Blog World, remember our little ink fiasco over the weekend? I'm proud to report that it is all fixed. Every piece that I thought was ruined was saved--single-handed--by Carbona Stain Devils-No 3 Ink and Crayon. Oh yes!!!!!! I didn't really think it possible. I found this stuff at JoAnn's fabric (but Schnucks in Bloomington also carried some of it). JoAnn's carries the whole line of Stain Devils--stain removers directed at certain stains--like ink. It was easy, too. I just squirted the Stain Devil on, rubbed/pushed it w/my finger. I let it set for about 20 min. and then rinsed in the washing machine. It all came out except one spot on the white case. I had obviously missed that spot b/c the other spots on that same case had disappeared. I retreated the spot and repeated the rinsing. All clear. I want Scott to give everything the once over one more time before I wash them and dry them, but major crisis averted. Now the Stain Devils aren't cheap, and my stains required 1.5 bottles (they're really little), but worth it. I'd bought 4 stain removers that claimed they removed ink, but I started with this one since it was specifically geared toward removing ink. Luckily, I can return the other ones.
Embarrassingly, Scott had ordered replacement bedding from Overstock.com for a fraction of the cost I had suggested to actually replace our Pottery Barn set. I think unless we just love the new set, we are sticking with the old (which is 5-6 years old, but I still LOVE it). We will probably keep the new sheets if they look nice though.
Hip, Hip, Hurray, The Stain Devils saved the day (to the tune of SuperWhy's hip hip hurray song)
Get to the store and buy some if you have a pesky stain--from nail polish to oil--they have a stain devil for you. http://www.carbona.com/stainwizard.aspx

This is really good to know. I have a feeling that similar mishaps are inevitable in our future!
