Sharkey had a little accident
UPDATE: In response to the TMZ.com article I would like to bring to light the fact that Sharkey is a cute little GIRL. Also, she is a very HAPPY dog that happens to be good at many different facial expressions!
I just love the way sisal carpeting looks throughout my homes, but just like any carpet, sisal does not fare well with spills, or the occasional pet ‘accident.’ Fortunately, I discovered a remarkable product that does a fantastic job of making those stains disappear. It’s called Host Dry Carpet Cleaner Shaker Pack. This all-natural product is made up of a balanced blend of moisture, detergent, and a bit of safe-to-use solvents. When needed, we just sprinkle the sawdust-like material over the stain and gently brush it in. Host goes to work, dissolving and absorbing the stain and any odor associated with it. After about an hour, you just vacuum it up and voila! – no more stain and no wet carpet! I’ve used Host Cleaner with great success and it’s good for all types of carpets. Plus, I love that it’s environmentally friendly.
Here’s the wonderful Host Dry Carpet Cleaner Dry Pack.
‘I’m so sorry – I didn’t mean to wet the carpet. Fortunately, there’s Host to the rescue.’
‘I’ll just sit here and wait until the vacuum comes and takes the stain away. I’ll feel so much better then.’

It's funny, just this morning while sopping up dog pee from the carpet I said to my husband "I wonder what Martha would do?". So, thank you for un-knowingly answering my question!
LOVE reading your blog. It's my favorite thing on the internet!
Posted by: Miranda | July 20th, 2008 at 11:13 pm
Sharkey, you are a star! You look appropriately apologetic and should be doing infomercials for this product. I'd go buy it right now if I had any carpeting in my house.

. . .great to know about this product, Martha.
Our dear 14-year-old pooch has *never* had an accident, but you never know. . .

Poor baby! I'm certain Sharkey is extremely comforted that her little accident is being taken care of by her very resourceful yet forgiving Mom. Thanks so much for sharing this amazing product. By the way, Sharkey's coat is what they call Fawn in the Frenchie world, right? And I hear that because of your baby Francesca the Brindle Frenchies have surged popularity.
Great posting, as always!

Hi Martha, When I first read the blog title, I was almost afraid to go to this blog. I thought maybe she had been hurt while chasing the squirrels or herding the donkeys. Thank God she only "piddled"! She looks so guilty in the photos. I sure could have used that fantastic product all the years I raised my dogs. I've had 6 dogs in the past 40 years and my latest was the most challenging. When I get another dog as a companion for him, I will definitely get Host Dry Carpet Cleaner Shaker Pack. Thanks for this valuable information and for sharing. I remember hearing you talk about Host on Sirius Radio 112 and am glad you did a blog about it. Jan

Hi, Martha,
Thanks for the tip about Host Dry Carpet Cleaner Shaker Pack. I'm happy to hear it is all natural and environmentally friendly.
Sharkey is such a dear!

Martha I was so relieved when I saw it was that type of accident, I thought Sharkey was hurt. The title of your blog gave me heart failure, don't scare us like that!!!
Poor Sharkey, looks so sad, I'm sure she didn't mean it.
Posted by: ann | July 21st, 2008 at 7:36 am
Thank you for sharing an everyday
bit of life with your blog readers. As absurd as it sounds "One has the perception that celebrity dogs are FREE from nature caused accidents".
Ps -- Jesse and Cleo want to THANK Sharkey for going public with this very PRIVATE issue!

Sharkey, really looks embarassed!!! He really is glad there is a instant remedy for this accident. Thanks for letting us know about Host. My brother will be glad to know about this product since he has Persian rugs. Nan

Ahhhhhh...just look at that face! Such remorse. I hope you weren't too hard on her. I'll have to see if I can get that product here in Canada.

