Today, I was at my summer babysitting job. The family's dog puked on the carpet and I proceeded to clean it up with baking soda and a mix of water/vinegar. Instead of blending in with the other areas of the carpet, the one spot I cleaned is white while the other areas are still darkened by filth. FML

Today, while dog sitting, the dog peed on the carpet. There was a bottle of cleaning spray on the counter so I sprayed the spot. Turns out that spray was Clorox Bleach. Now their carpet is bright orange. FML

Today, I spent all day cleaning the carpets in every room. I own two dogs and a cat, so deodorizing and deep cleaning the carpets is an all-day chore. At 9 p.m., after I was done with the last room, I went out to the living room and saw one of my dogs had been sick all over the place. Had to reclean the carpet. FML

Today, I got home from a long day of work and saw a pile of dog puke on the kitchen floor. I went to get paper towels and found a pile of dog shit. With my foot. Both of my kids were home all day and left the piles for me to clean because "that's gross". FML

Today, it was my first day as a vacuum salesman. While I was demonstrating how well it removed stains, I managed to smear stuff over the area I was cleaning. So not only was I unsuccessful in removing the original stains, I left them with worse carpet than when I got there. FML

Today, I used the community vacuum to clean my dorm. When spots started appearing on the floor, I assumed it was leaking water. By the time I finished there were tons of wet spots on the floor. Later I found out that someone had just used that very vacuum to suck up vomit. FML

Today, I found out that I spent 3 whole days cleaning my apartment thoroughly and paid $100 to get my carpet professional cleaned to not get my $950 deposit back because the carpet smells like dog. I don't have a dog. FML

So sweet

Today, I was washing dishes while my 2-year-old was napping… or so I thought. When I finished and went to check on her, I found she'd taken off her diaper and smeared poop all over the carpet. She must have been up a while because it was everywhere. I spent the next hour scrubbing. FML

Today, I remembered my mom got her carpet cleaned and to be careful while she was at work. To be nice, I vacuumed the whole house. Feeling proud of myself, I got a drink and went upstairs. I tripped and spilled red Kool-Aid all over the floor. FML

Today, my dog had an upset stomach and diarrhea. To avoid a mess on the carpet, I confined her to a gated area in the kitchen with sheets over the floor, so any mess could be cleaned up easily. Instead of going on the sheets, she sprayed shit all up the walls. FML

Today, my dog overturned and ate my trash, leaving coffee grounds and dog puke all over my floor. She also ate the broom. FML

I don't see the problem. So you cleaned their carpet for them and they might be embarrassed by how dirty the rest is... Their problem, not yours.

Well OP. just to say something positive, the look on your fave was probably priceless when you saw the super clean spot compared to the rest of the floor, and that is why i like this FML so much, thank you for making me laugh! :)

That is no problem at all. I have kids and dogs (several of both) and a light gray carpeting all over the floor. Every now and then somebody spills a drink, pukes, pees, has diarrhoea, drops chocolate, drops well pigmented make-up, etc, etc. Sorry for TMI but thats life. Just clean the spot with whatever cleaning solution that is able to do the trick and the lighter spot will blend in with the rest within a few days. Its practically impossible to keep all the carpet all the time like it was bleached an hour ago.

I would have looked for carpet cleaner first. I have dogs and I have special spray for when stuff like that happens.

vinegar and baking soda are actually excellent cleaners, I don't know why you need a special cleaner when ops solution was cheap and effective.

It's awesome you cleaned up after the dog. I don't really see the problem. Tell the owners you cleaned up after the dog and the cleaner worked wonders on the carpet. You could offer to clean the rest of the carpet or they can clean them when they get home.

I mean you cleaned up after their pet, which accidents happen like that with animals all of the time anyways. at least they'll know you didn't do a half-assed job cleaning it up!
