Being on hiatus means I get to catch up on a lot of home projects. My latest project - trying to clean the upholstered white slip cover on my couch. I've tried this before to lackluster results. The cover is a white linen - stupid choice, yes, BUT I'm a girl and it's very girlie and pretty...when it's clean.
My fiance's family is coming for Thanksgiving and I can't bear for them to see the wine splotched, chocolate stained, dingy slipcover! We recently fostered a little kitten who walked into our fireplace and then all over the white slipcover. I have about a dozen perfect kitten paw prints covering 2 of the cushions. Ha! You can totally see the spot where I realized what was happening and swooped in to save the couch. I looked online and a new slipcover is over a thousand dollars! That's as much as the couch!
Now the good news: OxiClean Laundry Stain Remover! This product is AMAZING! OMG! It says that it gets out old stains - chocolate, red wine, grass. I didn't believe it. Why would I? Products never do what they say they do. THIS ONE REALLY DOES! My cushions are like NEW! It got out this one coffee stain from like 2 years ago! I looked online and it gets great reviews.
All you have to do is spray it on, rub it a bit over the stain, wait and then wash. I was very generous with the spray. (I actually just ran out and have to get more.)
Anyway, I'm just so thrilled I had to pass it on. Woo hoo!
Tomorrow I will be on The Bonnie Hunt Show so please check it out!
NOTE: I just took my second set of cushions out of the washer and they didn't brighten up as much as the first set. UGH! I was running out of OxiClean so I wasn't as generous as the first time around. This second set of cushions is actually a bit splotchy. You can see where I sprayed and where I didn't. I'm going to have to go get more of this stuff and re-wash. Just wanted to give you the latest and greatest update on my cushion project : )
