I did 2 rounds of overnight soaks and sun drying. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/yellow-stains-on-baby-clothes#post-2741240 Sun, 28 May 2017 19:12:17 +0000 winniebee 2741240@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>So it pretty much worked! Some stains came clearer than others (but had been in there 5 years!). 5 hour oxi soak and sunshine </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/yellow-stains-on-baby-clothes#post-2741232 Sun, 28 May 2017 18:16:00 +0000 pastemoo 2741232@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My friend told me 1/2 blue dawn and 1/2 hydrogen peroxide. Rub that on the stained part, then do your regular wash. She did this to a onesie I lent her that had a stain and it worked for her. It doesn't work for me.... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/yellow-stains-on-baby-clothes#post-2741198 Sun, 28 May 2017 13:15:46 +0000 winniebee 2741198@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>5 hours of OXY alone didn't work so I put them out to dry in the sun. And then it immediately clouded up outside. UGH! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/yellow-stains-on-baby-clothes#post-2741188 Sun, 28 May 2017 11:59:20 +0000 Littlebit7 2741188@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>if you try all of those things and no dice( sometimes an oxi soak doesn't do it for me) two more things to try.<br /> oxi paste made with a little water, oxi, and blue dawn right on the spots<br /> if that doesn't work, try a fels naptha bar </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/yellow-stains-on-baby-clothes#post-2741181 Sun, 28 May 2017 11:26:52 +0000 Foodnerd81 2741181@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had that on a bunch of hand me downs, all around the necks. I soaked for several hours in oxyclean then washed it with detergent like normal. Probably put most stuff in the dryer since we didn't have anywhere outside to dry. Got almost everything out! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/yellow-stains-on-baby-clothes#post-2741176 Sun, 28 May 2017 10:34:22 +0000 Mrs. Microscope 2741176@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I use the peroxide/dish soap trick, then hot water and oxi clean, then laundry cycle. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/yellow-stains-on-baby-clothes#post-2741166 Sun, 28 May 2017 09:13:11 +0000 bhbee 2741166@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p><a href="https://www.amazon.com/Retro-Clean-18253-Bag-1-Pound/dp/B006UD2298" rel="nofollow">https://www.amazon.com/Retro-Clean-18253-Bag-1-Pound/dp/B006UD2298</a></p> <p>This stuff works well on those stains (with the sun dry too). We used them on nice family baby clothes from the 1940s even! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/yellow-stains-on-baby-clothes#post-2741164 Sun, 28 May 2017 09:03:45 +0000 peachykeen 2741164@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@winniebee: I did wash them first. I can't remember whether I soaked them in oxi only or oxy + detergent, but I think the most effective part was the sun anyway. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/yellow-stains-on-baby-clothes#post-2741160 Sun, 28 May 2017 08:45:23 +0000 ShootingStar 2741160@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yeah, that happens from baby spit up. We had a ton of things with yellow stains. I think most washed right out, except some bad ones on plain white onesies and we didn't try too hard with those. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/yellow-stains-on-baby-clothes#post-2741159 Sun, 28 May 2017 08:31:27 +0000 Canoli 2741159@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have successfully gotten yellow stains out. I think @mrs.bee did a blog post about this that I got the directions from. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/yellow-stains-on-baby-clothes#post-2741158 Sun, 28 May 2017 08:27:57 +0000 PinkElephant 2741158@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>A soak in oxi and hot water, then a regular wash cycle with detergent took care of the yellow spots for me. No sun needed! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/yellow-stains-on-baby-clothes#post-2741157 Sun, 28 May 2017 08:18:13 +0000 Maysprout 2741157@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>If the sun and oxiclean don't work try a little hydrogen peroxide with a squirt of blue dawn. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/yellow-stains-on-baby-clothes#post-2741154 Sun, 28 May 2017 08:03:55 +0000 winniebee 2741154@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@peachykeen: Did you wash them in detergent after the oxi soak or just put them straight in the sun? When you removed from water were they still yellow or had the stains mostly cleared? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/yellow-stains-on-baby-clothes#post-2741153 Sun, 28 May 2017 08:03:26 +0000 MrsF 2741153@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@winniebee: I'm not going to say that this is funny, exactly, but coincidentally - I'm soaking a bunch of yellow stained baby outfits and the cushion part of the baby swing (super yellow :bummed: ) in oxi clean as we speak. We'll see how it goes! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/yellow-stains-on-baby-clothes#post-2741152 Sun, 28 May 2017 08:03:17 +0000 winniebee 2741152@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@bookwormmama: I read 2-3 scoops per gallon of water. I'm definitely being cautious and I filled the washer to soak level (which I'm guessing is 5 gallons) and put in 2 scoops. It's been soaking an hour. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/yellow-stains-on-baby-clothes#post-2741151 Sun, 28 May 2017 07:57:02 +0000 bookwormmama 2741151@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@winniebee: how are you soaking them in oxi clean? Is there a certain ratio? I just pulled out some sleepers from DS and they also have yellow stains I need to try to get out! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/yellow-stains-on-baby-clothes#post-2741147 Sun, 28 May 2017 07:43:32 +0000 peachykeen 2741147@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>That's exactly what worked for me a few months ago - the sun took out anything that didn't come out in the wash. Make sure they're still pretty wet when putting in the sun. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/yellow-stains-on-baby-clothes#post-2741145 Sun, 28 May 2017 07:38:43 +0000 winniebee 2741145@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>At least a dozen nice outfits from DS1/DS2 are stained yellow. I'm currently soaking them in OXI clean and then will dry in the sun. Has this worked in getting out stains for anyone? Has anything else worked instead? I don't mind tossing onesies but there are a handful of Janie and Jack outfits and I'm going to be so annoyed if the stains don't come out! </p>
