WARNING: GRAPHIC GROSSNESS TO FOLLOW
Luckily, Mom had a couple of these new Bissell Stomp 'N Go pads handy.
She wiped up most of each barfisode, then put down a pad on each spot, pressing down on the plastic backing that kept her foot from getting wet. The directions say to leave on the spot for at least 30 minutes (and up to 24 hours), so after half an hour Mom checked, but the stains were still there. She put the pads back down and left them on for a total of an hour and a half. She picked them back up again, threw the pads in the trash, and waited for the spots to dry.
After the carpet dried, Dad vacuumed the hallway (Mom and I hid in the office with the door closed, neither one of us like the sound of the vacuum). Here are the final results:
The first stain, the bigger of the two, is completely gone! Mom isn't even sure if this is the exact spot where I puked because it came out so well!
The second, smaller stain is still a little visible, kind of a darker spot on the carpet. (By the way, Mom wants to point out that the big dark area on the left of the picture is just a shadow.) Mom thinks if she had left the pad down longer on this stain, it would have come out as well as the larger stain.
Final verdict: Pretty good product! Mom likes the convenience of the pads. They are individually wrapped and there's no elbow grease involved. Just throw them on the spot, plastic backing up, and press down with your foot. Walk away for a while, then throw the pad away.
We received two Stomp 'N Go pads free from Bissell. This in no way influenced our review of the product. The opinions stated in this review are our honest thoughts on the product. In fact, Mom is going to buy a box to have on hand for my next barfisode!
Hmm, sure came out looking good. M said she'd give it a try too. She likes the fact that it's so easy and not much fuss to do it.
ReplyDeleteWhere were these before Mom went out and bought the foamy monster (which is also by Bissell! I think I'd like these much better. The foamy monster is very noisy and spits water and foam out it's nose. Yuck! Pads would be nice and quiet.
ReplyDeleteTW hopes she never has to use the sample she got at Blogpaws. MOL
ReplyDeleteCan these be used for pee or poop messes on the carpet? Just wondering how comparable it would be to Nature's Miracle.
ReplyDelete@Mario-Not much fuss at all! Great for Mom cuz she's lazy. Hee hee!
ReplyDelete@Pumpkin-These are nice and quiet! Plus, there's nothing to clean or put away when you're done!
@CK-Mom was starting to think she would never get to use these. Then they went and had the carpet cleaned, so that was my cue!
@T&B-Mom says she would try them on those kind of messes. She always has Nature's Miracle on hand too!
