Best stain remover for clothing? Dd has had a gazillion blowouts and DS get food stains on his clothing. Grrrr!!!
-
I use Oxiclean on everything.
-
I like Oxy Clean but there might be better ones. For set in stains I soak in the powder (like, yellow stains around the neck of clothes saved from the older baby). For food or poop I just use the spray before washing and it gets almost everything.
-
@Foodnerd81: I've been using oxy spray and still stains! Boo!!!
-
Zout literally gets everything out
-
I use spray shout. Or a stain stick. Both work well for me.
-
I make a paste out of oxy clean and let it sit for an hour-overnight and it's gotten everything out.
-
@matador84: do you let it sit for a while? It works great on all LO's stains...
-
@matador84: do you let it sit and rub it in? I swear by oxyclean. It's the only reason our white clothes are white.
For really bad stains, I have to something rewash the clothes. I make sure to spray oxyclean on it again too
-
The sun has been amazing. We had a stain that oxy clean wouldn't take out but the sun did. Also great for organica like poop.
-
Oxy clean gel stick. It's better than the spray.
-
I swear by fels naptha, especially for greasy stuff. But my LO isn't here yet so I haven't gotten the opportunity to try it on stains like you mentioned.
-
@Bao: @Mrs. Jump Rope: yes. Always. Usually because I can't do laundry fast enough, ha! Darn!
Maybe I'll try the stick!
-
We use Babyganics!
-
I second the sun for poop. I haven't had as much luck with food stains. DD has been on solids a month and already half of her clothes are stained!
-
I find that immediate treating really fixes everything. Whenever we have a blowout or his dumb fluoride with iron vitamin that smells like toxic death and stains gets on anything, I immediately bring it to the sink and use high pressure water. For the biggest vitamin spit out I used some dish soap and rubbed it a bit with my hand and it all came out (I don't rub poop though gross). It only takes a few minutes and has been very sanity saving!
-
I make a paste with oxyclean and honest co stain remover. Best at getting breastmilk poop stains out.
-
Oxyclean and Buncha Stain sticks.
-
For really, really bad stains, I used Crud Cutter (actually, I think it's Krud Kutter) but I buy it at Home Depot. It gets everything out. I'll also add Borax in (it's a powder, in a box, I buy it at Target). It's natural so I feel better about it.
-
@Mrs Spoon: how do you make the paste? I tried doing this and it just turns into a watery, grainy mess and when I try to scrub it in with a toothbrush it just rolls off in little sandy balls.
I just started using the oxiclean powder in addition to the stain stick and it's been working great. I fill a little tub with a scoop and mix with HOT water, then soak overnight. Then I put a scoop in with the laundry and use vinegar in the softener compartment to remove the residue. It has been working so great that I really regret waiting til now..! I've thrown away so many stained clothes
If I can't do a soak right away (I only do soaks the night before laundry nights) I use the stain stick, then do the soak when the day comes.
-
We use Babyganics stain remover for most stains and it really works great. For super tough stains we use Oxyclean.
-
@mrs. wagon: I just spray the stain, carefully sprinkle the oxyclean and then respray. Sometimes I rub it in a bit with my fingers. It definitely can be messy! I do it over a sink and once I've made a little paste on the garment I roll it up and put it in a bucket I have to wait for next load. I try to let it sit at least 30 minutes.
