Help.. washing poop off clothes

azaretsky

Does anyone have any tips for getting baby poop off of their clothing? Sometimes it leakes through the diaper and then I might as well throw away the clothes instead of washing it, since I'm not able to get the yellow stains off... I soak in water (I don't let it dry out) and spray Shout stain remover on, but still no luck. Any advice?

I try to throw it in the washing machine as quickly as possible and throw some extra detergent right on the poop stains.  That has really helped the past couple times.  I also always have a plain onesie on him so that takes the most of it and the cute outfit only ends up with a little if any at all.

If you use a stain remover like Shout (they have some for babies) it'll come right out!!

Oops...I guess I should have read the entire post.

i spray them off in the shower and use vanish for whites. i dont know if it makes a difference but i also use cold water in the machine for everything. i have shout spray if i think i will not have time to wash then that day.

And all of the stuff comes off without leaving stains? I'm thinking maybe it's my washer - it's not the newest. I seem to be doing the same things you guys are.

Greased Lightening spray and then soak it in water w/ the laundry detergent.  Comes out clean!  Or I just spray it w/ Shout Spray n Wash and let it sit for at least an hour; that works as well. After both methods I still wash in the washer.  GL!

after you rinse them, you can lay them out in the sun while the clothing is still wet. i've done this a few times and the stains are barely visible.

We get poop on clothes every day, she is an explosive pooper! I just soak in cold water and then wash the stuff by hand in the sink and it usually all comes off. If there is still any left, I dry it in the sun and the sun bleaches it out.

Thanks so much everyone for advice! I'll try the Grease Lightening spray and the sun ideas next time (hopefully it'll be sunny )

I had some serious poop stains on a lot of things and used oxyclean--I let it all sit out for about an hour before washing and every bit of it came out.

I just put in the washer immediately w/ no stain treatment and have no problem getting the stains out. If I wasn't able to wash right away or scrounge up enough other stuff to go in, I would pre-treat the stain and put in ASAP.

i keep stain remover gel next to the diaper changing table and put it on right away - i've used the mrs meyers baby line - and it comes right out in the wash a few days later even...

Oxy Clean!  Pour it directly on the stain and wash.  If the stain is still there you can try it again.
