TWO HOURS!!?

Tweet

Today I decided it was time to shampoo my carpet. I bought a shampooer a few years back and have only used it a few times. What has happened in the past when I decided I would shampoo the carpet is I’d get the vacuum out and vacuum. Then the plan was to shampoo. However, most of the time I would decide I just spent a lot of time vacuuming so I would wait to shampoo it. We all know what happens then. The carpet becomes too dirty and needs to be vacuumed again before shampooing. Then it goes around and around. This time I decided I would vacuum one room and shampoo it before vacuuming the next room. That all worked well and I found myself in the kitchen with the carpet all shampooed. Then I read the directions to double check to see if thirty minutes was all I had to wait before the carpet was dry. I was positive that was all the longer I waited in the past. But the directions said wait two hours. Two hours!? Here I was stuck in the kitchen for two hours. I hate to admit this, but I got up with the wild hair that I would vacuum and shampoo right away before I even got dressed. So here I was sitting in the kitchen in my bathrobe. I couldn’t even go outside. I did tell myself one thing. If I had to go to the bathroom a wet carpet was not going to stop me. But I didn’t have to. It did answer one question. That is why my carpet never really looked as clean as I thought it should look after shampooing it. I’m positive I had only been waiting thirty minutes after shampooing before I went tromping all over it. Oh, yes, I should mention I never wear my shoes on the carpet. I take them off and put slippers on before walking on my carpet.