Hi Martha! thanks for this blog--i've tried everything to lift these kinds of stains. where can i find this product?
Posted by: Katherine | July 21st, 2008 at 8:34 am
Hello, Martha....I'll definitely look for this product here in Canada. Poor Sharkey! It's okay. We have dogs and cats and our 15 year-old male cat has a terrible habit of pooping (only poop, thankfully) outside the clean, multiple litter boxes. Very frustrating! Good to know this product is environmentally safe. Thank you, Martha.
Posted by: Judy Corras | July 21st, 2008 at 9:03 am
Sharkey is a sweetie! She looks so apologetic for what she did and I'm thinking she might be thinking, "You're not going to write about that in your blog are you! I'm so embarrassed!" It's okay Sharkey, we still love you and we know your mommy does too!
I wish I knew about Host when my dogs were around. I had one little bad boy who had way too many accidents. Trish
Posted by: Trish | July 21st, 2008 at 10:09 am
I find baking soda works very nicely too. When we camp in our RV, sometimes are little kids have accidents during the night. I just get out the baking soda, apply a nice amount. When we get home I just run the vaccume over it, and the stain is out, no smell at all. It also works on throw up quite nicely.
Posted by: Gabrielle | July 21st, 2008 at 11:17 am
This is great news. We've had beautiful sisal rugs for years, and we've never had any accidents, even though the most beautiful rug is in the dining room. But our Shiba Inu, Keela, is getting on in years, so she now throws up occasionally, most recently on the dining room rug. Then our freind's little dog decided to relieve herself on the rug during a recent visit. The rug's days in our house seemed doomed, but now there's hope! Thanks for the tip! Perfect timing, too!
Posted by: John Royce | July 21st, 2008 at 11:53 am
Thank you, thank you for your recommendation! Our bedroom carpet is a mess lately from all the cat hairball stains. It seems like my old stain removers aren't working on our girl's latest messes. I'm hoping that this will work for those stains. I have printed out the nearby locations and I will be buying that product right away. Thanks again, I can't wait to use it.
Posted by: Cheryl | July 21st, 2008 at 12:10 pm
Poor Sharkey...she looks so dutiful sitting there until all is well again. Thanks for the tip on the product. It sounds better than soaking with something like "Nature's Miracle" and I will definitely look for it. I can't wait to see pictures of Iceland! I've been happy to see your summer session shows that you taped. I was missing new shows! Thanks for all that you do.

Martha,
I'm with other bloggers, got nervous when I read this title, Sharkey's accident! Thinking oh-oh, something went wrong! Whew! Glad to hear it was "that" kind of accident!
We have 4 Yorkshire's and have used "Nature's Miracle" over the years but this Host sounds great! I will definately get this product! Does it only work on "wet" spots? How about dry ones that you missed?
Sharkey's photo says it all...sorry Mom plus putting me on the Web for all to see? Geezh! LOL She's a sweetie!
Thanks!

Having had dogs for many years, I'm glad there's a good product out there for these situations......I'll keep it in mind when I get my next puppy! Sharkey has that sorry & concerned look. I'm sure when all was cleaned up, she went back to her adventureous self!
Posted by: Sherry | July 21st, 2008 at 5:48 pm
What exactly is sisal? I know a nice sisal rug when I see one, but I could not for the life of me tell you what it's made of.
Posted by: Marie | July 21st, 2008 at 6:16 pm
Sharkey looks like she was so concerned. She is a very compassionate dog.
Posted by: Sonia F. | July 21st, 2008 at 6:16 pm
Sorry Martha and Sharkey!!!! I knew from the love you show to us through so many blogs about your beloved pets that it completely skipped my mind that Sharkey is a SHE. I knew that from earlier posts and I'm so sorry that I did not remember my favorite pets Sharkey and Francesca are both female. I know they are expressive because you interact with them so lovingly. Forgive this oversight. Nan

