Last week Megan was wearing on of her outfits that I liked best and she decided to draw on it with an ink pen (Naughty girl!) not only did she do that but we also were out at my parents working on grapes and she squished some up against herself and she had this large purple splotch on it. I felt really bad about it but we had a very busy day (it was Mara's birthday) and I didn't get around to do anything about it until that night. But guess what?! The jumper is now stain free. Here is what I did:
For ink stains I learned a long time ago that rubbing alcohol will take them out or if you don't have that (which I don't at the time) you can use a bit of hairspray instead. It worked wonderfully. For the Grape stains I remembered that Mom had soaked fruit stains in a watered down milk solution. I wasn't sure if it would work but I decided to try it overnight. The next morning it wasn't all gone but it was much much lighter. I decided to rub it with a little bar soap and then threw it in my load of wash. I thought there would probably be a tiny stain left but there isn't! I was so excited.
That is what works for me this week! For more Works for Me Wednesday tips go to Rocks in my Dryer.
