She is a brave woman....we have a small carpet in each room...my daughter (2yrs) is starting to climb out of the crib, so I want the carpet where her head would make contact with the floor...my wife thinks it's fine where it is.Wife declared we would be putting carpet in the kids future bedrooms of the new house against my judgement. So far I've watched my wife with towel/cleaner trying to get the baby puke out of that carpet a dozen or so times now. No "I told you so's" needed on my part but I'm thinking you're right about the wet-vac being a good investment.
Both carpets have been puked on, pooped on, and bled on...look almost brand new following the wet vacuum cleaning.
