Do you have suggestions for explosive poop stain?

Battlebaby09 · November 2011

I'm trying to be proactive this time... DS 1 was an explosive pooper for months and months and a lot of his clothes were ruined. I was reminded of this, because a friend of mine is going through this now. Do you have any suggestions or miracle products that will help with these stains? It would be great to have a plan before DS 2 gets here

. TIA

If I use it right away the Dreft Stain Remover works really well!

I've also heard OxyClean but I haven't used it! Maybe that would be good after it's been washed and still stained?

I'm finding the BFing orange poop is SUPER hard to get out! Ugh!

I highly recommend making your own laundry soap. Seriously. It takes about 10 minutes to make a month's worth. I use a bar of Fels Naptha soap (found either in the laundry or soap aisles of some supermarkets), 3/4 cup of Arm & Hammer *washing* soda and 3/4 cups of Borax. I use a mini food processor to powderize the bar of soap and stir in the other two powders. I use a rounded tablespoon for normal loads and 1.5 tablespoons for especially dirty loads. I also use oxyclean with the dirtier loads.

I also recommend using Fels Naptha as a pretreater. I just wet the stain with cold water and rub the bar of soap on the stain.

I have yet to find anything that won't come out with the pretreating, homemade detergent and oxyclean. Poop, blood, you name it, it comes out.

With DD, I learned that if poop gets on something, I would have two choices to save it -

One is to wash it RIGHT AWAY. Rinse it with water and wash it seriously immediately, hopefully you have other dirty clothes to be washed, too, so that it isn't a waste of water and energy, haha.

The other is bleach alternative. (Use the extra rinse option)

Soak in a bucket of oxyclean. It works great!

We use Grandma's Spot Remover. Bed Bath and Beyond carries it. Works GREAT!

In all honesty, if it is poopy all the way up to her neck, I just cut the onesie off and count it as a loss.

I have saved many a garment though. I wipe off the excess poop with a baby wipe and then spray the spot w/ the Dreft Stain Remover. Then throw it in the laundry on hot. Works like a charm! I highly recommend it.

And I don't have any remaining stains on anything. Even when she has pooped all over her white onesies, they are still white! And I have accidentally left them overnight without throwing them in the wash and it still gets it out.

Honestly, plain old Shout spray. DD2 blew out twice this weekend while we were out of town and I didn't get to wash the clothes until yesterday. Sprayed them with Shout, rubbed it in a little, and washed like normal. Saved the sleep, onesie and pants

I would look on the cloth diaper board FAQ for detergents that get out poop and wash routines. Good luck.

oxyvlean for laundry spray does AMAZING! I haven't had to toss a single thing since I started using it.

We soak with Oxyclean baby in a bucket of hot water for at least 30 minutes. This has gotten every stain out for us... even on white onesies.

Thanks for asking this! I already have a few casualties; hopefully no more though!

Oxyclean Max Force stain stick usually gets the BF poop stains out... if one is by chance too stubborn for it, I soak it overnight in a bucket of hot oxyclean water. I don't bother with the Oxyclean spray unless it's the Max Force spray... the regular stuff is no better than the Shout squirt bottle spray. I haven't had to sacrifice any outfits after putting Oxyclean on them.

Wash out what you can by hand and then put it outside for a few hours. The sun naturally bleaches the poop, but not the color of the fabric. It's easy and free! I was skeptical when I heard this in another post, but it actually works. We had a Major blowout last week...completely soaked up the back on a patterned white onsie and there was no trace of the stain afterward.

This exactly. We keep a bucket in the tub and soak all of her poopy things in hot water and Oxyclean Baby. I've managed to get out every single stain. I also soak for hours. Sometimes overnight.
