Keeping a jaundiced eye on the corporate media.

Just got off the phone with Proctor and Gamble’s no-help department. They told me I could rent a steam machine and use defoamer on the spill - or I could spray Fabreze on it.
“Fabreze?” I said. “How will that help? That’s just adding another layer of perfume.”
“I’m sorry, ma’am, that’s all we have in our reference book.”
You are a Working Class Warrior, also known as a blue-collar Democrat. You believe that the little guy is getting screwed by conservative greed-mongers and corporate criminals, and you’re not going to take it anymore.

“It’s adding a layer of Procter & Gamble perfume, ma’am, and our CEO made $27 million last fiscal year. That’s in our reference book.”
I mean, gawferbid the reference book should contain anything actually helpful to you.

Try using one of those shamwow absorbent towels on it? The infomercial swears it will soak up any liquid from a carpet.
try natures miracle from the pet store, vinegar, or baking soda
Invest in purchasing a dehumidifier and place it in the room. Lift up the carpet, if possible and expose the affected padding. Liberally apply baking soda over the padding and allow it to dry in place on its own. Between the dehumidifier and the baking soda (which is neutral, and will absorb the odors while it extracts moisture from the padding, you should be able to get total relief. Once the padding is thoroughly dry, you can vacuum the padding and baking soda.
Then, if you choose to wash the carpet, do so with plain water only. That will extract any remaining detergent in the carpet.
Consumer Reports has a book called “How to Clean Practically Anything.” Perhaps your local library has a copy. These new detergents are super-concentrated anymore I dunno….
I would start by lifting up the carpet and covering the area liberally with some cheap scoopable cat litter, and let that soak up the liquid. (Let it have about 15-30 minutes to work). Sweep up the litter and throw it out. Follow it up with the Baking Soda, doing the same thing (15-30 minutes of time then sweep of vaccum up the powder and dispose).
I have an organic carpet cleaning service coming in today to give me an estimate. I spent a few hours this afternoon pulling up the wall-to-wall and replacing the soaked padding, which I believe was the crux of the problem.
Febreeze is not actually another perfume. It is a ring of glucose molecules like a doughnut, and it binds the offending molecules in the hole. It might work well for you. You do like doughnuts, right? Best wishes.
That’s interesting to know. Thanks.
