Question Posted Wednesday October 18 2006, 8:57 pm
okay, well i have these pair of abercrombie khaki(sp?) colored capri pants that were in the back of my closet. i just got done cleaning my closet out today and i found the capri pants, my absolute favorite pair! but there was one major problem--- on the back a little lower than the butt pocket was a dot of purple marker! no, not a little dot, and not a hugeee or big one. just kinda in between. well i basically tried EVERYTHING to get it out. bleach, that didn't work.(it didn't change the capris to white, though, thank God!) i also used this Zout stuff. it works really good on my other clothes, just not on this specific pair. omg, someone, please help me! im basically DESPERATE lol. please don't say anything like "throw the pants out" or anything like that. any ideas on getting it out will be MUCH appriciated! thank you sooooooo much! (good answer= good rating!) ;)
I've also heard the vinegar gets rid of stains; its worth a shot. (The smell washes out with soap)
And keep in mind that anyone who notices this stain will probably be staring at your butt for quite awhile, if it's small. (The stain, not your butt =P)
You could always take the pants to the cleaners; it'd be a lot less expensive than replacing the pants and they're experts at stains. [ LM's advice column | Ask LM A Question ]
