Don't be embarrassed, we all have accidents.

luckily for me i have those wooden floors which spills and mud are easy to get rid of.now my daughter and her nail polish,that another story,she spills it and instead of cleaning it up straight away,she justs moves the coffee table over it so i will not see until i move it back,now that hard to remove when it is dried.cheers sue

My hardwoods in my kitchen. Ugh! First of all, I have 3 cats and a big 120 lb black lab dog and, they have torn my hardwood floors in my kitchen up with their nails from raising around and being your general happy-go-lucky pets. Then, to top it off, my dog drools a lot. A LOT! So, I have pretty much given up on mopping the dang floor all that often. Forget it! Not 3 minutes after the floors have dried and they are all pretty and clean, it gets messy again as soon as the animals walk back through it. Who needs, or wants, to spend a half hour to 45 minutes...if not more...moping the dang floor only to have it all messed up again in a matter of minutes...literally, MINUTES! I am not exaggerating. So, my floor is pretty gross and, I care and am embarrassed by it but, if someone wants to complain about it, feel free to come clean my kitchen every day, every other day, or even once a week for me. LOL!

Nope, nothing really embarrasses me in my house, well, except certain smells that come from my partner and our son. I'm not sure how good this will work, but, try mixing half a pint of water with vinegar and bicarbonate of soda, sorry, can't remember how much of each to use, scrub the floor with it straight away and it should, in theory work. *the smallprint....if this fails to work and burns a big hole in your carpet I hold no liability. ;)

At the moment, with a toddler let loose in the house...I am embarassed by EVERYTHING! I can't keep everything as neat and in place as I used to. It took me a year to realize that it was the same when I had my older child...who was by the way much better at putting things back. I now find stains that I have no clue about....and am so lucky that I discouraged my husband from renovating when our son was a few months old. But I still feel that there's not enough storage areas (we have lots of space). So, I'm just going to wait it out for him to put in all the stains he can....and then just change everything at one shot. Till then...I'll just continue being embarassed by all the things OTHER people find in my home!

We have carpeting that I swear dust stains it. Hubby is great for dribbling coffee everywhere and so there are all kinds of little spots everywhere. We also had one time that our washer leaked and even though I got all the water up there is still a spot where it was. I haven't tried carpet cleaning it yet but plan to. Thankfully the carpeting was already somewhat worn when we moved in so it's marked on our lease. **AT PEACE WITHIN** ~~STAND STRONG IN YOUR BELIEFS~~

Lemme just put it this way, p1ke. When I get that webcam, I'm going to have to do a lot of cleaning up before I get it up and running. My house is a mess and always is. I'm no kind of housekeeper. And my cats scratch the holy f*ck out of whatever chair I claim as my own, so I would be embarassed about all the stuffing falling out of both of "my chairs". I have one in the living room, and one in my dressing room. The one in the dressing room is newer, so it's still pretty much intact, but the one in the living room is pitiful. And I need to do my dishes. They are embarassing too. And there's lots of laundry to be done. The vacuum is crying out for use. I've forgotten how to dust. I would not, however be embarrassed by my litter box or my bathroom. Both are kept clean. Well, the floor in the bathroom has kitty litter on it, but geez, three cats use it, it's gonna happen.

Hum, let me start with my living room. I have wrinkles in my carpet and it's not even 3 years old yet. My couch is older than my kids, but want to get out of debt before buying a new one. The kitchen/dining area has that cheap flooring, so we have the rips, rust stains. I'm used to the stains on the carpet, especially the juice stains. All the closet doors in my bathroom has holes forming from the door stoppers. That's about it that I can think at the moment.

rotflmao Pike, yes there is something in my house that is driving me crazy, my kitchen floor. I have linoleum down, and I used mop and glow on it for about 8 months when we first bought our house 2 years ago. It began to yellow... OMG straight ammonia, and or bleach will not get it back to its cream off white color. This spring sometime, we plan of replacing it with hard wood. Probably when we get that tax stimulas rebate. I just can not stand it any longer, it looks like I never mop my floor. You gave me quite a giggle over your cow patty I can so relate.

Umm where do I start? My hubby and son hides the stains when I'm not around and only when I shift furniture and lift up mats, I find them. That's really annoying because by then the stain is dried up and hard to get out. There is one big red one in the middle of our lounge area which is covered up by a big brown fluffy rug and I don't know how it got there. I'm sure the landlord is going to keep our bond not only over this but a few other marks, dents, scratches, drawings, spills all over the house LOL It's hard to have a spotless home when there are children living in it, especially boys LOL.

The only thing that embarrasses me in my house is that I am a self proclaimed pack rat. Now mind you, I feel that I need all of the stuff that I have accumulated. But, it is very hard to keep it all organized, all the time. I can not decide if I need to get rid of some of the junk or get a bigger place, only to fit more in.

