    Leave it for a while as DS will soon mess it up again for you! Or could you get someone else (OH for example) to give it a quick clean with the machine ?
    Good luck with baby.
    My DS was due 3rd June but came on the 18th!

    bicarbonate of soda sprinkled on the carpet then hoovered up after a few hours is meant to be good?

    when we do my friends carpet we make up some spray bottles with some cheap oxy clean powder mixed with luke warm water spray the carpet and then give it good hoover when it is dried this seems to lift the dirt and smells.

    the stuff seems to fizz up on the carpet but dries quickly into powder again lifting the marks with it
