have a very very good relationship with my current LL and am sad to go, but she’s got to sell the house. This is a gray area for me as I’ve never lived in a place that was going to be sold after I moved out, and I’m her first rental experience. I was hoping for some direction in terms of what the deposit goes toward.

The house is in generally good shape with some normal wear and tear (caulking in the shower, etc). The carpet is the biggest concern I have. When I moved in, it was mismatched. Generally good shape with a few stains here and there throughout the house, with one room being completely different carpet from the rest of the house and having some holes from burns or something. It may be a leap on my part to assume they’d need to replace the carpet prior to selling anyway but I never asked.

I kept the carpet in good shape until last month when ChattyLab barfed on SO’s watch. SO, meaning well, tried to clean it but instead of grabbing the carpet cleaner, he sprayed it down with Clorox clean up… I couldn’t get mad because he meant well but he didn’t look at the label at all. It resulted in 3 bleach spots in the living room, which the LL noticed during her walk thru a couple weeks ago. In a phone conversation she told me we’d have to discuss how I’d help with that since the carpet was destroyed.

She and I have an appt to go over the property post move out and discuss how the deposit will be applied. The biggest thing I can think of are these bleach spots on the carpet. What’s a fair amount for me to pay? Like I said, they likely would have had to replace it anyway but it doesn’t negate the damage my family did.

It’s a 4 bedroom house. The 3 spots are about 4" x 5-8" each.

Additionally, they told me they expected to do some remodeling and the house would get dirty. They told me they preferred I just move my stuff out and not do the super duper scrub down (again, house isn’t filthy but does need a mopping, scrubbing of shower/tub, normal stuff). They said they were going to have it professionally cleaned prior to showing and would hire a professional service and we could split the cost from my deposit.

I have NO idea how much this costs, and given that the house really isn’t grimy, aren’t sure which direction to go with this. I tend to think that the professional cleaning post remodeling would be their responsibility. I don’t want to make waves but I did plan on using the remainder of the deposit (originally 00) towards a new W/D and a deposit for my wedding dress.

Okay, so my aunt was staying in our spare room until she could get a place of her own. Her cat decided to use the carpet underneath the bed as puke central. On top of it there are poop stains all over that my aunt never cleaned up. It’s really bad. The cat is old so half her poop is straight up liquid. We have a steam carpet cleaner, but some of this stuff is baaad and it’s not an industrial cleaner. What is the best product to buy to spray on first and help lift the stains out before we use the steam cleaner?

Last night I spilled a cup of red fruit punch, immediately blotted the spill, I could not wet vac the carpet at the time because there are two babies in my household and our wet vac is VERY loud. I did however vacuum the area this morning and went over the spot with a mixture of; Simple Green, Carpet Cleaner and water. My carpet is a basic cream/oatmeal color so the stain looks horrible, it did lighten after the first and second scrubbing today, and even though I scrubbed twice and the color got a teeny bit lighter, It is still very prominent, and a major eye sore. Not sure what else to do, has anyone else found a solution for red/colored spills? And what is the best way to clean up a dog accident and keep them from doing it again (I have puppy mill rescue who gets very nervous, and yes I know that there are "pet diapers" for pets, but that is not an option. All help is appreciated!!!!

Unfortunately i have brand new white/cream colored carpet . I spilled half of a can of Diet Dr. Pepper Cherry which, due to my numerous attempts to remove, is now the size of a dinner plate. I do have resolve, and it has worked great up until this impossible stain. Immediately after the spill i soaked up as much as possible, then followed the resolve directions exactly. No difference. Tried a second application, still no luck. After rummaging through my house i came across Oxy Clean. Followed those directions to a T and- you guessed it- still no luck. PLEASE HELP

options i have considered so far:
-Solvent cleaner
-Renting a steam/commercial carpet cleaning machine
-Trial and error with every type of carpet cleaner i can find
-Hiring a professional

Thank you all in advance!

My son spit up a bunch of formula all over my olive green twill couch. I used Woolite Oxy Deep (carpet cleaner that is usually AMAZING) on it and now the area I spray is significantly lighter than the rest. When I was rubbing the stain, no green dye came off on my rag, so I don’t think the color is actually out of the furniture, but it looks hideous. Any suggestions?

have a Bissell Pro Heat deep cleaning carpet cleaner. I also have pets, which means even after running a sweeper, there’s still a certain amount of dog hair in the carpet.

I was steam cleaning the carpet, and a clump of wet dog hair got sucked into the Pro Heat, and the motor sound got "muffled". I took off the clear window on the front and cleaned it, but could not find the glob of dog hair that is slowing it down.

Is there a way to clear the hose or whatever part that the dog hair clump is stuck?

Thanks in advance for any and all help.
