To think if a carpet is pissed on it should be replaced?

[GeometricGiraffes]

Or at least professionally cleaned?

I'm taking an adult human here. Not a puppy or something.

It's been 'cleaned' by the pisser but I can still smell it.

It's an old carpet anyway but AIBU to want SOME money towards it being replaced or the pisser to pay for it to be professionally cleaned?

[NearlyGranny]

YANBU! And YANBU to expect this to be offered by the pisser. 😷

[TheQueef]

At the very least a carpet shampoo.

[SandAndSeals]

Professionally cleaned, yes. Or deep cleaned by the pisser. Replaced (especially if old and in need of replacing anyway), no.

However, I want to know the backstory...

[Volvemos]

Soda water helps with the smell in the meantime.

[Bananalanacake]

yes. they pay for it to be cleaned.

[IDontLikeZombies]

Ye Gods, this is grim.
Unless there's some medical/mental health reason for peeing on the carpet they need to pay.

[ActualHornist]

YANBU. I’d cut them a bit of slack if it was a heavily pregnant woman who didn’t make it rather than an obnoxious drunk.

[MLMsuperfan]

Isn't this the story of The Big Libowski?

[MirriMazDuur]

It will have already soaked through the underlay, so I doubt professional cleaning would get rid of the smell.

[TwattingDog]

Eh? No. Use a carpet cleaning machine and job done.

Why has a human pissed on a carpet though? I assume you don't have a carpet down in the loo....

[Sweetaholic]

Definitely a professional clean and YES money from the culprit whatever the reason.

[livefornaps]

Omg tell us what happened

[SleepWarrior]

I'm guessing someone blind drunk had an accident.

Yanbu though. I'd say full cost for cleaning or a contribution to replacement (not whole cost in that case though).

[Elbeagle]

Professional clean but not a full replacement.

[Sexnotgender]

YANBU! That’s revolting

[GeometricGiraffes]

Yes drunk adult.

I don't really want to get it cleaned as I planned on replacing after Christmas.

WIBU to get a quote for cleaning then ask for that amount and put it towards replacing it?

It absolutely REEKS.

[dontgobaconmyheart]

Why has an adult pissed on the carpet OP?- what is the context?

I think replacement is excessive but would want a professional clean done (by a legitimate company). Who paid depends on context really.

[Elbeagle]

You can’t ask for a full replacement as they won’t be replacing like for like... it would be buying a brand new carpet to replace on old, worn one that you were planning to replace anyway.
You can definitely ask for a contribution though.

[GrimalkinsCrone]

Think about this logically, rather than rage at a drunk.
If a pregnant/elderly/ disabled/ ill person had peed on the carpet, would you still want it replaced? Thoroughly cleaned, yes.

[TitianaTitsling]

Random grim pissing in living/bed room/hall or dribbling pee on bathroom carpet?

[Ukholidaysaregreat]

Hahaha! Love this naming of the PISSER. Might be my new go to nick name for those that irritate me.

[Femaleassassin]

Feckin hell. So it was pissed on by a guest?

[ButtonMoonLoon]

I don’t think I could live with this for a moment longer than necessary.
Can you get it replaced before Christmas instead?

[GeometricGiraffes]

It was a full bladder unloading on the landing. A very full bladder. Like a M² puddle.

[LolaSmiles]

Professional cleaning should be covered by the drunk pisser.

Wanting it replaced because you were going to replace it anyway is cheeky.
