stained clothes?

I was just sorting through DDs baby clothes and tons of them are stained. Is there anything I can do with them? I know Goodwill just tosses stained stuff. I hate to just throw them out or turn them into rags. I don't quilt so that idea is out!

Re: stained clothes?

  • try to put them in the sun, I know it worsk for fresh poop stains, the sun gets rid of the billurubin, which is what gives poop its brown color

    if not - use as rags?

  • I don't think they're coming out, I boxed most of this stuff up 3 years ago!

  • My sister is amazing at getting stains out and this is what she passed on to me and I have used it successfully.  Have you tried this stuff?

    Let it sit overnight, even if it dries, spray it again the next day and then wash in hot water.  Sometimes I have to repeat this 2 or 3 times but more comes out each time.

     Also if the clothes are white you can try the clorox pen.  This has saved many of our baby clothes from a variety of set in stains - formula, chocolate, unknown stains.

    Then again, is it worth all this to try and save the clothes?

  • Maybe put an ad on Craigs for free baby clothes.  I'm sure someone would use them even if they are stained.
