Carpet Cleaning Crisis

I just got off the phone with a friend of mine. She has two little kids and one big dog, so I'm always hearing stories about their wacky (and messy) hijinks. Today's story involved a momentarily distracted mom, a full glass of grape juice, and a beige carpet. Oops.

Now, this isn't exactly the first time that my friend's carpets have gotten stained. But a giant purple splotch in the middle of the living room can definitely be filed under 'last straw'. So, suddenly finding the best carpet cleaning in Austin went way up the priority list. This took some doing because she moved last year - in her old neighborhood she was practically on a first name basis with everyone who worked at the local carpet cleaning place, but she hasn't really hit the Austin carpet cleaning scene yet.

Anyway, she told me that she found a really good company to come and clean all of her carpets and get some carpet protector put on. (If they were up to the challenge of her family, they must be really good.) They even offer some "green" cleaning services, which my friend really liked because not only is it better for the environment, but she feels better using fewer potentially toxic chemicals in her home since she does have young kids. They even gave her some professional carpet cleaning tips so that she can handle the next grape juice crisis herself. Can't beat that.
