Is there a risk of it getting ruined? Is that something she takes into consideration?
Is there a risk of it getting ruined? Is that something she takes into consideration?
There are times when she doesn't want to mess things, like when I surprised her after a job interview. If you look at the original before pic, she has on a sweater/wrap(?) type thing she wore to the interview. She likes to wear that thing with other outfits so she took it off before the sploshing to avoid it getting ruined. I will say that you may be surprised at what actually does wash clean. Women's formal wear is surprisingly durable. I spill mustard on one of my cotton t-shirts and it is ruined forever; I cover Andi in all kinds of mess in a prom dress, and it washes clean! The white parts of her formal dress looked to be stained blue after rinsing her off, but it came clean in the wash. Another case in point, we took a white lace dress of hers and covered her in chocolate pudding and brownie batter. She went into that mess fully expecting the dress to be ruined. To both of our surprise, that dress came clean after a bit of bleaching! And I mean clean, like she could wear it out to dinner again
I'll put some pics below to illustrate. And I think the whole "Dry Clean Only" thing is a scam. I have run plenty of things with that label through a regular washing machine and it has come out fine. I would not wash something dry clean only with other clothes though, the colors tend to bleed out on some things. And while not completely ruined by a sploshing, not everything comes out perfect. Some of the white parts of Andi's 4th of July leotard were stained kind of pink from the red slime. And one final thought, if you are planning on trying to salvage an outfit, I would avoid real whipped cream. It tends to leave a sour milk smell that is impossible to get out. The cream pies we use are made with non-dairy whipped topping (generic Cool Whip). And this is probably more information on our laundry than you ever wanted...
The plan for this outfit would be the green slime that we had joked about. Maybe a few pies. I think of chocolate or caramel sauce and whipped cream when I think of ice cream toppings, what do you have in mind?
