Can you hand wash them with some kind of grease remover? Goop brand works well on clothes. Maybe you can save them.

MaineGirl - That's so sad!!! Were they insured? Dawn dishwashing soap is mild and a degreaser, it may work for cleaning your blocks up. I'm so sorry that happened to you!!

I tried dawn dish soap and let them air dry, it removed some, but not a whole lot :( . I will try goop next...they are fraying like crazy! ugh!

No I didn't think to insure them. Stupid me :( :( :(

Insurance would've only covered expenses, not heart break so don't kick yourself over not insuring them.

Anyone know what I can do about this? I am SOOOOOO upset! :cry:

I have had a few people contact me saying they are willing to have one of their blocks sent to Mainegirl76. So far we have 4 blocks that will be heading her way. If anyone would like to share one of their blocks with Mainegirl, please pm me.

Thanks for being such WONDERFUL friends!
