So, until tonight C ruined his first important item. Let me back up. He was playing quietly in our bedroom after dinner, which isn't that unusual. He usually just turns on/off lamps or burrows in the covers. I went to check on him, and he was busy drawing away on our bedding w/a blue ink pen. I about died. Needless to say, our bedding is pretty much ruined. I got mad at him. Scott got mad at him. C ran to the living room crying. I came and spoke with him, but he was hysterical, so I tried to calm him down. He stood there and puked all over himself and the floor. LOVELY! The vomit was the easy clean up. The bedding---not so easy.
We've tried rubbing alcohol--to some effect. We tried Spot Shot, but I ran out after one spray. We've tried hair spray--to some effect. I need to go buy more alcohol and try some more. I've washed them, but they are just hanging out in the laundry room air drying until I have time to work on them more. Here is the death toll of our bedding:
1 white sham: completely unsalvageable I think
1 sham that matches our duvet cover: questionable $29 a piece, but our duvet set is unavailable so we will have to buy an updated version that's similar)
1 duvet cover: questionable ($129-139)
1 decorative pillow: salvageable
1 pillowcase: most likely unsalvageable (but I will continue to sleep on it probably) (our set to replace comparable is $70
Cost to replace the bedding ruined (which is basically everything except our Portuguese Matelasse coverlet) is about $260 w/o shipping. AHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Does anyone know where I can buy Ink Out?
And in more thrilling news: we are under a blizzard warning. Our street has a sheet of ice on it, so I feel doubtful about the cookie exchange or church tomorrow.
