Let it sit over night until it dries. And then wash with a LOT of water, multiple washes if needed (to get all the chemicals out). I *think* shout is a little gentler than bleach, and I find bleach takes a ton of washings to get rinsed clean. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/laundering-stains-for-sensitive-skinned-babies#post-1018408 Thu, 15 Aug 2013 08:38:43 +0000 brownie 1018408@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Sun!!! Or look at some of the cloth diaper washing posts. Lots and lots of rinses to remove the residue. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/laundering-stains-for-sensitive-skinned-babies#post-1018405 Thu, 15 Aug 2013 08:38:26 +0000 Foodnerd81 1018405@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Have you tried soaking overnight in oxi clean powder and water? It seems gentler than bleach and that worked wonders on set in formula stains on hand me downs. Then wash with regular free and clear in the morning. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/laundering-stains-for-sensitive-skinned-babies#post-1018377 Thu, 15 Aug 2013 08:34:56 +0000 mrs. wagon 1018377@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>So LMW sucks on her loveys at night to help with her teething, I believe. Her lovey (we have six of them now!) is a white dalmatian blankie with gray spots. The problem is that she always sucks on the "feet" and they end up being super brown and disgusting. I launder her clothes in Free &amp; Clear because she has eczema and sensitive skin, but I've been using Clorox color safe bleach to try and remove the staining from her chewing on the blankies. It works pretty well, but I think the Clorox is irritating her skin. She's waking up every day with red, blotchy eyes. This last time around with laundry I ran the loveys through the wash with lots of free &amp; clear after the clorox initial washing, but it still looks like it's irritating her skin.</p> <p>Any ideas on non-irritating stain removal methods? These stains are STUBBORN (still sometimes stick around after pre-treating with an oxi stick and dip/rub in clorox right before the wash). </p>
