Black Water Mank (by sarah)
Sigh - I think I've killed the highchair.
Today I was moving the highchair into the kitchen for cleaning - I dont normal move it as its quiet heavy, I sort of accidently tipped it on its side and black water ran out of the metal pipes that serve as frame and legs.
It went everywhere, over the carpet, over the settee, over our guests beding, over the bottom half of the bookcase, over Jeans bouncer and small teddy, and over me!
I was not happy - now me and Sasha are faced with about four loads of washing - we are hoping the black comes out, and the prospect of having to carpet clean the hold of the living room and kitchen where it sits oozing 'rust water'.
We think that maybe water has been getting in when I've been cleaning it or something and has been sitting in the tubes rusting 🙁 Also I broke the strap yesturday - one of the prongs just snaped off whilst I was strapping Jean in and I noticed that the plastic material that covers the seat is starting to crack revieling the foam undernieth. I'm wondering if it is just its time to die or weather I used too harsh cleaning chemicals for the plastic or something?
I think it is definatly on its last legs though 🙁
