Well, I needed a shot of salad dressing spilled on carpet so I searched our fridge for what I thought was old stuff that no one would miss. Stupidly I chose my wife's newly purchased salad dressing that she got at Trader Joe's the previous day. Big mistake! I could have sworn it had been in the fridge for several months.
Besides wasting my wife's favorite salad dressing, I'm running out of carpet to spill stuff on. All of the pictures on this site are of genuine spills on real carpet in actual rooms of our house. If you've noticed how many pictures this site has, you'll see that I have many many different colors and types of carpet in my house. Actually it's a mansion. A mansion with 42 different rooms overlooking the beach...
Ok ok, I used carpet samples for the pictures. Don't tell anyone.
