Aaaaggghhhhh!!!!!

Last night whilst in lounge I heard my son on the stairs going " oh no, no no..........."

Walked into hallway and couldn't believe my eyes. Whilst running downstairs from his bedroom on floor above he had dropped a melted tub of Ben'n'Jerry's CHOCOLATE ice-cream, onto a CREAM stair carpet. The tub fell then bounced, managing not only to hit every single step, but the walls, the hallway and the front door.
Despite my best efforts in cleaning it still looks as though somebody has ran up and down my stairs with no pants on and a chronic case of diarrhoea....................... : (

[lady-janine]

professional carpet cleaners and fast. poor you. you just do not need this.x

[DTCwordfan]

yep, professional cleaners and I too would be going aaaaaaaagggghh.

[Smowball]

Talk about never rains but it pours. The scene was like something out of a comedy sketch - chocolate ice-cream was literally dripping down the walls.

[ummmm]

Or you could hire Rug Doctor from B&Q or Morrison's. That's a job for you son this weekend.

[EvianBaby]

I'm with Ummmm. Get a Rug Doctor and make him do the leg work.

[Smowball]

have a look on wowcher
There is a voucher for carpet cleaning on there this week
A whole 3 bed house works out at £20 I think - worth it what ever you have done :)

[Booldawg]

oh no Smow, nightmare! I once did that with an unopened can of beer and it punctured on the way down the stairs fizzing everywhere.

[Old_Geezer]

Perhaps he dropped the ice cream to hide the embarrassment that he'd previously ran up and down the stairs with no pants on and a chronic case of diarrhoea ?

Not too long ago, I was having a clear out of my bedroom before moving out of my Dads. As I walked back into the room I saw the cream carpet was covered in big red splodges of blood. I spent ten minutes checking myself all over to work out where I was bleeding from until it occurred to me that the whole time I was holding a carton of Ribena upside down. Moron.

Saying that, a quick squirt of some Rug Doctor spray brought it out, I couldn't even see where I'd sprayed it.

(I don't work for Rug Doctor).

Professional carpet cleaners if you want to have a good job done. Shame accidents do happen.

....CREAM stair carpet? Are you mad, woman?

[friedgreentomato]

Why would you let him eat upstairs - bedrooms are not for food - disgusting habit!

I feel your pain.

I rented out my old house to Mr P's cousin. He spilt a 2 litre bottle of Irn Bru on the cream carpet in the living room. He tried to scrub it with a scrubbing brush. End result - I was left with a carpet with a large orange bald spot in the middle of it. I could have killed him, if he'd called me right away I would have arranged for it to be professionally cleaned. I'm sure it would have worked out cheaper than the replacement carpet I ended up getting.

[ummmm]

Really Helen? Why is it disgusting?

[tinkerbell23]

I eat in my room occasionally!

We also have a cream stair carpet smow lol...bad move!! Xxx
