the poop bandit decided to strike. Can you imagine getting it out of the fibers? There were brown highlights (part of the design) in the carpet, so I had to distinguish poop in the carpet strands vs. design detail. Now, we are a proud (and mommy is happier) hardwood floor family and life is so much easier to clean up messes. Even the dust bunnies aren’t so bad.
I had to scroll really fast over the incident photo – just gross (but kinda funny!) Glad it came up!
Oh no that stinks! lol ;) Glad you got it all out with your Hoover though. I’m going to clean my carpets again this week with mine.
Ah the poop stories ;) LOL yea I hear you, glad it’s all clean now LOL you know when we just moved to this house, and my little girl was like two and a half her biggest trill was to empty her diaper and make wall art in her room with the above mentioned supply LMAO…so glad she’s over it LOL and doesn’t remember a thing :D
Thats funny but gross my grandbaby pulls her diaper off and well you know!
Now *THAT*, ladies and gentlemen, is a vacuum. Diaper stories!
What mommy wouldn’t like a good poop story, I think if you are a mommy, you have been there once or twice. Just be glad you have a carpet cleaner. :)
Your carpet cleaner did a great job. I would be throughly grossed out, but it’s part of the mom description, isn’t it?
What is about them ans taking off their clothes and diapers knowin there is a surprise in them. At least you had the Hoover because I never had one to help out :)
how long would it take for me to drive over to your house to borrow that? I
I wasn’t done writing the dang comment submitted
IF i take a picture of my carpet and send it to you will that work? LOL
WOowo whooo hurry for a clean carpet and no more poop.
Cat, I”m sorry, but with 2 byos, I’m over here dying! That could’ve just as easily been my house. I’m glad the carpet cleaner worked that well for you. It also makes me glad the only carpeting I have is an area rug in my living room.
Oh geeez!
Well, at least she’s artistic…? >.<
At least that vacuum worked too. Lol
perhaps i should invest in one of those…
I think there has never been a better, more disgusting review of anything, ever. I found myself wanting the hoover, and yet wanting to heave at the same time…
Pleassse…let me send Kaydee over to your house. I’ll send the Hoover with her and you can share a poop story too. LOL
Ahhh, poop stories. I have been living it for too many years now. I finally ripped out the carpet, threw away the sofa, and resorted to wood floors, and wood furniture (easier to clean). I unintentionally kept a mental log of where each “accident” had occured, and even though it was all cleaned up afterwards, I still had the image imbedded in my memory. Kind of like a forensic investigator with one of those floresent lights to show all the stains of the ‘scene of the crime’!
Glad that came out. I have experience with those. In fact, I desperately need one of those!
Wow, first, I’m impressed with the shampooer, and second, this is why parenting advice is always helpful: because it’s just never occurred to me that my soon to be born boy might have to have his pjs put on backwards so he doesn’t fling diapers…thanks for the heads-up ;)
oh myyyyyyyy….yucky and hilarious both at the same time..heheheh..loved this post.. :)
