[USA] I'm glad you're smart enough to realize there is nothing you can do. No matter what happens, it's the husband's fault. I hope you have the courage to "take it like a man." Best wishes. [:(] Edited to add: The "[b]that she has wanted for 5 years[/b]" = you're dead. [xx(] |

Rent a carpet steamer.
Instead of soap, mix in SPRAY AND WASH GEL BLEACH. (Powerful stuff that won't leave a bleach-yellow color...) Steam the whole couch, making the whole thing the same color. The logic: It's already f-ed up. Go big or go home! You have a chance to make it all the same color. She'll notice. DO NOT try to play it off! Just tell her the kids spilled stuff on the couch, and you cleaned it. Might want to "febreeze" the whole thing afterwards so it doesn't smell like bleach! |

1. Trip the breaker to that room.
2. When she discovers the light not working, tell her something about how good she looks and how bad you need her right now. 3. When you have her on the sofa and your doing the deed spooge all over the sofa and beg forgiveness. 4. Hope that you carried out #3 good enough to make her not care hope that she doesn't notice how it left a discolored place on her trophy sofa. 5. See a lawyer before shee does. Good luck. |

Spray bleach the whole couch [;)] then she might not notice. Then insist,"Honey are you OK? The couch has always been this color."

Ok, after thinking about this, here's what you do:
Sit on the couch, right on the spot. DO NOT MOVE. EVER. If you move, you'll be sleeping there anyway. |

I could take the punishment like a man. Afterall, after 14+ years with my wife, I have taken a few licks before. But this situation is far more serious than any recent ones I can remember. I am thinking FIRE. If I set it up to look like a gang kicked in the front door and burned the couch down........you know, while we were at the park or something.....

1-Drive to the bad part of town
2-when druggie scum tries to car jack you, pepper spray him and toss him the trunk 3-Take him home and have him sit on the part of the couch with the stain and ask him to hold a butcher knife 4-Unload shotgun with buckshot into him 5-Tell wife "Sorry 'bout the stain but this crazed freak broke into the house and I had to shoot him to protect the little ones." I know it's harsh, but it's your life or his!! |

Your ass is salvageable, as is your couch. Since this is a brand-new piece, the upholstery fabric should still be available. You will have to have a new cover made. This will NOT happen before Mrs. Dave223 comes home, but should not be a huge deal.
If something like this happened at my place while I was gone, I'd use the M1 on my spouse - not because of the stain to the couch, but BECAUSE THE 3-YEAR-OLD GOT HOLD OF THE CLEANER WITH BLEACH! Good luck, and put those cleaners out of the reach of children. I do like a previous posters "spooge camo" idea. Has a certain flair to it. Pecker tracks conceal all. |

Man, I feel for you.
Years ago, my 3 YO did a similar act with a jar of vaseline. It's suprising how much surface area a jar of vaseline will cover. Wifey was upset for a few hours. Unfortunately, it gave her an excuse to have the sofa reupholstered. We still have a good laugh at the expense of my now 17 YO daughter. |

By the way, is it possible to go back to the plae you bought the sofa, and buy (at a hugely increased "emergency" price) another cushion? Oh, man, you're gonna hurt. |

Question comes to mind here, did you pay for the couch or did she? The best defense is a good offense. As soon as she comes in, start screaming, "Look what the kids did to my new couch". That will throw her all off.

I saw a few options in this thread, some of which can be combined.
1) Return to store to [s]bribe[/s] purchase another cover. 2) Clorox the whole damn thing.(I have 4 sisters, women can notice very small shade differences, I personally like this option, but she [b]will[/b] notice.) 3) Deny & make counter accusations- Why didnt she make sure neither kid could get to such dangerous stuff? 4) Give your soul to the Creator, cuz your ass is hers. |

The note from the kids will go a long way toward her forgiveness.
All 3 of you should be balling your eyes out when she gets home. Make a much bigger deal of it than she would and she MIGHT just say, "don't worry, it'll be all right." Nah, you are all screwed. |

Go out right now and Buy the book "the G-Spot". Do the thing about the circuit breaker, but this time the mess will be hers not yours, AND she won't give a damn about no ding dang ol' couch. Oh, better send the kids off to friends houses first, she could get a little loud before SHE ruins her couch like that.
Or blame it on anarchist G-8 hippie protestors. But if she does kill you, we're splittin your gear as punishment to the kids, on your posthumous behalf of course. |

THINK LIKE A WOMAN, DAMMIT! GET AHOLD OF YOURSELF AND THINK LIKE A WOMAN!!!
No matter how hard you have to twist the facts, find some way to blame it on HER instead of YOU. For example: "If you hadn't picked out this couch and we had kept the old one, this never would have happened." Women have been doing this for eons. It's time we all learned how too! [;D] |

Check and see if you have a 'Furniture Medic' in your city. They repair furniture for cheap. Also, I'm with the other guys. New seat cushion and it's good as new. You may be able to get one from the manufacturer for relatively cheap (check the tags for info on who to contact and try the store). Remember the Alamo, and God Bless Texas... |

keep yer shirt on. From the pic it looks like only the cushion got fubar'd. Go to where you bought it and see if you can either get another cushion or have it recovered. You're still gonna catch hell, but maybe you can get out of this a whole lot easier than it looks......

Did you buy the 20.00 40.00 scotch guard stain treatment when you bought the couch ? if so you are covered. Think hard sometimes they just slip it in and you dont even notice.
Just call the store and inform them. They will fix it. If not call the store and get the person they use for repairs and get an est. |

Trying to conceal the problem is a mistake...this sort of stink doesn't fade with age, it just gets worse and worse. So tell her right away and tell her when the new cushion or cushion cover is expected in. Make certain she knows you have no expectation that the couch will remain so damaged and that you have the solution already in process.
It'll be fine. Just be honest and get it fixed. |

The warr. comapny didnt care what kind of stain it was. They sent someone out to clean it. I had to call again and let them know it didnt work. They sent someone out to repair it. It still didnt look right. They replace the whole cushion , it was not a removable type cushion. I was happy and the wife was most pleased [:d] CALLL TTHHHHEEEE SSSTTOOORRREEE |
