So last night we were vacuuming the carpets and they started to smell like burning dog hair! EEEEEWWWWWWWW!!!! At that point I went to the cabinet under the sink only to find we were out of carpet freshening power! Sad moment!
Thank god we had a quick fix! Medicated foot powder!! Just lightly sprinkle it over the carpet before you vacuum and it won't smell like you have a litter of sheep dogs stuck in a smoldering trash can!
Have a wonderful fresh day!!

It’s a good thing you were able to come up with an immediate alternative. Next time though, just to be sure, brush the carpet first before vacuuming or run a broom over it. Giving the carpet light misting can also help prevent burnt furs, in case you forgot to sprinkle carpet powder. ;] -->Pete
ReplyDeleteHave you tried cleaning your carpet manually? Aside from freshening powder, you can make your own carpet cleaner and mix in some essential oils of your choice. It is guaranteed to be safe and effective. Not only will you be doing a favor for your health and the environment. but you are also taking good care of your carpet as well.

Thank you guys for the ideas! I will have to try the essential oils! The main time I use the foot powder is when I'm vacuuming going out the door... but next big cleaning I am definitely going to try the oils! And for weekly cleaning the broom works great! It also helps with cleaning out the brush on the vacuum! Dog hair can be a big pain in the butt!!
