I was leaving work and started to drive. I heard liquid sloshing and thought it was weird and then the smell of alcohol hit me. I remembered that there had been wine in my car. I stopped and looked in my back seat, and the bottle of wine had gotten too hot, blew the cork out of the bottle, and proceeded to spill all over my backseat.
There was maybe 1/3 of a bottle left (which got poured out in the parking lot) and the rest was marinating in the backseat of my car. Luckily, I had three part rolls of paper towels in my car, so I immediately started trying to soak up as much wine as I could. My car reeks of alcohol and every time I drive I am hoping I don't get pulled over.
Red wine paper towels anyone?
I am still getting red wine to soak up in paper towels two days later, but so far it doesn't look like it is staining too badly. It is such a mess, but hopefully I will get it all soaked up and my car won't smell like a frat house anymore (the combo of horse and wine is awful).
oh no! try soda water -that works on red wine in clothes.
ReplyDeleteI'm planning on doing some assessing this weekend to see if it actually stained or if I managed to get everything out.
DeleteYeeeaaaaahhhh. Sounds about right.
ReplyDeleteI'm super smart sometimes 🙄
DeleteTime for a wash and detail? Take it to someplace that can clean out the inside?
ReplyDeleteMaybe. I'm hoping I don't have to do that because moving is expensive and I'm going to have to get new tires before I leave.
DeleteThere is this hand help carpet cleaner/vacuum that I cart around for work (you know, like when a client forgets to tell me their dog gets car sick). It's PERFECT for that and I think it was like... $30-40. Wal-Mart? Target? Or treat yourself to a detail 😜
ReplyDeleteI'll look for that. It sounds more reasonable than detailing.
DeleteUgh.. I spilled homemade simple syrup in the back of my car, its never been the same.
