Waffles 2.0

Waffle House’s sign lost a light in the perfect way. Had to snap a photo. Introducing… WAFFLES 2.0!!

Cleaning Products Are Bullshit

I have dogs. Dogs make messes. An unfortunate fact of life with dogs. But I love them nonetheless.

I came home from work last week, and one of them had left me a surprise fecal festival on the living room carpet. How thoughtful, just what I always wanted. Anyways, I scooped up the rectal gifts, tossed them into the toilet, and then some stain-removal advice I had recently overheard popped into my head: “Hydrogen Peroxide.”

I quickly weighed my options. All I had was Febreze and Pledge wood cleaner, neither of which would be sufficient to clean skidmarks from my living room carpet. My security deposit was slowly evaporating before my eyes. But then, out of nowhere, I remembered that I had bought a bottle of peroxide several months ago to treat a wound sustained while falling off of my bed (don’t ask).

Frantically, I searched the house for my bottle of carpet-saving goodness. Crap! Where is it?! They say whatever you’re looking for is always in the last place you look. That’s pretty obvious, why would you look for something after you found it? Well, it seemed like I was never going to find it, until I looked in the last place I would think to look, even though now it seems like it should have been the first place I looked: under the bathroom sink. Bingo!

I poured enough onto the stains to cover them, grabbed my trusty plastic-bristle brush, and started scrubbing. After about 2 minutes of scrubbing, the horrible canine poo stains were completely disappeared!  Once the peroxide dried, you couldn’t tell there was ever a stain at all.

So, don’t waste your money on Oxy-Clean, or any crap like that. Just go to the supermarket, grab a bottle of hydrogen peroxide (usually around $1.00 US), and use that… it works better. In fact, I’ve noticed that the powdered Oxy-Clean doesn’t remove anything from the carpet.. it just leaves a light spot where the stain used to be. What a waste :P
