Carpet cleaning question

[dawnstimeout]

I am getting my carpet cleaned tomorrow and am not sure if it will hurt my grey. Do you think it would be okay if I put her in a small cage in the bathroom?

You should have them use pet friendly cleaners on the carpet. They usually carry both kinds. I had my carpet cleaned one time with the regular cleaner and my indoor bunny died that night :-( I wouldn't take the risk with your bird. They are much more sensitive to fumes

Yes, I would make sure the company is using a pet friendly detergent and also put your bird in as well ventilated area as possible.

I know a fellow that did carpet cleaning for a living, and he said the best carpet cleaner was vinegar and hot water - no detergent. All his customers were very pleased with the results and no one's animals ever got sick.

thank you all for the info. I really like the vinegar and water idea too. I wonder how well it works as a spot cleaner

Generally I clean my carpet through vinegar cleaner to remove the stain and dirt or baking soda is also a good option for cleaning the carpet.

I guess I'm not a great parent! I use Stanley carpet cleaning service every four months for past ten years. Granted, birdroom is three rooms away, All hardwood floors other than family room that is carpeted.I only worry about fumes with painting, and hardwood floor restoration. Nancy
