You Can Cringe (I did).

This is the perpetrator:

This is the person to blame:








This spot is intentionally left blank because no one in my house (*cough* *cough*) would be so dumb as to put a bottle of that on a wood table.

This is the resulting offense:

When it was noticed, the reaction was definitely a loud, "EEK! (or something like that)".

Then the panic set in and I (er, um, I mean the person responsible) grabbed the first thing that come to mind...an SOS pad.

Panic does strange things to people I tell ya!

It looked fine wet, but when it dried there were still stains from the De-Icer on the table.
So...I did it again.

And it came out almost perfect.  You have to look pretty hard to see the marks now.  Even those fingerprint-looking marks on the right came out almost invisible once it was all said and done.

And I breathed a big sigh of relief.
Thank goodness it all worked out.  Thursday disaster diverted. ;)

How about you?  Have you ever accidentally stained something that just left you flabbergasted?

If so, did you panic and reach for the first thing that came to mind, or take it easy and use your rationale to try and remove the stain?

Inquiring minds want to know (I didn't say 'Enquiring' so it's not a copyright infringement, right? :) ).
