TTMA: Stain Removal

[ars093s]

What do you use to get stains out of your LO's clothing?

Grandma's Secret Spot Remover was recommended to me and just failed miserably on a onesie that was victim to a diaper blowout.

Anyone have a magic product they'd like to share with the board?

I just use spray n wash but we haven't been through any massive blowout yet so IDK how it'll work in that situation.

Baby oxyclean.

I've heard of hydrogen peroxide for pretreatment and blowout removal, but haven't tried it myself.

I didn't know they made this!

It's awesome. It's a powder that you mix with water and let it soak before you wash it. Works better than anything else I've I tried and it's "gentle" too.

Spray and wash. We've had several blowouts and this has always worked. I spray ensuring that needs it, let it sit while I do another load, then spray again and wash on warm with a soak.

Soak in oxyclean and hot water for a few hours then wash. Usually works pretty well

I've gotten really bad blowout stains by simply soaking in a sink with detergent scrubbed into the stain (make sure all poop is rinsed off) then washing on warm and then drying in the sun. Repeat if necessary. I've heard bm stains are easier to get out than formula.

I do this but with regular oxiclean

We use Palmolive dish soap with oxiclean. I rub it on with cold water and wash immediately. When possible, I also dry in the sun. Works pretty well on our blowouts!

I put E's cloth diapers in the sun and within an hour, poop stains are gone. Not sure if it would fade the clothes, shouldn't fade much if you only lay it out for a bit.

Oxyclean and spray n wash.

Can I ask what the acronym TTMA stands for ::bashful::

My best guess is "talk to me about".

[packmomma]

We also hang ours in the window where we get a lot of light. I tried it because of uncooperative weather and it totally worked.

Pre wash with dish soap and cold water then wash like normal and put in the sun after drying in dryer. Doesn't fade colored clothes.

Hmm good theory! I'll take it!

Correct!

Thanks for all the suggestions! I'm currently pretreating with dish soap while waiting for Amazon to deliver my oxiclean this afternoon...then I plan to dry in the sun if the spots are still there.
