OK, my pet pooped on the carpet, didn't notice it for awhile. It dried, I picked it up, vacuumed the carpet as well as I could, sprinkled a little (not too much) baking soda into the carpet and rubbed in it. Then I put diluted vinegar (half and half with water) in a container and soaked a paper towel, wrung it out and scrubbed the carpet with it. I didn't use a whole lot of vinegar, about half a cup solution (which would be 1/4 cup of water, 1/4 of water) for an area the size of a large cutting board.I plan on leaving it overnight and in the morning scrubbing it out with a bit of water - will the vinegar harm the carpet in the meantime or am I OK? Nothing was put sopping on the carpet - the paper towel was just damp.
Chopped green pepper [sautee with chopped onions] Garlic cloves chopped up sauteed with onions peppers Cumin [maximum serious spice for chili as properly the chili powder] Adobo seasoning [the genuine Mexican all-purpose spice] Can of diced green chilis [Ortega makes a good one] My technique is composed of cooking/sauteeing all of the greens and spices mutually, then frying out the beef one after the different and then combining meat and veggie mixtures and simmering a jointly as till now including the beans...once you're cooking the beans from scratch your self [fairly than dishonest like me and commencing up cans!] then you definately'll ought to prepare dinner the beans one after the different too. it truly is an All Day experience if executed the previous college way, yet properly worth it - and continually make a humongous batch and take something of the week off! p.s. do no longer forget approximately the cumin - this is the genuine tang in good chili!
Allowing the poop to dry is the correct thing to do. If you seriously try and clean damp/moist poop from the carpet, there is a chance you will rub it in, making the removal of it more difficult. White vinegar is a mild acid and will not harm the carpet, many people will use it to blot out coffee stains from the carpet. Baking soda will not harm the carpet either, it will however, be a little hard to vacuum back out with out a beater bar on the vacuum. You did ok, if you ever have serious diarrhea on the carpet from the pet, leave it alone and leave the home, do not rub it in, and call a pro.
I wouldn't leave it overnight. It should be fine with the treatment you already gave it.
