There is a poosplosion bag in the laundry room right now. Just sitting there bc I don't want to deal with it. :silly: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/laundry-help-what-is-the-secret-to-getting-out-yellow-poop-stains#post-2697272 Mon, 13 Feb 2017 18:42:03 +0000 sandy 2697272@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>If you are at all interested I would say that using gdiapers really reduces the amount of blowouts. I use disposables in the early weeks and would have blowouts every now and then. Once I switch to gdiapers I don't have any. I used them with my daughter until she potty trained at 24 months and am using them with my son (almost 12 weeks). </p> <p>I use the flushable inserts (not the cloth insert) and it sits in a liner that snaps into a gpant. Bc the liner gussets at the ends where the flushable insert sits, the poo never blows out past that part. Not sure if this makes sens... bc a disposable diaper just sits flush against a baby's back there's nothing to stop a big or forceful poo and it just slides out the back of the diaper where with the gdiapers the liner stops the poo and it can't escape past the liner. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/laundry-help-what-is-the-secret-to-getting-out-yellow-poop-stains#post-2697227 Mon, 13 Feb 2017 16:55:39 +0000 mamabolt 2697227@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Oxiclean powder soak here too! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/laundry-help-what-is-the-secret-to-getting-out-yellow-poop-stains#post-2697191 Mon, 13 Feb 2017 16:12:58 +0000 gingerbebe 2697191@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I rinse in cold water and rub Fels Naptha laundry bar into the stain.

Oxi clean gets them out every time for us. I use the spray kind. It's even worked on dried stains. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/laundry-help-what-is-the-secret-to-getting-out-yellow-poop-stains#post-2697135 Mon, 13 Feb 2017 15:02:22 +0000 LindsayLou 2697135@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I always just sprayed immeadiately with spray n wash/oxiclean/bac-out. I never rinsed, it was an extra step I didn't have time for.

If it's sat at all (and dried), I also douse the area in liquid detergent right before washing. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/laundry-help-what-is-the-secret-to-getting-out-yellow-poop-stains#post-2697120 Mon, 13 Feb 2017 14:48:05 +0000 LCTBQE 2697120@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@2PeasinaPod: yep--I've had daycare declare onesies DOA before, and they're all like new.

This is embarrassing, but when my son was born I didn't realize there's a size 0 and put him in size 1 diapers. He wasn't a big baby. I did so much laundry every day. One time I had to change him, then wash every single thing I was wearing - he even got my socks and slippers...</p> <p>DD was a small baby too, but by the time she was born I'd discovered my mistake and put her in size 0. Maybe two blowouts in her entire first year. I felt so dumb about not realizing this sooner :meh: </p> <p>Also sometimes different diaper brands fit differently. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/laundry-help-what-is-the-secret-to-getting-out-yellow-poop-stains#post-2697113 Mon, 13 Feb 2017 14:39:04 +0000 2PeasinaPod 2697113@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@LCTBQE: This! I have never had a stain that oxyclean powder couldn't erase! I do exactly as you do...soak in hot water, then wash. Blowout stains have always come clean. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/laundry-help-what-is-the-secret-to-getting-out-yellow-poop-stains#post-2697107 Mon, 13 Feb 2017 14:35:00 +0000 bhbee 2697107@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've had good luck using oxiclean powder in hot water for a soak before washing. I've even found it to work if I only did oxiclean spray the first time (I find soak better than spray, but typically spray as it's so easy) and it didn't come all the way out. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/laundry-help-what-is-the-secret-to-getting-out-yellow-poop-stains#post-2697102 Mon, 13 Feb 2017 14:31:12 +0000 rattles 2697102@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Rinse immediately, spray with Oxyclean laundry spray and use a nail brush to clean. Launder as usual. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/laundry-help-what-is-the-secret-to-getting-out-yellow-poop-stains#post-2697099 Mon, 13 Feb 2017 14:27:02 +0000 krispi 2697099@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We had really good luck with the Babies R US brand stain spray. It even got paint out of one of my husband's shirts! If it was a bad blowout, I would rinse it out in the sink, spray with stain spray, and wash in the washing machine with hot water. Some bad stains required another spray and trip through the washing machine, but most of our stains came out. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/laundry-help-what-is-the-secret-to-getting-out-yellow-poop-stains#post-2697095 Mon, 13 Feb 2017 14:23:11 +0000 LCTBQE 2697095@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>oxyclean powder is a MIRACLE. I haven't tried the spray, I'm sure it's great, too. I've left *badly* blown-out clothes heaped in a plastic grocery bag for days before I got around to washing them (I know, gross) and every single article of baby clothing is 100% clean, not even a hint of stain on anything. </p> <p>I have a dedicated mixing bowl I use in the sink for this--I put the clothes in with scorching hot water and a generous amount of powder, let it soak for an hour or so, scrub the stains out, if they're still there, rub the powder directly onto the fabric, dump out the old water and do new hot water, let it sit 15 more minutes, re-scrub. it works every time and doesn't even seem to be too hard on the fabric. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/laundry-help-what-is-the-secret-to-getting-out-yellow-poop-stains#post-2697094 Mon, 13 Feb 2017 14:22:04 +0000 PawPrints 2697094@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Sun. Hands down. We do cloth diapers and the breastmilk-poop stains came out like magic every time we dried them in the sun. Don't bother with scrubbing, you don't need to put yourself through that - that's the great part about breastmilk poop, it just comes right out. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/laundry-help-what-is-the-secret-to-getting-out-yellow-poop-stains#post-2697091 Mon, 13 Feb 2017 14:18:09 +0000 Littlebit7 2697091@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>a few things that i have found that work:<br /> rinse excess poo with cold water<br /> make a paste out of warm water and oxyclean and rub it into the stain, let it sit,<br /> later if I think about it I'll soak in warm/hot water and oxyclean until I get around to doing a load of laundry</p> <p>oxiclean spray (not the stick) works well in a pinch but for serious poo I use the paste method.</p> <p>for really stubborn stains, I'll rub a fels-naptha bar on the stain and rewash. the trick is to not dry the clothes (so catch the heavy stains before you toss in the dryer) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/laundry-help-what-is-the-secret-to-getting-out-yellow-poop-stains#post-2697072 Mon, 13 Feb 2017 14:03:13 +0000 littlebug 2697072@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>BioKleen Bac-Out spray!!!! I bought it for cloth diapers, but use it on the kids' clothes, too. I spray the Bac-Out on the stain as soon as possible, then Oxyclean right before throwing it into the laundry. If that doesn't work, dry it in the sun (if feasible). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/laundry-help-what-is-the-secret-to-getting-out-yellow-poop-stains#post-2697071 Mon, 13 Feb 2017 14:03:06 +0000 skipra 2697071@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Rinse right away if possible and wash in hot water and dry in the sun, not the dryer. If you can't dry in the sun and can still see a stain, rewash it but whatever you do, don't put it in the dryer as that will set in the stain. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/laundry-help-what-is-the-secret-to-getting-out-yellow-poop-stains#post-2697068 Mon, 13 Feb 2017 13:58:56 +0000 peaches1038 2697068@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yep - the sun will bleach it out!!!!<br /> You could also try bac-out.

The yellow poop stains are pervasive and I can't get them clean. It is ruining his entire wardrobe and I'm afraid to put him in his nicer outfits. What is the secret??? If people can get red wine out of white shirts, surely someone has figured out the secret of infant poop. </p>
