I'm not sure where this topic would be best suited, but I'll post it here.
I plan on renting a carpet shampooer soon, but then I got to wondering about how safe it would be for the dogs (and my rabbit too for that matter) to be on the carpet if it isn't totally dry? I wonder if the chemicals could make them sick, or worse? I do plan on letting the carpet dry out before we tromp all over it again, but you know how that goes.....it always seems as if there are some damp areas. And I live in a rather small apartment, so we don't have anywhere else to go but the kitchen. While the carpet is drying I can take the dogs out for a car ride and a walk, and I can move my rabbit and his cage into the bedroom or the bathroom, away from the freshly cleaned carpet and any smells from chemicals. Of course I will open the windows too. I wonder if there is a pet-friendly carpet cleaner out there?
Anyway, it was just something that crossed my mind today, and got me wondering.
