That joke hurt

Let's be honest, we don't know how big the carpet is and op's not getting paid to do that. It would be a nice thing to do but I'm sure they have other things that need to be done

i didn't realize it wasn't her carpet :P

I don't see how explaining is a big deal... "Your dog threw up on the carpet, but don't worry, I cleaned it up for you." Done. As someone already said, if their carpet is that dirty that's their problem, not OP's. They may or may not be embarrassed but they're not going to get mad at OP for cleaning up their dog's puke properly and effectively; that's a good thing.

doubt op wants to clean their whole carpet

well. vinegar cleans, disinfects,removes odors, all while not affecting the colors or fabrics. baking soda helps to remove stains by using the cleaning power of oxygen, and also removes the smell of vinegar. that's the best homemade solution to pet problems. next best is an enzyme cleaner

So if soap and water works best, wouldn't that make the problem worse? It would look even more clean in comparison to the rest of the carpet.

The mixture didn't bleach the carpet, it cleaned it like planned, just turns out the rest of the carpet was still dirty

#7 you obviously don't understand it. The mixture OP used worked fine. So fine that you can now tell how dirty the carpet was in the first place.

I unfortunately used bleach to clean a spot on the carpet once, like a dumbass.

Yeah the only FML part I see here is having to clean dog spew