What horrible crud I just read on the TMZ.com web site. How utterly low can people become? Martha, take my advice and don't let such scum get to you. You have nothing, nothing to be ashamed of. You have never done anything wrong no matter what anyone has said even the feds. Don't let this garbage affect you. You are the highest moral, intelligent, loving person I know. Your compassion for your animals is saintly and genuine. Just remember that we know you and someone of their mentality should be wiped off the face of the Earth. Nan
Posted by: Nan Ashby | July 21st, 2008 at 8:31 pm
I love all of the blog posts you have written regarding your beautiful animals! But, don't you have chinchillas? You should write more about your little chinnies! I'm sure they want the spotlight sometimes, too.
Keep up the good work!

Martha I love your blogs! Keep them coming. I love how you share little moments with everyone and bring a smile to everyones face.
I also posted a bit of a retort on TMZ's article. As follows:
"TMZ,
First I would like to address your complete and total ignorance. Martha shared a product she uses on her own personal blog. She posted personal sweet pictures of her home and pets and you are vapid enough to bash her? I don't see your derelict writers posting their private lives on public blogs for everyone to read. Secondly, your writers are completely and totally an OUNCE of intelligence. Sharkey is a female Frenchie that Martha has had for years along with Francesca. If you are going to bother even reporting a side note of a post on her blog at least get the facts right rather than running to post your latest trashy version of what you think is the truth. You have shown no respect towards Martha in the past, especially when her mother passed on, and I don't expect a disgusting piece of filth as TMZ to now. However, you have given me my chuckle for the day at your high-school level educated yuppies' lack of actually reporting on any real truth. Bravo TMZ. If this were newsprint I would have had something to line my birdcages for the week."
Posted by: Jess | July 22nd, 2008 at 1:36 am
This was just the product I was looking for when Dudley threw up on my mother's white carpet last week - Great tip - thanks!

Martha,
TMZ comments are not worth your response!! However, I love both your little doggies. I think they are adorable!! I haven't read the TMZ article, but shame of them for making assumptions when they have no clue about your relationship with your animals. It is very apparent that all your animals are well loved!!
Posted by: Beth | July 22nd, 2008 at 6:27 am
Oooohhhh - so TMZ reads Martha Stewart. Keep reading children, maybe you'll eventually learn something.
Posted by: Debbie | July 22nd, 2008 at 8:22 am
One of my ragdolls was having a tummy upset yesterday, so I searched several hardware stores for this product and found it! Martha, it is everything you said it was. It works like a charm and is very easy to use. It's the perfect thing for a person who chose her carpet color based on the color of kitty throw-up.
Posted by: Anne | July 22nd, 2008 at 8:32 am

Hi Martha, Thank You for the info
on the Dry Carpet Cleaner product.
My fur Babies have accidents at
times too, so the carpet cleaner
product is definitely a "Good Thing" to know about.
Sharkey is a sweet Girl and as
far as TMZ goes....UGH and YUCH!!
Never read their articles and never will. Good for you, for
setting them straight! The post
above by Debbie was GREAT!
Take care Martha and Hugs to
your fur Babies.