My house and everything in it is all brand new and not the least embarrassing according to public opinion - and boy does the public like to walk in and make themselves at home! LOL So I would have to say the most embarrassed thing in it is me. Especially when the public walks in unannounced and I'm still in my heels and lipstick and nothing else! That embarrasses the ladies of course, who giggle and go to the kitchen for coffee, but it rather leaves the men speechless and rooted to the spot. I swear they do this to me on a weekly basis just to take a break from their bridge games! I've become another town habit! LOL

My whole house is an embarrasment. It is an old mobile home. I guess something that bothers me is a couple of my walls being ate by a rabbit. LOL We had a pet rabbit that went to it's cage and pottied and he was a house baby. But he ate walls. My floors are embarrising too. I have steam cleaned a lot. But there is always new stains with two toddlers!!! Oxy clean works pretty good but don't mix with bleach in asteam cleaner or it will explode.LOL At one time the whole house was linoleum and I loved it but the dog tore it up by the front door and someone had given us enough new carpet to replace it. I did not want it but it got put down anyways and I would just rather have all linoleum or hardwood floors. My bathroom use to be my biggest embaressment. The tub was not level and there were a few holes in the walls of the shower. And the flooring was horrible. Also the window in the shower was falling apart so duct tape held it together. But we finally redid the bathroom and it is one of the best rooms we have.

In my mums old house, my stepdad (who does flooring for a living) put a dado rail in the living room but before he did this he put new skirting round the room. He measured out how high the dado rail should be, put it up. When we came to admire his work, we closed the living room door to see it all only to find he didnt do the skirting behind the door so that part off the dado rail was shorter than the rest of the room!!! Luckily noone noticed (unless we pointed it out!) as we kept the door open! It just makes the house unique!!!

I'm lucky like you. It's my carpet, too. But I know what has happened on mine. I have seven cats that over the years they have, ugh, vomited. Now, I cleaned it up every time. But the cat food companies must put artificial colors into their food. I have pink small splotches around the house on the carpet. Nothing I've tried gets the pink out. If you get a solution other than replacing your carpet, let me know.

I have cobwebs in some corners!! I can never seem to find them all when i have the vacuume out! lol. This isn't my house though.. i'm just renting. . I am looking forward to someday owning my own home ;)

Yes, our couches are absolutely awful. In fact, the stuffing is coming out of them. I want to get them replaced, but can't afford a new set right now and even if I got one second hand, wouldn't have the transportation to bring them home.

My main bathroom is in a state of practical disrepair, thanks to our former beagle pup (she now lives with my sister). Did you know that beagles were not bred to be housedogs? I certainly didn't. Snoopy never crapped the rug! We got her when she was 6 weeks old, and had her for about 8 months. During that time, we came to the realization that she could not sleep in the main part of the house at night without chewing, peeing, crapping, or otherwise blight the entire house. I decided that I would much prefer to clean up a monstrous mess out of one room every day, rather than out of the whole house each morning before coffee. So she stayed in the bathroom at night. Now, even though she hasn't lived here in 2 months, that bathroom reeks of dog urine. In addition to the smell, the paint is scratched off the door and walls, the linoleum is torn up in a couple of spots, and the ground-in grime is hellish. I can get down on hands and knees to clean in there, and I'm still mortified to have people over, for fear they may need to go pee. The bathroom is clean, bleach-clean in fact, but I'm no less embarrassed about the looks of it. Our Labrador pup only pees in the laundry room, and only if you don't let him out when he's sat by the door for 20 minutes. (The beagle bit my son twice, and the second time she went to live with my sister. Had nothing to do with her "accidents".)

Luck you at least you have carpet, I moved into my house two years ago now and still have the old lounge carpet acting as a very large rug in the lounge, this is due to the fact that my new lounge is a lot larger than my old and alos the stairs run off from it so to carpet I would have to carpet landing, stairs and lounge and the expenditure is too great at the moment. I never have credit and am saving to get a lump sum to do it but every time I get almost enough and go to order an emergency occurs where the money used to be for something else. I get embarrassed when I open the front door as the first thing anyone sees is the uncarpeted stairway, even when lounge clena and tidy looks shabby due to lack of proper carpeting. Ellie :D

pikefish you have your cow patty stain and I have five piles of boxes piled atop each other crowded into my living room because my dear son could not bear to throw anything out lol at least they are clean but why are they even there? He has not used anything from any of them so why? It drives me bananas.

Well with 2 small children you can bet I have a lot in my house I am embarrassed of.I have more stains in my carpet that anyone shoudl be allowed to have.My couch is lumpy and I need a new everything.I try to hid the flaws and make the best out of what I got.I don't even plan on buying new carpet or couches until my children get a little less messy...(sending you a MOO)
