"I think that's how we could tell that it was truly working. Not only did the color of the carpet change a bit but we could see the dirty water coming up through the clear plastic window in the front and then when I went to empty it the first time, the bin, it was disgusting. It actually kind of makes me sick a bit to think that we had been laying around and crawling around and playing on that floor with our children."
