Have fun with E & T & D and I can't wait to hear about BlogHer.

Yes, I ...Oh my word sister, I am feeling your pain. Yes, I would have and have done what you did. (Would it be so bad just to blot and leave it?) We have jute rugs in every sodding room and the 'new' dog has peed and/or puked on each and every blessed one, so help me. The day he got trapped in the guest room and POLLUTED that rug so very thoroughly, well, I just had to chuck it. A little pee can't be that bad, surely.<br />BTW, I have found that a) water and water alone can bleach the colour of the rug and b) an old tea bag can be used to restore the natural colour (this possibly doesn't apply if there is a stripe), and c) puckering has never been more than a temporary problem. Your mileage may vary.<br />Good luck!puncturedbicyclehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05212233036487597597noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6328138894440374230.post-55135837200047059802010-07-29T20:12:02.785-04:002010-07-29T20:12:02.785-04:00This happened to us, and the good news is that the...This happened to us, and the good news is that the warping might not be permanent, exactly. Just very long-lived. Our rug finally settled back into near-total flatness.<br /><br />Careful with that enzymatic stuff, though.
