Seriously, who would have thought?? Seeing as how it's made with fish oil...I might worry about oil stains...but I guess I would rather have an oil stain than nail polish, crayon, and marker stains!

I was once told, "All you need in life is duct tape and WD-40. If something's moving and it shouldn't, use the duct tape. If something isn't moving, and it should, use the WD-40."

I never would have thought. Thanks for that. This is something I might consider bookmarking for future reference.

I just used WD-40 last week to remove crayon writing on the carpet! It totally worked and there was no stain! Sure you have to put up with the smell for a little bit, but it goes away quickly!
