Your house sounds just what we will be looking for, especially as we have a dog. Which agency did you use? Did you ask get Lampard after you moved in? And was the property a NO PETS one when advertised? Questions, questions, questions!!!!

I lived in a rented high rise in Sydney and almost every apartment had white carpets. I opted for an apartment with a wooden floor. My friends in their lovely, soft, cumfy carpeted apartment lost their bond :scared:
bloody hell! I didn't think of that..thanks for the warning - just let them try

If Preen does not work try ORANGE POWER CARPET SPOT CLEANER I found this very good for the ancient carpets we inherited in the house we bought - with all the same problems you renters have.
