Lola said: “Cleaning up dog poo or vomit off the carpet.  Pour it on and wait a few minutes.  The baking powder will pull the liquid out of the rug, deodorize and form a “dry patty” of the foul matter.  I use a paper plate cut in half as a straight edge and lift the patty off the rug without smearing.  Then sprinkle spot with more baking soda, to pull up any liquids or solids.  Wait again, then scrape up baking soda with straight edge, vacuum, THEN pull out the liquid rug cleaner. Perfect.”
