We've hit bad mood.

My single pair of work shorts - which I am quite attached to - picked up a nice purply ink stain a week or so ago. In attempting to remove the stain earlier this week (using hair spray as my mom and several websites suggested), I simply spread it from a very dark, dime-sized stain to having a corona of light purple around it for several inches in each direction. I just now attempted to fix this, using hair spray and nail polish remover, and simply managed to make the shorts look like I dipped them in purple kool-aid.

Now I'm going to have to wear pants to work in the 100/40+ degree heat, in the car with no air conditioning.

Plus I'm hungry, want thai food, and can't find Rachel.

Yesterday/Today was a bad day (or 2) all around *sigh*

how about dying the shorts the same color as the stain?

They wouldn't remain "work shorts". For that, they have to be khaki.

if simple green can't get it out then i don't think anything can. that's the safest way i know how to get out stains. i use them on the carpets in car. heh

On clothes even?? Weird.

The problem isn't getting the stain out, it's getting the stainy liquid up from the pants instead of spreading around. *sigh*

Yep. My jug says you can add it to the laundry as a "booster".

Perhaps the upholstery attachment on a steam cleaner/vacuum (not sure of the correct word, I mean something like the Bissell Little Green cleaner) could help with the sucking-liquid-up problem. Or take them to a dry cleaner?
