Ya know I can't belive I have never thought about that, well as far as carpet goes anyway. I feel so dirty now.
When I prepare it I think about and clean up the counter and when I feed them in the kitchen I think about it and clean the floor. But I haven't thought about that on the carpet. Shame on me. I do steam about once a month or so just to keep it clean with all the critters & traffic I have on my carpets. And granted they only eat on the carpet maybe once a week or once every other week. But still, looks like I'll be steaming more often. Thanks for pointing that out to me.

Wouldn't the bacteria go right through the newspaper though? Its so porus. I think an old vinyl tablecloth or something would be better than paper.