My husband and I had just purchased a beautiful braided seagrass rug when we adopted an Australian Shepherd puppy. As you can imagine, housetraining her was not compatible with our new rug!
We were at our wits end with trying to find someone to clean it when I read a response to a reader question in Living (I think it was the May 08 issue?) when you suggested Host. We bought it immediately and it has been the savior of our rug! Thanks for the tip, and it's nice to know that even Martha Stewart has to deal with such messes
Posted by: Jennifer | July 22nd, 2008 at 5:48 pm
I use HOST for my dog spills and all of my carpet. I rent the HOST machine to clean my traffic areas! It's dry really fast and the spots don't come back! I get mine at a local cleaning supply company, Capital City Cleaning & Supply here in Madison, WI. Go easy on the puppy (Accidents do happen!)
Posted by: Alissa | July 22nd, 2008 at 6:23 pm
Martha,
Having 2 Minnie doxies and 1 Chichi we have the occasional "accident" and I have searched every store, and the net for something that works on urine.So I am SUPER excited that you have found a great product that works. My parents will be even more excited! I live in Texas, Where might I get (HOST), can you get it in stores, or do I need to order it on-line.
I think the Picture with Sharkey is the cutest thing. The 1st time Maddiee, "minnie one eyed doxie " wet the floor, she got her picture taken by her accident spot. LOL I loved the face she gave when I took the picture. It was this droopy I'm sorry look. A few weeks later she took her 1st picture beside her pee pad, (She had used the pee pad, then Twisted the pee pad up for her momma.)
My other two use pee pads too, But only does my Maddiee twist "fold" up her pee pads for her momma. Yes, She is my little "weirdo" But I love her! I Video taped her doing it once, she literally gets her nose under the pee pad, That way she does not touch her own pee, and folds it over, and twists it. My mom says, it because she doesn't want to get her paws and nose dirty.
Just wanted to share my story and thank you for sharing about HOST.
PS. SHAME on TMZ, they only pick on you because You are a STRONG WOMAN! who is very successfully, in which they aren't. So people with no confidence pick on the ones who are confident.
Keep Up the good Work!
Would also Love to see your Office again, I've been Trying to Replica the office you showed on the show. I finally found the same type of metal desk. Just deciding on color now.
Posted by: Jennifer Bogle | July 22nd, 2008 at 6:34 pm

Martha,
What have you used for cat urine? We have a cat that is sick with epilepsy, and has seizures, which causes him to be incontinent of urine. Of course cat urine is soo hard to get rid of, esp the smell. We have tried everything! every product out there. Along with vinegar, and water. Is there any tried and true product you have found?!!

I am just too excited to have discovered Martha's blog!
On the topic of pet "accidents", I'm curious to hear suggestions for training kittens to use a litter box. I recently got two kittens for my parents as a gift. These two, Simon and Sass (the kittens, not my parents) are making use of two litter boxes on a fairly regular basis.
Unfortunately, these kitties still occaisionally like to "go" where ever they want. Any ideas?

I have to thank TMZ for showing your cute dog on there. Now I came to see how I can get pee out of a carpet. I am so glad I saw it because Sharkey is super cute.
TMZ is bad...but come on...it got me to come here and check it out!
Posted by: Taylor | July 27th, 2008 at 5:14 pm
Martha,
Thanks for letting people know about the best carpet cleaning system on the market. It works great for pet accidents and everything else. We discovered it a year ago and will never have a steam or hot water extraction carpet cleaner in our home ever again. We have a professional carpet cleaning company clean our carpets. They use the HOST sponges and HOST's machine with the rotating brushes and it is unbelievable the fresh and clean smell and soft feel of the carpet when they are done. Safe for the kids, dogs, and environment makes it the only choice. My westie wants to tell sharkey hello. Thanks again.

Martha,
Your readers might like to know that there are many professional carpet cleaners in the US and Canada that exclusively use the HOST cleaning system to clean carpeting, upholstery as well as floor tile & grout. They just need to contact Racine Industries (HOST) for the local professional cleaner in their area!

I have used this stuff for about 16 years and won't put anything else on my carpet. It has helped me removed those stubborn bottle drippings stains so many babies are famous for and, never mind, the 3 puppies I've raised through the years. Another beautiful thing about the product is that it keeps cleaning the carpet long after you vacuumed and works with today's carpet protections "stuff". If I sound like a rep, I'm not. But love the product so much, I’ve actually thought about it. Oh, it does way more than just spots. I either have someone come in or rent the machine and do all my carpets!! Did I mention it smells great:O)
Posted by: Theresa | September 5th, 2008 at 8:22 am
I knew you would have the answer. Searched your site and read about situation with Sharkey last week. Thought I'd try using Host. (I have a spaniel. She is approaching 12 and is having accidents every week now.) I had to come back and share that it really does work. Had a hard time finding it since I live in a small town but found Host online at InstallerStore.com. Thanks for the tip. Love our pets!

