Sudocreme

A pot of it has been rubbed into the couch, and DD's fancy new Xmas outfit bought by MIL.
Is there a way of cleaning them ?
I just turned my back for one minute.

Sudocreme is the work of the devil.

If it is a fabric couch, then as hot as you can bear water with tiny bit of washing up liquid and a nail brush. Plus lots of elbow grease.

With clothes I find rubbing with a dry cloth normally takes most of it off. I take it that the outfit can't be out in the washing machine?

Hello Spot, thanks for response.
I was hoping for a more magical answer than elbow grease though Grin
Best roll up the sleeves.

Baby wipe first?
My niece and dd and nephew are currently sporting spicky hair do's Sudo cream and vaseline Angry Two men a video game and child care do not mix, but the pics are funny Grin

No magical answers to sudocreme mishaps.

I wept one day when I came downstairs to find a giant tub liberally spread over two rooms.

We keep ours in the fridge now, you'd think it was a highly dangerous material considering how quickly it comes out and goes back in Grin

Shock canyou!

Spot the only good thing is it has been 6 weeks since we did a head check [2 older in school] so if there are any creature features they will be smothered and I can just comb through hair, also way to cold they can have bath and hair washing tonight esp as DP is off and he is ultimately responsible. We also know that sudo cream does not work as a hair gel replacement but vaseline does Grin

Silver linings and all that Smile

Was going to say its the work of the devil but someone beat me to it lol.

My DD rubbed it all over her curtains in the bedroom, yes the pics DP took of her were funny but getting the stuff off wasnt. I found a baby wipe before washing helped.

We had an insurance man round (looking at paint in the carpet) and I asked him about sudocrem all over the sofa. He said it was their most common claim and that the professional cleaners won't touch it. Maybe you can get a new sofa out of it???

It must be really bad!

I told my Mum about what happened in my house (honestly it took hours to clean).
She laughed and said it was pay back for the time my DSIS and I poured a big bottle of Fairy washing up liquid, all over the kitchen floor.
