Sunday night, 9:00, after a long and full day, Sean and I sat down to enjoy a movie. The kids weren't quite asleep but they were all tucked into their beds and had been for awhile. Aiden walks into the living room and asks me what cream is on Caileigh. I tell him I put a little Nivea on her and he needs to go back to bed. "But mommy, why is she all white?" Sean and I looked at each other and then called Caileigh in. This is what we saw. ZINC CREAM!!!!
I throw Caileigh in the bath and Sean starts to deal with the mess of cream all over our bed sheets. Aiden comes into the bathroom and asks what we are going to do about the cream on the carpet. Cream on the carpet?? We raced upstairs and this is what we saw.
These pictures truly do not give the mess justice. There were thick globs over the carpet in their room, at the top of the stairs and various other places throughout the house. We have spent over 4 hours scrubbing, cleaning, using baking soda, vinegar, carpet cleaners and the result is.......the mess is gone!!! If anyone ever needs to know how to get zinc cream out of clothes or carpet, email me, I am now an expert!

ReplyDeleteIf they get into the lanolin, give me a shout. I'm an expert at that!
I am so sorry but I laughed out loud when I saw that picture of her covered in the zinc cream!! I have a freind who's daughter got into Vaseline on her brand new duvet set and pillowcases etc...the room was covered in it and vaseline is almost impossible to get out! Eek!!
ReplyDeleteOh my! The look on her face is too funny, ha ha!
