Oh deary dear oh dear!
My friend has gone on holiday for 2 weeks. I have been taking care of things in her home, and looking after her cats. She has not long had an off white carpet fitted. So here's the story;
She asked me if i could just do a liitle house work for her, since she was running late before going to the airport. So i agreed. There was rather alot to do, her kids had left alot of crisps and crumbs all over her lovely new carpet, and alot of their toys scattered around, plus a sink load of washing up. Now, she is the type of person who cannot come home to any mess at all. She asked me to do her a real big favour, i agrred and she trusts that i will stick to it.
So, i started with clearing up the kids bedroom. I then worked my way round, until i got to the lounge. Yes, the lounge with the lovely off white carpet! Being the clumsy idiot i am, as i was hooving i tripped over the cord. Things started to get worse and worse....
As i tripped over the cord of the hoover, i fell into her table, knocking over her beautiful crystal ornaments. Plus a cup of black current juice! There is black current juice all over her brand new carpet, plus her ornaments are broken. They are limited edition(well were limited edition), and i dont know what i am going to do! I took quite a nasty fall, and not only banging into the table, i then fell onto the floor and crashed into her shelving unit, knocking it, and all its contents on the floor.
The room looks a complete and utter mess! oh dear, i dont know what i am going to tell her. I have broken her ornaments, spilt black current on her new carpet, and knocked her sterio, cd's and loads more on the floor.
Im panicking so badly. I have just not had the time to clean it all up. I have tried to soak up the juice as best as possible, since that is my main concern. But it is just not coming up. I have tried everything in her kitchen. But it seems to have done absolutely nothing.
I really don't know what to do. The juice isnt coming out, plus i have broken some of her most favourite ornaments, which were limited edition and very important to her. The sterio is all scratched up too. Im trying to concentrate on the carpet, she waited a long time to have it fitted, it cost her alot of money and she has finally finished all of her home improvements. She trusted me to keep the house nice and tidy. I dont know what i am going to tell her when she gets back, and even if i can get the juice out of the carpet. If i do manage to get it out, i still have to break the news to her that i have broken her precious crystal ornaments. Oh, what have i done!?
Has anyone got any useful tips to get the stain out of her carpet? And how to break the news to her about everything?
