...the summertime blues that is. The guests who don't care about how they abuse the property. We have just spent an hour and a half trying to clean mascara out of a carpet. And off the side tables. And off the tile. And the hardwood floor. Amazingly, there wasn't a smidge on the pillows or towels. But, it was quite clear that they laid the mascara wand down on the side table and dropped it on the carpet several times and then walked thru it. It was on the tile, the carpet and the wood floor.
It partially cleaned up with alcohol. Then we cleaned the whole carpet. Then we were back on hands and knees with the rubbing alcohol again trying to spot clean. (Now I need the fermented stuff!)
This one is getting a cleaning bill. It was completely unnecessary to track the mascara all over the room. Big clumps of it.
There's a whole other raft of issues with this one that required both beds be completely stripped and everything washed. And one of the comfy chairs also needed a thorough going over.