I gotta try that! My little schipperke, Ceta (looks like black bear) still pee on my carpet and my bed. She likes to mark anywhere she wants. I thought I was the only one that have two layers of thin blanket on my bed in case she pee or barf. I found out that you do the same!
I have another dog which is German Shepard/Lab mix, Bonita. She had accident down stair room carpet. She doesn't sleep with me, she prefer sleeping on my couch.

Posted by: Gail hochsprung | October 2nd, 2008 at 1:34 pm
The Host machine will probably work just fine on that Sisal Carpet,Dry Cleaning process.
Sisal is difficult to clean with water,Its a cactus fiber.And water stains wont come out,a cellulose fiber.Or any other stains. As far as the Pet stain,maybe soak up the dog pee,but as for any oder from urine will remain.Mite have a problem with black mildew issue and moving spoors will do great harm to youre health.

martha, we were at the doctors office today and picked up your magizine. and there was sharkey. two weeks ago we got a puppy that looks just like sharkey. we named him frank. he has brought us lots of joy to are heart. we were wondering what he was going to look like when he gets older and now we know. from the photos, we can't tell if sharkey has had her tail docked.

No Wet Carpet
Because HOST is a low-moisture cleaner, there’s no waiting for wet carpet to dry. With HOST, you can walk on your carpet during and immediately after cleaning!
The sponges will help reduce dust mites, dust mite allergens, cat allergens and mold spores*.
The HOST System of applying HOST Dry Carpet Cleaner to the carpet, brushing it through the carpet and then vacuuming up the HOST Dry Carpet Cleaner removes dirt and reduces allergens.
Research studies have shown that one cleaning with the HOST System using HOST Machines reduces: Dust mites by 78%, Dust Mite Allergen by 75%, Cat Allergen by 85%, Mold Spores by 85%:
No wet carpet
No sticky, soapy residue left behind
No filling or dumping of water
No chemicals to mix
Removes dust mites and other allergens
Safe for all types of carpet

Great post , You really hit the
mark with this, I just don't think that people quite get it.
I don't know how many individuals I've talked to about this very
thing in the past few days, and they just don't understand.
I similar to you am involved with carpet and upholstry cleaning and it is
a very good thing to see other people this business with like mentalities and thoughts
Never the less, Excellent post!

HOST IS A MIRACLE PRODUCT-IM ECSTATIC!!!!My cat threw up on my beige sisal rug-it was BAD! Professional cleaner came over and said nothing could be done to remove stain. Looked online in desperation for how to clean notoriously difficult sisals and came across your site and Martha's article. Found stockist, rented machine, bought powder, followed instructions- SO EASY : )
And MIRACULOUS! Stain completely gone and adding to that a one year old coffee stain (large) when my husband spilt his morning coffee which at the time we blotted and then place a large ottoman over it. But guess what? That stain disappeared COMPLETELY with Host too! I mean seriously its like a miracle! This sisal rug was $900. I thought it was ruined! For a $40 box of Host and $25 for the machine its value is fully restored. After that I couldnt stop there and did all the wool carpets in our home. SOOOO happy with the results. It removed an old grease stain that professional carpet cleaners couldnt get out! Thank you HOST! Cost efficient, easy, crazy effective and GREEN! It was so nice to know that my two kitties were safe as I used it. I just tweeted how amazing Host is. I want everyone to know! You can buy a sisal rug without fear knowing that this product is on the market if you have a spill.

I have had pets since i was 5-years old. This product sounds like a god-send. I no longer have pets. I'll keep this info close at hand. Thanks for sharing such important information for pets big and small. They thank you, too I am sure.

I can't believe sharkey had an accident. Maybe he should go to a good green tech event. That would be a good idea.
