Oh Tres. Tres, Tres, Tres. You really do need a carpet washing machine. I have a Bissel with a heater and it has been hard at work for 5 years...I'd estimate an average of used once a week. It works and does maintain the carpet, but ideally I want to change it to laminate (shut it all you hardwood snobs, laminate is just way better for dogs than real wood).

I've used Nature Miracle over the years, and I recently found Sargeant's enzyme odor solution much more effective. Still, I doubt any carpet accidents will escape a beagle's nose.

A few days ago my boy had explosive diarrhea in three areas (AREAS, not just spots) around the house on carpet. I share your pain. I have a few light stains left to work on.

I sometimes consider changing to battleship tile flooring, so cheap and durable. And cuz it's a battle to keep up with my sweet poopers. *sigh*
