My dog went counter surfing and found a slab of BBQ ribs that he then enjoyed eating in the middle of the alpaca rug in the family room.
Believe it or not it all came out with not much effort. I used Laundress, a delicate wash soap, and a little water. I gently patted and lightly rubbed the area with a white cotton t-shirt. I am so amazed that it all came up. No BBQ smell either. Amazing!
