Anyone know how to do that? My bottle of White out exploded all over my shoes, the carpet in my office, my desk, etc. How in the hell does this stuff come out? :'(
i don't think it does come out...
how did the bottle explode, were you having fun with a lighter?

Not sure what the hell happened. I use this stuff almost every day. :'(
Try nail polish remover (acetone). If that doesn't work, there's always toluene (Gum Out, the solvent in model glue).
I immediately put carpet cleaner all over the rug and its not coming out. I was thinking if I got to it before it got all hardened, it would come out.
Oh geez, its all over my face now too.
Oh god there are so many jokes out there, my head is spinning......
:flipoff
This is a major crisis right now over here. I ruined my favorite shoes.
*you all seem to forget I AM a female*
I Googled it...
QuoteWhite Out Stain Removal
Step 1.
Use WD 40 liberally on both sides of the stain. Allow the WD-40 to penetrate through the stain. The stain will begin to loosen. Test by touching the stain. Small flecks of the white out should begin to come loose. Rinse thoroughly.
Step 2.
Lay the clothing on a clean white towel. Sponge nail polish remover onto both sides of the stain. Rinse thoroughly. Repeat the application of nail polish remover and continue to rinse until the stain is removed. Rinse the stained area thoroughly.
Step 3.
Finally, to remove any hidden traces of the stain, apply a stain stick, spray, or gel to the stained area and wash normally.

Does asking about getting stains out of shoes and carpeting make your face explode? God I hate smilies.
No, attempting to get this shtein off the carpeting is making my head explode.
Thanks for playing.

A day in the life of Philly Girl.
I'm a tall, dorky looking blonde.
You figured me out. :-D
Funny how you assume that she's tall just because she isn't sitting in a high chair.

Well at least the blood and flesh will cover up the white out spots in the carpet.
Leave the white out on. That shtein is fire.
after thinking about this, i think the only solution is to cover the rest of your office in white out.
I've been told the same company that makes white-out makes a remover ???
As mentioned above - get Gum Out. Stinks like shtein, but if acetone can break it down, I'd be shocked if toluene wouldn't completely dissolve it.
Look about halfway down this page. (http://cleaning.lifetips.com/cat/7405/stain-removal-from-clothes/)
Here's the straight poop from the manufacturer. (http://www.wite-out.com/tips/)
Women and their clothes. Always with the shoes.
So the kids are calling it white out these days. Interesting.

I would not know, having never made a mistake.
PG- For the carpet: Get dish detergent (preferably Dawn), a damp cloth, a dry cloth, nail polish remover and a scrub brush.
Flake off as much of the dry stuff, with your fingernail, a fork, whatever, as you can and vacuum. Squirt just enough dish detergent to soak the spots. Don't overdo it or you'll have bubbles for days. Don't add water. Just use the detergent. Let it sit for about a half hour. Attack with scrub brush. Move in circles, up and down, switch direction on and off. After every 30 seconds or so of scrubbing, wipe and pat with damp cloth to pick up the loosened gunk.
Continue until soap and whitness is gone. If you can't get it all out, or it won't break down from that cement-like finish, use the dry cloth to absorb as much liquid as you can and pour a SMALL amount of nail polish remover on spots. Let sit no longer than 30 seconds. Scrub, scrub, scrub, while also patting it down with a very damp cloth. It will dilute it enough to keep the carpet from losing color and/or the fiber having a meltdown, yet still be strong enough to break down the Wite-Out.
That should do it.
What kind of shoes? Leather? Suede? ...
take out the nail polish remover and you're describing a much more interesting act
I was just wondering how PG was thinking that a bunch of guys would know how to get whiteout out of the carpet or a pair of shoes.
Well... GF, maybe. ;)
I don't use whiteout. I live with my writing miskates.

shtein, you're back? very anticlimactic

There goes the neighborhood.... again.....
I was doing tongue and groove in our peak and found a spider living up there the size of a cigarette pack.
Welcome back, Yeti. But you can't have BOTW back. PG has you smoked.
