Drool
This is one of those slightly embarrassing things that I don't really want to ask my American colleagues, so I thought I'd post about this here in (relative) anonymity.
I took a red-eye flight from Seattle back to DC a couple of days ago, and didn't remove my blazer for the flight. The good news is that I slept very well, but the bad news is that I slept so well that I drooled all over my blazer (I must've been a heck of a sight to my fellow passengers!). Now I'm having quite a lot of trouble removing the stain. I was wondering if anyone had any helpful hints to solve my problem?

I have dryel which is an at home dry cleaning kit (it's a bag which you put your clothes and their sheet into a dryer) it also comes with a solution (spot cleaning) it is far more gentle than a dry cleaners and I use it for in between cleaning.
But maybe you just have to bite the bullet and get it spot cleaned at a dry-cleaners (if you tell them it was your baby it won't be as embarrassing )

Try the new Tide stick. It's like a felt tip pen and is excellent...I bought one for hubby to keep in his briefcase. It works on silk ties so it should be OK for your blazer.

My husband swears by it.

You must use it immediately though and I have had some success but you can't suddenly use it on old stains - don't know why I never discover these stains in the house - just out and about so can't really blame it as it does say only use on fresh stains.

Maybe you bought a dud one.

I still would recommend them to anyone especially as they are only about $3 - especially to men as silk ties are a nightmare to clean. And they do take out the basic stains and for me (who seems to have weird stains )it does take out most of it at least.

Re: Drool
Had to laugh...bought back a memory.
My best mate, my older bother and I flying back from a holiday in Greece.
This hot chick is handing out the refreshments, I look over and there is my brother fast asleep with non-stop drool hanging out his mouth.
The young stewardess woke him up and he's sat there with a huge puddle stain on his shirt...he was so embarrassed, he wanted to jump out of the plane there and then
