A big thanks to ya, Becc!

I'm in denim bottoms practically 24/7/365, and very rarely put them in the dryer. Hence, this is really helpful.

Eons ago, I heard that Coke can also remove a bumper sticker from a car. FWTW.

Hey, nice to know. I've got a bumper sticker I need removed. Now I know what I'm doing tomorrow!

Good to know. I've never heard this before.

Gasp! I didn't know that!!!

I don't know of any EMT that would stay at a scene long enough to clean it up..... Never heard this.... ESPECIALLY at an accident scene ..EMERGENCY treatment and transport should be the goal...

You mean you don't carry around a few cans of coke to dump over the mess????

I would be afraid what all that Coke would do to my washer? I did hear that Coke is extremely caustic and has so much acid. I used to drink a ton of that stuff and Pepsi, too. Maybe that it what happened to my stomach!!! I haven't had a glass of either in years.

I would be inclined to place the jeans and Coke in a "full" load of water. If you place your machine on a normal setting, it would cycle through wash and rinse and then rinse again. I asked my husband about this (he knows this stuff) and he said no worries.

Edited to all: I can't imagine Peggy Sagers having given this advice on her PBS program if the Coke had damaged her washing machine at home. No way!

Hmmm Interesting. Can we use Pepsi? I hate Coke! lol. (I wash and use softener on all clothing I buy before wearing, and my jeans never feel like they're not broken in, they feel fine).
