fredk Report post Posted May 15, 2023 Quick - get more dye, pour over the rest of the floor and clean up in the same way - you're redecorating and starting with the floor! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Dwight Report post Posted May 15, 2023 I would probably leave a note on the kitchen stove "Be back soon" . . . go to the lumber yard . . . buy replacement flooring . . . and get on the phone finding someone to replace it . . . or get the chop saw and saw horses out. That would be my plan . . . although you might try some gasoline . . . a very little bit of it . . . but it might do the trick. May God bless, Dwight Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Littlef Report post Posted May 15, 2023 oh wow, that's horrible. There's probably no fixing that without just power sanding the whole room. I accidentally sloshed some vinegaroon on the carpet over the weekend. I instantly dumped a box of banking soda on it. Thankfully the carpet must be all man made fibers, cause it didn't turn it black. I certainly had a few minutes of panic hoping it doesn't turn black.

SUP Report post Posted May 15, 2023 It cannot be undone. A hug. kiss, apology and offer to do whatever she wants to remedy the matter... You realize it is possible she might want to change all the flooring and this will be the perfect chance? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Frodo Report post Posted May 15, 2023 @SUP You nailed the reaction TowMbO (The one that MUST be Obeyed) has said a new Floor will be installed Rolled her eyes and asked what was I thinking? Then asked don’t you have a tarp? Or a large tote? Other words were said that I tuned out I will be sleeping on the rug with the dog for awhile Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

YinTx Report post Posted May 16, 2023 2 hours ago, Dwight said: I thought it would work Looks like a significant amount of finish on that wood if it isn't coated in a layer of plastic. Dead OP's murder scene with the blackened scissors weapon onsite appears to be unfinished or minimally finished wood, which would absorb stuff nicely. Although if he is still on this side of the daisies, he should be tempted to try your solution anyhow! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Handstitched Report post Posted May 16, 2023 @Frodo you have a lot of sucking up to do my friend, and not just the mess . Flowers, chocolates, an expensive dinner and wine at a fancy restaurant ... a new car perhaps ?? ......or maybe put those cooking skills to good use as you'll be living outdoors for a while... LOL !!!! I think I can safely say on behalf of all of us on here, ' we're thinking of you ' HS Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sheilajeanne Report post Posted May 16, 2023 Fortunately for me, the one time I did a major dye spill, I had a roll of paper towels and a bottle of methyl alcohol handy. The two of them together did a really good job of cleaning up the spill before it soaked in. And fortunately, most of it was on the cutting mat. Even more fortunate - the floor was ceramic tile! It also missed the project I'd been wanting to touch up! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SUP Report post Posted May 16, 2023 Tarps! Already ordered some huge ones that will cover my work area, floor included. The advantages of being a newbie with oldies' (only in terms of experience, no age-related offence intended; besides, I'm old!) experiences to read about is invaluable. Thank you all!
