I wanted to say thank you to all the FMLers who responded to my post on Carpet Shampooing and Ferrets. Those that wrote reported that they experienced no problems with their fuzzies after cleaning their carpets. I will probably wait until spring (so that I can open up all the windows in the house) and then rent a steamer from the local grocery store. Just to be on the safe side, I'll cage everyone while shampooing and keep them caged until the carpets are fully dried and vaccuumed. Thanks Again!
