I know what you're thinking, "Really Shana? A blog post about cleaning the carpets?" You betcha. There was a lot of action during the whole process. Let me tell you about it...
We started out by moving all of the furniture in the rooms to one side:
Then we vacuumed.
...and broke Bill's mom's vacuum. I swear it wasn't my fault- the plastic spinny piece (technical term) spontaneously combusted. She was nice enough to bring us her backup vacuum from Seatots. I continued vacuuming...
Isn't this story awesome?! Don't worry, there's more.
Next, my mom started shampooing the rugs... It was comforting to find that there really wasn't much coming out of the carpets but sand. At least we know our smurfy carpets were clean.
It was going really well until the rug shampooer started gushing soapy water all over the carpet. So we started by checking underneath the shampoo-er...
Then we opened her up...
No blockage there! So we dug a little deeper...
We went where only "Certified Technicians" should go. And what did we find? Nothing that seemed to be causing the leak. So we cleaned him out, put him back together, turned the big guy back on, and... no more leak!
and voila! clean carpets:
(We are aware they look exactly the same, but knowing they're clean makes us feel so much better!)
I'm sure we can all agree that this story rivals some of the classics. Everybody Poops has nothin' on us!

that was a great story! i was lucky that my old trainer had a carpet cleaning business and cleaned ours for free as a housewarming present. when you're ready to replace them smart carpet is by far the cheapest.
They look great! You should definitely turn this into a book ;)
