Yooo hooo....I'm back.

I was chucking basinfuls of water over the gel and sooking it up quick with the Vax and it wasn't helping so......

......I tried vinegar! I threw a whole bottle of neat Sarsons over it. Seemed like a good idea at the time, you lot always rave over vinegar.

I think it helped dull the suds down a bit......but my carpet stinks now.

I've tried throwing disinfectant over the vinegar but it's just a weird smell now. OH is not overly pleased with me. :rotfl:

Radiator is on full blast and windows are open.

I've still got white bits that wouldn't go though....I might go buy some defoamer tomorrow and go over it again.

ark.....maybe in normal usage your Mum didn't need defoamer...but trust me here, I'm talking suds everywhere.

Let the carpet dry (when you finally get rid of the suds), then bicarb on the dry bits to absorbs any odours, or failling that, some of the neutradol powder should do the trick. Best of luck with the bubbles!!

Glad

aren't vinegar and disinfectant 2 main ingrdients of an explosive

Aliasojo,

If that is you then I have no idea in hades what I am.

Beyond clueless, useless might be better for me.

Fingers crossed it all comes and you get back to have a normal carpet.

Well thankfully coming downstairs this morning wasn't too much of a problem, the smell seems to have gone...but I haven't actually put my nose to the carpet to find out for sure. I figure what I don't know wont hurt me :rotfl:.

I think I'll get in some of the neutradol powder ark mentioned just in case.

Funny how some of us are just so capable with housey stuff and others are just ........well....crap!

However I can frame out a door and put on new skirtings.
