I fell down in my house last night carrying a plate of food to my couch. The food spilled onto the couch, mostly on the arm rest and a throw pillow. There are some food particles and butter stains on it. Does anyone have a good cleaning method, non-toxic to the budgies that I can use to clean it? Or should I just leave it be - get a new throw pillow and knit some doilies to cover the stains?

Thank you jellybean, I'm fine. You know the video of the man slipping on the banana peel and falling? Basically that's what happened. I had a plate of ravioli and one slipped off the plate, I stepped on it and down I went. My neighbor came over and helped me onto the couch. Luckily I just had butter on the ravioli rather tomato sauce - that would have been sooo messy. I'm sore today and will go in to get an X-ray on my back tomorrow to make sure nothing cracked since I landed on my bum and then back. |

So glad you are OK …… Try baking soda or talcum powder on the stain……leave it on overnight and then brush or vacuum it off.

Really hope the x-rays are fine. What a way to fall! Sounds like you have a great neighbour.
Salt is very good for lifting stains. A paramedic told me this years ago and it was amazing. I had rather a mess to clean up after someone was explosively unwell (I'll omit the details) but it certainly saved someone’s carpet, rug, upholstered chair and more.

Oof! That must have been scary, tweetiepiesmom. Good thing, like you said, that it was butter and not tomato! I hope your x-rays are all clear. |

Ouch, hope the xrays are ok.
Tomato may have been more messy, but surely butter is more slippery?

No fall is fun once you’ve lost your bounce back. Hope all is well; can’t help with the stain question, though.

I had the X-ray done. Good news, no cracks or breaks, everything is where it was before the fall. With all the stuff going on in my body, at least I have strong bones. My doctor gave me exercises to do to strengthen my legs.

Good news tweetiepiesmom. Now take it easy and enjoy your Christmas. Did you get the stain up? |

Thanks, ariella. Most of the stain was a grease stain from the butter. I tried first with the baking soda and then salt. Between the two most of the stain came up so I think I'm the only one who'd know it had been there. |
