I'll give you one guess what this is


Not sure? Looks like a drop cloth after painting a room? Well it's not. It is MY T-shirt. This is what I found in the dryer when I went to get the "clean" clothes out. This the the worst thing in there, but EVERYTHING had varying degrees of magenta and orange crayon melted to it … my new pants and Luke's new shirt included. I quickly sprayed MOST everything with OXY-clean super and put it right back in the washer. I used the WHOLE bottle. Fingers crossed that some of this comes out. But I'm not hopeful. SO if you see my around town with magenta stains on my pants, you know why.

note to self: must remember to check pockets for crayons.

Well if it doesn't come out you can start a new trend... if it does, share your stain removal secret! Why can't washable crayons really be "washable"!

Lestoil will get most stains out too. The shirt resembles tye-dye. Be glad it wasn't a diaper that exploded, I lost a whole load including my brand new sweatpants because we couldn't get the diaper beads out. Now that was nasty!

I said a little bad word in my head when I saw this. Ha! Maya manages to ruin a lot of her sleepers due to diaper blowouts in the middle of the night. I have the darndest time getting that kind of stain out. Bleach is my saving grace on my whites...
