Spot-on transformation

Carpet. Love it? Hate it? Either way, our planet is stuck with it.

So is our loungeroom. And my car.

A few grubby spots on a light-coloured carpet can make quite a difference. Our loungeroom carpet has been getting pretty feral over the last seven months, largely thanks to a two-year-old who insists on using the floor as a play gym, dining room and change mat. (Okay, we've pulled the pin on some of these activities recently.)

There were a number of black-grey spots in the carpet, and the general effect on the whole room was incredible. Made it feel pretty gross.

As mentioned in a previous post, my boss just upgraded my car. The person who had it before me had a dog in there. A lot. Plenty of dirt, hair, and doggy stink.

So two lots of carpet looking not so nice - despite the car being cleaned and detailed. Wandering through Big W the other night and looking for a solution, I stumbled across this stuff. (I also bought several lots of deodoriser for the car - seems to be working.)

This morning I gave it a go on some of the car upholstery. Worked a treat. So we took it inside, and tonight Cara hit the loungeroom carpet with it.

Wow! An awesome result. Not perfect, but so much better. She really sweated over this one, working it into the carpet - and the effort shows. The whole room looks better because the spots are gone. One hour's work has changed the whole feel of the place.

Which just goes to show - sometimes a transformation doesn't have to be big; you just have to pick the right battles.
