Tide to go pen on ink stain

OK, thanks Shopgirltanya for handing me the Tide to go pen after reading my last post — I used it on my ink stain that’s on my white shirt today. It did get most of the ink out of the shirt, but has left a water stain effect in place of the ink. I’ll wash it when I get home and hopefully it will come out all the way. Worthy of a second trial I’d say.

 

Ink stain

This is a question for you all — what is the best product to get out an ink stain? And, what do you all use the Clorox pen for? This particular ink stain in on a white blouse — the one I am wearing today so I'm thinking of trying the Clorox pen, but have doubts that it will work. Advice appreciated.

 

Woolite Oxy Deep Spot & Stain Carpet Cleaner removes stain on futon chair

Recently a friend of my dad's gave me a futon chair (styled similar to Ikea's Poang). Apparently it had been sitting in the deep recesses of their warehouse because the twill-like cushion was covered with light yellow spots. I don't know what that yellow was, nor do I want to know, as I fear it could be some sort of insect droppings, but let's not go there. My initial instinct was to hand the cushion over to dad to use as a new pet bed, but after researching the cost of replacing the cushion cover and/or cushion, I decided to try whatever household cleaning products I had to remove the stains. In my arsenal I found Woolite Oxy Deep Spot & Stain Carpet Cleaner. Completely ignoring the fact it was intended for carpet, I doused what little was left in the bottle on to the cushion and washed it on heavy duty cycle. After the first wash, most of those unspeakable stains were gone.

 

Oxyclean weekend success story #2

I was on a roll this weekend with oxyclean so I must share my second success story. It's almost too much to believe — two in one weekend.

Anyway, I was washing clothes and had a dirty cloth diaper. It had a few large stains (either puke or poop, not sure which) on it even after being washed. The stains didn't come out in the regular wash. As I was about to put it in the dryer I thought that by drying it the stains would never come out. Now was my opportunity. So, I put it in the laundry room sink with some water and oxyclean. I made a paste of the oxyclean and rubbed it in the diaper then let it soak in the oxyclean water that was in the tub. I left it overnight. What do you think I saw the next morning? Yes, ladies, a perfectly clean, sparkling white cloth diaper — ready to be pooped or puked on again

 

Oxyclean and a blood stain

I did my latest oxyclean test today — Blood Stain on a pair of nice slacks. The stains were right where they could be seen, on the thigh area. So, I put some oxyclean in my hands and wet it just enough so that I could smear it into the pants. Then, I let them sit in it overnight. And, guess what the results were … drumroll please … it came out. Yes it did. And I have to admit, that I let the stain sit for two weeks before I tried to get it out. Now, I also have to admit that I don't think I was going to mention that part if my experiment didn't work, but oxyclean is amazing so I'm not suprised it came out. Pants are as good as new.
