Sunday fun

So after church on Sunday this couple in our church invited us to their house to eat lunch and play games with other couples in the church. So after our bowling ritual after church we went to their house. They are both school teachers and we have never been to their house before. When we got there we found out that they have lived there for 9 years and they have the same color of carpet we have and it was spotless. And their tile looked great too! Spotless and shiny. So we ate and had fun playing Taboo with the other 2 couples and were there for almost 4 hours and when we left we got home and looked at our house with disgust. So that night we went to Home Depot and bought tile grout cleaner, sealant, grout stainer, bottle with a roller for grout, gloves and some carpet powder. So all night long we stained our grout with bleach and so we were on our hands and knees rolling bleach into the cracks of our tile and it took around 5 hours to get bleached and while that sat we vacuumed with the powder to cover up some of the smell til we can get our carpet professionally cleaned. Then we scrubbed off the bleach and sprayed a tile- grout cleaner on it and then mopped the floor after sweeping. Then once the was dry the next morning I mopped on a sealant. But I walked on it before it was totally dry bc you are supposed to wait around 2 days before walking on it and now our sealant has foot prints on it. :(
Anyway our next project is the carpet and hopefully it will take out that nasty puppy potty smell. We are still trying to find someone that is afordable and can take the smell out too. Then when that is done we will invite them over for some of my cooking (take out) and some match mate (the game my sister got us for Christmas that is so much fun). :)

  1. I cannot believe you guys actually did this! What I CAN believe is the footprints... hehe. Funny girl.

    You should consider go carpet-less. How about all tile or wood floors? A lot easier to clean when it comes to Bebe. :o)
