Default Dog sick on carpet - gf wants to replace it

At first I thought she wanted to replace the dog so I said yes as I cant stand the poncy thing (some kind of pathetic tiny girly dog) but it turns out she wants to replace the flipping carpet that is only 3 months old!

FFS there's a tiny patch about 2" square which I had to cleanup last night while she pandered to the little rat

So I told her that as its HER dog if she wants to replace a £1200 carpet then she can bleeding well pay for it and I went off for a couple of beers down my local.

This morning she gave me her version of "breakfast in bed" and is now guilting me into agreeing to renew the carpet.

What do I do

Dont be a tool. Go buy yourself a £200 vac/wash hoover like I did, use that to wash the carpets. My g/f's cats are constantly being sick or sh1tty themselves on my carpet (cream / biege ) and this did the trick. I brought mine online, got all the attachments etc.

This is the best way forward, as spraying cleaner on it, then wiping cloths over it just pushes the smell back in. By using a wet vac, you can wash the carpets, then use carpet shampoo, then suck up the cr4ppy water.

Failing that, do what Im considering and throw the dog / girlfriend out, 8loody women ! Dont even start me on cat hair and the problems that brings ! :-( My carpets cost me £5K, but does my 8itch of a girlfriend respect that, ohhhh no, her cats are always in the right and she never clears up after herself, or emptys the f**king bin, why do we even need girlfriends ? if only just for a **** ? ............ ohhh anyway,

best of luck.

There are all manners of carpet cleaners out there, from aerosol cans to stand alone electric cleaners all of which will do the job.

Steam cleaners can be had for £20 and work well.

Ask her this - is she going to want a new carpet every time the dog throws up?

And then say thank you for the sex, but no, I'm not replacing it.

Rent a 'Rug Doctor' from Homebase for 24hrs? Cheap and effictive.

Oh, and accidentally run the dog over with the car. Or hitch it to the bumper and go for a nice pleasant drive in the country with the stereo cranked up loud, and dispose of the remnants of the lead on your return home.

If you could lay your bird as well as the carpet appears to be, then you'd not be acting like a ***** and instead tell her to *** off as she wont see it from the kitchen

The carpet in my opinion is now clean (used a wet n dry hoover I have in the garage) but is still a little bit damp as it will take a few days to dry fully.

As far as I'm concerned thats the end of it, but gf is convinced its gonna develope a stain and start smelling though I cant see how?

When I returned from the pub gf was very attentive and like I said in my original post was extra nice this morning I know she's just trying to win me round to her way of thinking but its not gonna work - but I can't help feeling like its me thats in the wrong.

Can someone just post up that it wont develope a stain and start smelling and say you're a carpet expert or something and I will edit this bit out and show her your post

I think that's terrible, the carpet will be stained forever, you can never get rid of dog sick, and it can damage your health, you should definitely buy a new carpet I reckon

Take her doggy style in the living room, push her face into where the 'dog sick' was, if she can still smell is she'll push back a good 'un, then you'll have to change the carpet I'm afraid.

Sounds like it's going to be a lot of fun if/when she has some kids throwing up and leaking nappies. That's before they get to the "aren't biros fun stage"

I'd just concrete everything

Of course if she has a sense of humour left you could just cut out the tiny soiled square and glue in a matching size bit of old carpet.......

Buy one, make one! Kill and skin dog, dispose of carcase, wash and tumble dry skin, apply to floor to cover up stain.

2 thoughts.

1/ Is it not possible to get this cleaned to the point of being undetectable? Parents and grand-parents (OK, mothers and grand mothers) are normally great for knowing how to deal with this sort of problem.

2/ Do you have accidental damage on your contents insurance?

Whatever else, act quickly and get the stain removed ASAP. Otherwise she'll brainwash herself into thinking she's right every time she looks at it. One day you'll come home and she'll have replaced the carpet anyway.
