Oil!
Here he is, happy as a peach about it. This was after trying to get it off with a rag and water. It was getting everywhere!
I quickly googled how to get oil off your skin and I found olive oil was suggested.
I then slathered him with olive oil and it came off like a charm. I rinsed him with water and vinegar to get the remaining oil off his skin, and voila! Poor babe, but he was probably thinking, "Hey, at least I got a bath out of the deal!"
Happy as can be eating his favorite muffin. He was in a clean state for all about 10 minutes. At least mud isn't toxic. :)
Have a blessed day!

Was this motor oil he got into? Yikes! I'll file the olive oil remedy in my head in case this ever happens to one of my brood.
ReplyDeleteIt was some sort of oil remnants near the furnace in the basement. Not sure why it was there - (gotta ask the landlord about that!) but it was a tiny scare. Thankfully nothing bigger!
ReplyDeleteSarah! Hey it's Jamie from Crossroads!! Craziest thing ever - I'm in a facebook / twitter group called #CathSorority and one of the ladies posted a link to your blog saying her friend Sarah D--- has a blog and to check it out. So I commented hey I know a Sarah D--- wonder if its the same one and sure enough it's YOU!!! HEY!!!!! I have a blog too! In fact, this year, I'm recounting our Crossroads story (in the context that its how I met Calvin but I'm including a lot more... like a saga!)
