Dyeing poo stained stuff and selling it?

I have loads of baby items which have poo stains on which I just can't seem to remove... towels, vests, sleep suits etc.
Would I be unreasonable to dye them with Dylon and sell or pass them on? I'd be upfront about it but not sure if people would be grossed out...?

I would bin them. You won't get much in eBay for dyed poo clothes! Really not worth the effort.

If they are stained with poo don't sell them just throw them away.

TequilaMockinBird · 15/10/2012 11:43

Yuck! Bin them

UsingAPsuedonym · 15/10/2012 11:44

Just pass onto clothes recycling!

Eeew Hmm
Yabu!

Plus all the supermarkets sell vests, babygros etc extremely cheaply so I really can't see anyone being desperate enough to buy poo stained dyed clothes on eBay.

UnChartered · 15/10/2012 11:45

ask yourself if YOU'D buy shit-stained clothes from a stranger and then decide?

OutragedAtThePriceOfFreddos · 15/10/2012 11:45

I can't believe anyone would actually consider buying them. At least not for enough to cover the cost of the dye!

It's minging, bin them. Or dye them and put them in a clothes bank.

Better nappies?

MrsKeithRichards · 15/10/2012 11:46

In fact even my nappies don't come out the wash with poo stains!

PropertyNightmare · 15/10/2012 11:46

Don't clothes recycling want clean, washed clothes though? I am starting to chant 'bin it', 'bin it'!

Pochemuchka · 15/10/2012 11:47

Yuk! I just binned all mine.

You've made me chuckle with your entrepreneurial spirit!

Noqontrol · 15/10/2012 11:47

I wouldn't want them. Esp when they are so cheap in supermarkets and primark. I wouldn't waste your time.

HappyHalloweenMotherFucker · 15/10/2012 11:47

Yuuuk

NumericalMum · 15/10/2012 11:49

We can stick clothes like that in our recycling bin.

MrsKeithRichards · 15/10/2012 11:50

Even non poo stained vests are barely worth selling!

Have you tried the pink Vanish stain remover capsules? They are amazing!

PickledFanjoCat · 15/10/2012 11:54

You get buttons for baby clothes on eBay unless designer or similar.

You can buy brand new vests from
Asda very cheaply, you will need to charge a couple of quids postage.

All in all, a shit idea Grin

SparkyTGD · 15/10/2012 11:55

Are you the poo-troll? Grin

Am joking, I recognise your name from your cat-thread ages ago.

Collywibbles · 15/10/2012 11:59

Charity shops take stuff like this for rags - they get money / kilo. I am always taking tatty pants / odd socks / etc (washed obviously) so I am sure they would take your poo stained vests! Just make sure they know it is a bag of rag stuff NOT for sale Smile

silverten · 15/10/2012 12:04

Well I've dyed stained stuff (not sold it though). I used dark colours and it covered up a frankly amazing amount of marks, and looked quite good.

Economically probably not worth it (I dunno though, vests are, what, a fiver for three? if you have a load that would be otherwise useable then a fiver's load of dye goes quite a long way) but I just couldn't justify binning perfectly useable clothing that simply looked a bit unattractive. The waste!

safflower · 15/10/2012 12:05

OP you are GROSS

Dogsmom · 15/10/2012 12:05

This is surely a joke?.....
