As do I.

Why make floorbread when you can make floorcaek?

floorbeer?

Original post by spraff Trouble is the carpet can't get wet because it'll take weeks to dry properly and it's likely to develop mould in the meantime.

Why, is there something wrong with your house that prevents the carpet from drying properly? A steam cleaning would likely kill the yeast (heat kills yeast) and *should* dry in less than a day under normal conditions. Also, mold won't form unless there are mold spores present, which a steam cleaning would remove, so new mold spores would have to be introduced.

You could also salt the floor. Salt is highly corrosive to organic materials. It's why it works so well as a preservative, microorganism get destroyed by salt.

shush, geez.

floor vegemite is a bit less messy than floor beer or bread

If pouring salt on the floor doesn't do it, you might try water. I know you don't want the carpet to stay wet and get mildewy, so what you do is, after you pour water on and let it sit for a little while, you sprinkle on some all-purpose flour. That'll soak up the water, salt, and yeast.

Then turn the heat up on this hot summer day. You might need to leave the house a while.

You will need to bake the carpet.

I suggest replacing salt with cinnamon in step 1. Cinnamon also kills microbes but unlike salt when you turn the heat up to bake the bre er carpet dry it will have a fresh cinnamony smell.

I also suggest milk instead of water. Carpet molds are allergic to milk.

If you make an egg wash from a beaten egg and a tablespoon of water, and brush it on top first, it'll... uh.... help clean.

Alternately, garlic has natural fungicidal properties. Take a clove, strip off the dry outer layer and apply to the affected area. Unfortunately, it does take extended contact to be effective, so you cann't just rub it over the area. If you lack sufficient garlic to apply directly to the affected carpet area, you can use fresh grated garlic mixed with a binding agent. Butter binds well and helps counteract the garlic scent.

SiCrane neglected to mention that this is very, very dangerous if you're a vampire.
