| Hand-me-down shirt, Skirt from a dress I cut up, thrifted belt, Steve Madden sandals |
Out of everything in my repair pile this skirt was the most pressing to me. I LOVE this skirt and wear it constantly so when it got a big grease stain on the side from when I leaned into the car to put Baby 2 in his car seat I was devastated.
Fortunately, this woman from church has recently been preaching the gospel of Shout Advance Greasy Stain Remover (she reads my blog sometimes- hi Erin!!) so I ran and got myself some and lo, I have been converted and will now preach that gospel too. That shiz WORKS. Pulled the stain right out. It also saved an entire load of Aaron's clothes when he forgot to take his brand new totally full tube of chapstick out of the pocket of the jeans and it went through the dryer. Miracles, I tell you!
What'd you repair? Link up below and/or add it to the Flickr group!
I have olive oil stains on pretty much every single one of my favorite pieces in my closet... I'm testing this stuff out.
ReplyDeleteThat's great! I love Shout so much because I'm constantly spilling stuff on my clothes and always need to remove a spot or two. (Sometimes more, ;))
ReplyDeleteKAYLA, I WANT THAT SKIRT! lol Super jealous.I've been looking for a red skirt, but just haven't found one and that one just looks perfect. Good repair!
ReplyDeleteOh, I need to get me some of that!! I'm about the clumsiest person on the planet. I can't tell you how many things I've ruined with one thing or another spilling all over myself!
ReplyDeleteOh, my goodness! I am going to try that with crayon stains. Maybe it will work!
ReplyDeletewill be investing in that product next time i am at the store
ReplyDeletethe chapstick thing is a perpetual problem in the winter!
brett
I am like a child and constantly stain my clothes so I will be joining the Shout Advance congregation.
ReplyDeleteI really love reading your blog! What a great tip today :)
ReplyDeletei have nothing to be repaired... what to do?!
ReplyDeleteUmmm...yeah, I can't wait to try that stuff. I've got some other clothes that would LOVE to be saved.
ReplyDeleteSounds like something I need to invest in! Your skirt looks great!
ReplyDeleteYay for fixing favorite clothes! I've found that plain old dish soap works wonders on cooking oil stains. It was an epiphany I had one day when watching one of those Dawn commercials where they show its amazing grease cutting powers. I don't even use Dawn. I just buy the cheapest generic stuff, and I keep some in my laundry room. I squirt it on any grease spots, make sure they are well saturated, then toss them in the laundry like usual. It even works after they've been through the dryer, which is good since that's when I always notice them. Thankfully I haven't had the opportunity to try it on chapstick or motor grease, yet.
