Tricks for getting poop stains out of clothes?

hokiefan04

LO has had a few explosions lately and it always seems to be when he's wearing a light color (today was a brand new white onesie from Gap). Anyone have any tricks to get the yellow stains out? I use spray and wash immediately, let it soak a few minutes, then wash in warm water.

BTW, he is an EBF baby. Thanks ladies!

I've always gotten poo stains out by hanging whatever is stained out in the sun. It's by far the easiest and most reliable way to get them out. It even works on cloudy days. Other than that you could try soaking them in oxyclean for a few hours. You might want to test the color fastness before you do that though.

invest in spray oxiclean if that's not your spray and wash. rinse first, then spray on the oxiclean. let it sit for like 5-10 minutes and then i usuallly will scrub wash it immediately with clothes detergent to get the stain all the way out and then will put it in the washer later.

i suggest using cold water. i always thought that warm/hot water would set the stain. the steps i posted above have cleaned all white clothes. DD is EBF'ed as well. her poo is thick/creamy & mustard colored.

I just rinse the clothes, then toss them in a bucket of hot water and a scoop of oxy clean. I usually let them soak overnight but it depends when I next do laundry. This has worked every single time for me, no spray and wash or scrubbing needed.

I thought this too, but the Spray n Wash bottle says to use the hottest water possible. Very odd...I'm going to try the hang outside route and get some OxyClean. Thanks ladies!

I've had success using spray n wash (now called Resolve I believe). I get the stain wet, then spray on the spray n wash, and then rub the fabric together under the faucet until the stain is gone. For tough stains, I have to reapply the spray n wash. But I've always been able to get the stain out within a few minutes rubbing (before putting it in the laundry).

I use oxyclean...
