So, I normally keep Boxer on my bed most of the time, as moving her around constantly can be a bit of a hassle. Plus, as some may know, my apartment is small, so not a lot of room to stand her up somewhere without someone seeing her or accidentally knocking her over. I do take care in keeping a blanket under her and making sure she’s cushioned, but it looks like she still tries to leak oil onto my bed every now and then. Her old model leaked severely, to where one duvet of mine has some bad oil stains on it. Her current model isn’t too bad and is actually pretty good at retaining its oil, but I’m worried that the leaking will happen again and I’ll be left with more oil stains… Which are a pain in the ass to get out. 🤦♀️
Any advice on how I can prevent future oil stains? Should I put a thicker blanket under her? And to those who’ve encountered mineral stains on sheets or even clothes, how did y’all get them out? My grandma would be pretty upset if she found out that the quilt she gave me is riddled with mineral oil stains, so I’m trying to spare it while I still can. 😅
I just lay My Girls on the Fleece Blanket, that I have folded in half, essentially providing a double layer of protection… I‘ve had no Stains, by doing this…
Tide Detergent, along with Shout Pretreatment, has worked well, for me…
I just use sheets that I don't mind getting stained a little lol. I'm too lazy to care. That reminds me... I should probably get new sheets! 😂 😅
The oil leak is common. My trick is to strip my girls down every 3 to 4 days and cover them in baby powder then using a paint brush I spread the powder. I do this twice a day for 2 days then dress them again. After about a year they won't leak as much but I still powder them regularly.
