What’s the craziest stain you’ve ever had to clean?

SOME YEARS AGO WE HAD TAKEN OUR CHILDREN TO THE CIRCUS. WE WERE ABLE TO GO IN THE BACK BEFORE IT STARTED. WELL ONE OF MY CHILDREN STEPPED IN ELEFANT DOO-DOO. WE DID NOT REALIZE IT BEFORE WE GOT IN THE CAR. IT WAS ALL OVER THE SEAT AS WELL AS THE CARPET. THE SMELL WAS BAD ENOUGH, BUT WHAT A JOB I HAD GETTING IT CLEANED. I SCRUBBED WITH SOAP AND WATER MORE THAN ONCE. THEN I USED UPHOLSTERY AND CARPET CLEANER. I DID GET IT CLEANED UP AFTER SPENDING OVER 3 HOURS WORKING ON IT.

When my aunt passed away, my uncle gave me one of her Belgian lace tablecloths as a momento. Well, I brought it home and couldn’t wait to put it on my dining room table. I did so, only to find that it was covered with red wine and it must have been sitting for years in the cupboard so that the wine was now part of the fabric. Being that this was before computers and the internet I had no idea what to do until a friend suggested using table salt and club soda. Rub in gently and then put it through the delicate cycle in your washer. It worked!!!! Looks like brand new. No holes, no tears. 

the craziest stain i have ever had to clean has to be any food my daughter ate as an infant then spit it up! between baby food, crumbs from floor, grass; etc. i have seen some crazy stains!

We had just bought our new home less than six months of living in it. I ended up rescueing a husky mix female from a pound that euthanizes as I fell instantly in love. Anyway, she got her big paws on a pack of paint pens I had just purchased and hadn’t even used yet. Needless to say she chewed them up on our carpet and what a sight it was!!!

I never did get that stain out ( though I must have looked like a maniac with all the scrubbing and different stain removers I tried) so we pulled it up and put in wood. I love my dog “Storm’ with all my heart! She was not punished as it was my fault to not putting them up and I got new floor out of the whole fiasco!

Gotta roll with the punches don’t ya know!!

Sharpie on my new red work shirt. I still haven’t gotten it out. Ouch sad face.

? from what i remember about working in a restaurant it sounds kind of like a normal day.  Bahahahahahaha! oh gise! you are a wild child! wearing pucci at work around red wine?  great story!!!  :heart:

but the one about your dog…ewwwwwwwwwww!!:cattongue:

? teeeeee heeeeee. the dental hygenist should win the prize for such a quick and funny question.. please tell him, or her, thank you for me!!!! :heart:

I work for a dentist, and most of the time I eat lunch at my desk. I had brought some leftover spaghetti with meat sauce from home. Slob that I am, a big blop of sauce landed smack on one of my sisters. I ran to the bathroom and scrubbed at the spot with soap and water, satisfied that it would dry before anyone could see, except when I stepped out, the hygienist was right there. She took one look at my water-stained shirt and dead panned, “Nursing again?” 

Just one more. I’ll be brief.

When my beloved dog get really mad at me like if she doesn’t like the particular meal I made for her she’ll go out and come back S***faced.  For those still wondering, this has nothing to do with alcohol consumption…she literally rolls in it and it not even her’s it some other dog’s!  Clean up is one supremely nasty experience. 

I’m allowing myself to post 2 stain events. Some of you have seen my pic of my mod $800 Pucci pants. The 1st time I wore them was at my restaurant (yes a restaurateur…I don’t recommend it unless your a masochist).

Anyway while struggling with the cork of a bottle of red wine for a table it broke all over my new pants. Forget the apologies to the table I ran like a bat out of hell into the kitchen, hopped over the dishwasher into the wash basin of dirty dishes grabbed the big water pressure gun, dumped a gallon of dish soap, sprayed myself down while taking my pants off in front of like 15 of my male kitchen staff. No shame. Even more pitifully ridiculous was the makeshift miniskirt I made out of a 54″x54″ tablecloth to sport the rest of the evening w/out undergarment. A girl’s gotta do what a girl’s gotta do. No shame.

The craziest stain I’ve had to clean? The soil in our backyard. I didn’t put anything underneath some flower pots while spray painting them different colors. The flower pots looked good. The yard, not so much. We were having a party at our house the next day and we couldn’t have a polka dotted yard. I scrubbed the grass and soil to try to remove the paint. 

My fluffy white dog chewed up a package of red and blue ink pens on my ivory rug and then rolled himself up in it. The same dog ran through a paint roller pan and to this day loves to roll in deer dung. 

? hi, i am not crazy, i was responding to the chair post i did, and you wrote on the coat post…. sorry:catvery-happy: tee hee. yes, the coat cost a lot and i loved it. man, those tacos weren’t even worth it.:heart: i haven’t ever been to marshall field’s.  i am from los angeles and we didn’t have one.  i did go to bullock’s wilshire, though.  wow, you are right…magic.:heart:

? why is it always at 5:00 am?  i can just hear my cats now…” you know, i really can’t catch and eat after 9:00, anymore.  it’s just gives me indigestion.  sometimes i have to get up and vomit all over mom and dad to make them get up and pet me.  maybe they’ll give me a little soda water….” :cattongue: :heart:
