Banana stains on baby gros n bibs

[Chrysanthamum]

My baby loves bananas but ends up with it all over his clothes and I can't get it out. Any ideas?

[thisisyesterday]

nope, have never worked out a way to shift it. looks like mould doesn't it? yucky

[TheDevilWearsPrimark]

use bio powder.

I find this odd though, I've gotten banana stains out of curtains just with dry cleaning.

Napisan - gets it out everytime for me

Can I add to / hijack this thread? Has anyone tried getting out stains with Milton? I've been told it can be used as a soak but I don't know how much to use or if you can use it on colours.

[cmotdibbler]

Milton acts as a bleach - wouldn't trust it at all on colours. You're better off using Ace laundry bleach or similar if you want to go that way

[LaTurkey]

Hmmm. I just want someting that works. May try Bio detergent.

I used to quickly scrub dd's bib straight after her banabix - just used a washing up brush and dunked it in the washing up water. Then bung it in the washing.

Just to let you know - I got impatient this morning and tried the Milton on an assortment of pale coloured clothes. I soaked them for 45 minutes or so and they're perfect. Colour not faded.

I'll try some napisan/milton soaks. One of my exciting Christmas holidays plans is to declutter nursery and soak bibs/sleepsuits before I go back to work. If anything of the above does the trick I'll spread the word! I'll also be fitting in a few parties as well (between soaks)

i still use sterilising tablets for stains, i add one tablet and soak for an hour, generally it get out all stains from school shirts etc!

[Chrysanthamum]

So they don't blanch the colours then Bonkerz?

[BONKERZ]

mine never did, even used them on pale blue shirts and colours stayed fine......DISCLAIMER.....i accept no responsibility for anything that happen if you follow what i have done im justsaying what I do and what works for me. One tablet in about 5 pints of warm water and soak for one hour. also gets stains out of plastic cutlary and plates/bowls etc.
