Sigh. Best way to get a melted Cadbury Creme Egg out of car upholstery? |
|
I tried scraping and wiping. Didn't work.
Carpet cleaner?

It's really the only option.
Get a work truck with vinyl seats and a plastic floor covering you can hose down. It's the only appropriate way to travel with a 3-year-old.

5. This was actually the fault of the 30-year-old. (Me.) |

There was one in my purse when I left in the morning yesterday. There was not one my purse when I got home in the evening yesterday.

It won't be the prettiest way, but you didn't really define "best," did you?
Mmmm. Creme egg.

I use it whenever I'm stumped and it works on a lot of different things. Plus, it's good for greasy stains, which that candy would definitely be. Good luck.

7. Put an ice cube on it for a minute or so and then try and scrape it off. |
|
I did this just yesterday with a wayward "Peep"...Ahhhhh, sweet memories of Easter past us. ;)

8. Maybe sprinkle some baking soda on it. |
|
Let it sit until it absorbs the liquid-y stuff and then brush off. Any stains after that apply lemon juice and wipe off.
Otherwise, maybe freeze it w/ some ice and pull it off.

Try putting ice or ice water water on it to get it to harden and then pick it out maybe? That would do for the chocolate but the yolk part is gonna need a shampoo. If regular carpet shampoo doesn't work a stain remover like Shout should. Might need to go over it more than once though.
Good luck...

http://www.zinsser.com/product_detail.asp?ProductID=17This stuff works great on car upholstery and carpets. It will even remove gum. It's an enzyme remover so it won't harm the upholstry. And it's cheap.
