Unfortunately I got resin on my laurie felt jeans when helping my son with an art piece. I immediately took them off and applied acetone. It left a ring, so I washed them and did not put them in the dryer. The stain was still there. Then I mixed vinegar and some dawn dishwashing liquid and poured it on the stains, let it sit and then rewashed. Unfortunately the stain is still there. Anyone have a magic potion stain remover? Thanks

Try club soda, it's known to be a great stain remover. Hope it works!

Thanks all and I thought of contacting the vendor but I’m not a facebook user.

Sounds like the acetone was a bad move. I think you removed some dye. It's not a stain.

I will take a stab, and say you ,might need to try to re-dye the spot. I think you removed the color

In the long run ,it is cheaper to take things like this to a dry cleaners, and see if they can fix it

You've done so much to them that it's possible that stain will never come. You should have taken them to your dry cleaners and told him what caused the stain. They can do wonders with stains but they always "leave it alone, don't do anything yourself". You can still take them in and explain the stain what put on it. Hopefully, they can get it out or at least make it better for you.

Sounds like you may of damaged the dye; could you sew in an applique?

Thanks for the contact info on Laurie Felt. The stain is dark. Just like it was when the resin dropped. I wanted to get it out before It hardened. Acetone removes it from my hands when I don’t wear gloves. I think you guys are right. I messed with it too much. Next time, dry cleaners! Yikes oh well.

@bmorechick, about a year ago I messed up my favorite denim blouse. Just a suggestion, and no guarantees, but sometimes it's a no harm/no foul situation. I put the blouse in the washer alone with a small amount of bleach and ran it through a full cycle. Was almost good, so I repeated the process. Managed to get the blouse to one color (lighter than it had been) but all one color. Still wearing it, still loving it! I know it stinks to ruin something we love. Good luck. LuLu
