Battlefield!

I thought since I had nothing to do, I had better think of what to wear for Grace's wedding on Monday night...

I took out the white dress that I intended to wear and to my horror found that there were 3 brown spots on it! I guess my dress probably got 'infected' because I have not worn it for so long...yeah since my ROM in Jul 06!!

So..here comes Battlefield 1:
*Wet Tissue with Detergent VS Clorox Bleach Pen (CBP) VS Traditional Bleach (TB) that comes in those big green bottles*

As I had heard of how TB turns white clothes yellow..I was apprehensive about using TB on my expensive dress.

So first I decided to use wet tissue with detergent to try to get rid of the stains. Efforts were futile. I was afraid that I would get holes on my dress if I continue to rub on the same spot with the wet tissue.

So second came the CBP. There were 2 tips on the pen. One side with the small tip and the other with a brush on it. Both sides did not work. Not even when I added detergent with it. I AM STUCK!

Then I decided to use some TB...and VIOLA!! The stains came off!!

Conclusion: TB is good for spots stains; not for entire pieces of white clothes. If you need to bleach whole pieces of white clothes then use the more expensive Clorox meant for white clothes only.

Battlefield 2: *Wet tissue VS ugly toes prints*

Realised that the pair of heels that I wore for my ROM had ugly toe prints on it! You know those ugly toe prints on the surface...and it does not help when the shoe is made of satin-like material.

So I decided to use wet tissue to wipe the stains off. To my wildest horror the stains looked more obvious after that! Feeling demoralised I left it alone. I came back to take a look at it after I was done with my dress and to my surprise the stains were lighter!

Hmm...so conclusion: for satin-like material shoes, use wet tissue to clean the stains and leave the shoes to dry after that!
