Laundry ? re: poop stains

EmandChris08 · May 2011

DS had a bunch of explosive poop incidents this past week. I ran a load of his laundry and the stains didn't come out. I just used normal detergent and didn't pre-treat the clothes. Any advice?

The dreft spray to pre-treat is supposed to be great - I haven't used it yet but my friends swear by it.

I use this and have been able to save all of DD's clothes! You can either give that a try or some oxyclean, I hear that works great for a lot of people.

It works like a charm! If it's a really bad stain, you may need to wash twice, but it's great!

oxiclean and then sun them...I have never had a poop stain stick after this....the sun is amazing...keeps all DS's cloth diapers bright white!

I spray Shout on stains on DDs clothes before I wash them. They almost always come out the first time. It takes a second wash for the bad ones to come out.

I'm glad someone posted this question....I've had some poop stain issues recently myself.

This! Someone gave us the dreft spray at a baby shower. I probably wouldn't have tried it otherwise and it has worked great... Confession: I found a onesie that hadn't been rinsed that sat for over a week (ok, closer to two weeks) and the stain still came out. Embarrassed

A cousin gave me oxyclean at my shower with a note on top that said "Miracle Poop and Puke Remover"! It is great! Put the clothes in a bucket with water and a scoop of oxyclean and let it sit for a day(or more if you are not doing laundry the next day!:)) and you will not have a stain!

This exactly! Put them out in the sun!

We use a mixture of hydrogen peroxide, dawn dish soap and water before washing and it works great and is super cheap!

I just wash as normal and then dry them in the sun. No additional chemicals needed and you save money.

Oxyclean has taken out ALL of DD's stains and she has had alot

Oxy Clean.

If it's bad or a large stain I'll soak it first, but usually I just throw it in the laundry with a scoop of Oxy Clean. It always comes out. In fact, I've gotten in the habit of putting a scoop of Oxy Clean in every wash.
