Crap.

I just lost about a litre of two-stroke down the front of my jeans.

Any of you domestic goddesses know the SOP for getting that shit out?

What IS it?

[pdragon76]

LOLOL.

Fuel/oil mix in a ratio of about 50:1. I'm guessing the best course of action here is to head down the shops and grab a bag of marshmallows and a long stick.

*facepalm*

Oh! Well, they use dishwashing liquid to get oil off of ducks and stuff, so maybe it'll work for your pants, too. I might consider how important those particular pants are though, yeah. Yikes!

[pdragon76]

Fuel/oil mix. Goes in the lawn mower. Or down my pants.

It pours just as well into either. *shows you*

Dishwashing liquid, eh? Alrighty. I'ma give that the royal order of the bash. Can't do any more harm than lighting a match under them, which was my initial instinct.

liquid dish soap is your friend. wash it fast. I took a bath in that shot last week cutting firewood. wash your jeans a couple of times in cold water. DO NOT put the jeans in the clothes dryer until the stain is gone or you will never get it out.
That may be the only useful piece of information my brain has retained in the last decade

Roger that, big dipper. Applying dishwashing liquid now.

*squirts liberally*

*\o/* Thanks for the tip.

Dude, I've heard of using some unusual substances as lube, but....

Tee hee!

[pdragon76]

And here I was, thinking: OOOOH! I'll make a post. Em will know how to fix this!

And besides, it's called two-stroke. What the hell else am I supposed to use it for?

[janissa11]

Em is doing a big Jared Laugh right now. HEEEEEEEEEEE!

Def dishwashing liquid. It's the only thing I know of.

*SQUISHY LUBE-Y HUGS*

Make sure you rinse the jeans out well and remove all the dishwashing soap BEFORE you put them in the washer. Otherwise, you'll have suds all over the house. Dishwashing detergent should never go into the washer.

Also, glad I'm not the only one whose mind hit the gutter about "two-stroke". LOL!!

[pdragon76]

Duuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuude. I was about two seconds off shoving those babies straight in the washer without so much as a squeeze-out.

Thank you. That could have been...soapy.

[brigid_tanner]

Well, it's not a bad thing if you want to mop the floor :) My "family business" is appliance sales and repair. We've gotten called out more often than you'd think cause people run out of regular detergent and substitute.

Do did you get the oil out?

[pdragon76]

I did! They is like new! Except for all the worn patches and the horsey stains. But they was there beforehand.

*\o/* You guys is laundry experts. See? Who needs a conventional family upbringing with the inherited stain removal tips. NOT ME I HAS TEH EL-JAY PEOPLES. :D
