Spilled sour old milk (damn you messy room mate, who doesn't empty milk cartons before throwing…read morethem away!), whilst kindly taking out the thrash, all over a wool and leather coat. Solution? Getting it dry cleaned at the nearest possible place.
Seemed like I had a very special coat that needed very special attention to be cleaned properly (have later lost all patience and ability to get it dry-cleaned again and washed and shrunk it in the machine at home), so the nice lady at the dry-cleaners told me they had to send it away to a special place. I thought I was already at that special place, but didn't argue. I was told to come get my coat in three weeks (!). This seemed excessive to me, but was ok.
When I came to get my coat after three weeks, I had lost my ticket (I'm a mess) and they couldn't find the coat. I was told to look for it myself in-between a thousand other coats, which was kind of a mess too, but at least I got to try the thing you put your foot on that makes the coats spin on a merry-go-round like thing. Kinda fun. Anyway, they were closing and I was told to come back.
Having lost all hope of ever getting my coat back, they had luckily found it when I returned the next day. It was clean, but the leathery parts were very stiff. An ok result, I guess. The price was a bit steep, at 350-something DKK, so I might try a different dry-cleaner the next time I spill something... But then again, my coat is very special.
