My wife takes some real strong medicines. The ones she takes at night make her sleep like the dead. I had a load of feed I was delivering tonight rather than tomorrow in the snow/ice we are supposed to get. So I just got home. I had called her earlier and told her she would need to let the dogs out before I would get home. I would put them in when I got home. So she let the house dogs out. Well they got to barking loud enough to wake her back up and she just let them back in while she was half asleep. She texted me that.
The problem: The Shih Tzu is black. She got into some BLACK used diesel oil. The wife did not notice that the dog was soaked in oil. The dogs usually sleep in dog beds in the utility room. We do not have a gate up but they 95% of the time never sleep any where else. The Shih Tzu decided to sleep in the good living room tonight. Her preferred "bed" for the night happened to be the wife "NEW" couch. It is a light brown cloth covered one. We have only had it ONE WEEK!!! It is Scotch guarded but it has black diesel oil all over it!!
All I have done so far is sprayed the spots with a 50% Pinesol/water mix. I am afraid to rub on it and grind the spots in. DO any of you have an idea of what to use/do tonight to help make sure it will come clean???
I will call a professional cleaning company in the morning but I want to know it there is anything I can use to help the diesel oil not stain as bad tonight.
The dog was easy. I just kicked her out into the shop for tonight. She can sleep with the German Shepard watch dog. She is more safe out there anyway when the wife wakes up in the morning.
