Can this be washed? Ginger Ale was spilled on it and it became very saturated.
It's double-sided. Easter/bunny side is Aida cloth, Christmas side is a stiff, sparkly felt. The middle is lined with a soft felt. I can provide links to the felt from Michael's.
It was nearly finished, I was just trying to crochet a frame to hang it in. 😭
TLDR: It's been a horrible month of several illnesses, but what I thought was an unprecedented IBS episode ended up being C. Difficile, despite my OCD hygiene rituals, unless this is something I've had for years and this month was a perfect storm of illness. Starting to feel better even before starting antibiotics yesterday, but contamination OCD has me livid and I'm freaking out. What do we do to take care of this? We already bought bleach spray and started bleaching in the bathroom after every bowel movement. Are there any other steps to take? I'm scared my craft supplies are contaminated and can't help but ruminate on the contact points throughout the house. Plus we have dogs and I'm worried about them.

Hi. I just was diagnosed with C. Difficile. I have contamination OCD/germaphobia. It's very crippling. Needless to say, I'm majorly struggling. I'm panic looking at UV sanitizers and steam cleaners. We started using bleach spray in the bathroom. What else should we do? Any other steps to take? I'm just at a loss as to how this could happen as I'm very meticulous with hygiene.
On the other hand, I'm somewhat hoping this explains the IBS symptoms I've had for years. I thought this illness was an unprecedented, weeks long IBS episode, as did my gastroenterologist, until the testing came back positive. My partner had symptoms first (he's submitting testing today to make sure it's C. Diff), but he had his own separate, recurring, stomach issues, so we both didn't think too much about the symptoms for either of us. Is it possible I've had this for years or does it seem like my partner and I had a recent exposure? It's just been a horrible month. TMI details to follow:
>!This recent onset of symptoms started with my period during the first week of the April. I had unprecedented stomach issues/diarrhea, but I assumed it was my irregular cycles being chaotic & IBS. Allergies hit me like a brick wall at the end of my cycle, which manifested into a sinus infection that ended about a week ago. All the while, I was still having diarrhea, which finally seems to have stopped right before I started antibiotics yesterday. Overall, even before antibiotics, I was finally feeling better, though I'm not sure why. It's very confusing. !<
Thank you so much for reading. All advice is welcome. 😵😵💫😵😵💫
