no better motivation for a clean house like company!

Last week we were knee deep in croup, thrush, and what seems to be a sinus infection (for me and JB).  The reason for the mostly radio silence since then.  
We also had company in from Switzerland, and thankfully I was able to clean a bit before they got here and before the bug hit us.   One spot I had to get to before they arrived was the special accident Lola had on our jute rug.  There is NO motivation like company coming over to clean up … 
Jute is amazing for kids and dogs- but cleaning it for things like dog mess?  confusing.  While I was hesitant to use the Bissel on the jute, I tested it first on a small spot and it responded surprisingly well. {always test it!!}  I didn’t use the whole vaccuum on it, just spot treated it with one of the attachments.  But voila!  No trace that a Lola had an accident here!  All of the praise hands.

I’m soooo glad I have the carpets cleaned up before company came to stay and now it’s so nice to have done before Thanksgiving.  We are hosting 19 at our house on Thursday, so I have been a real joy to be around  cleaning house.  For some reason clean floors motivate me to keep the rest of the house clean.  I’m sure you’ve heard me talk about this before but I run this little guy every single day and am always amazed by the dust and dirt we track in and all over.  Him and Lola tie for best maids ever.  Now I’m excited to add in the Bissel to help with the rugs, and try it out on our white couches – it works on upholstery too!

**Big thanks to Bissel for sending me your rug/upholstery/puppy smell cleaner upper vacuum and helping me keep the house clean during the Holidays and y’all for reading!!**
