lansinoh stains on clothes!

Have lansinoh (nipple cream) staining on my tops - looks terrible as these greasy stains are over the breast area (!) and haven't come out with normal washing - anyone have any advice about how to get this out?

Snap. Hoping someone has a solution!

You could try rubbing a big splodge of washing up liquid into the stains and then washing as normal? I do this with ordinary grease stains and it works (usually).

Or putting kitchen paper towels under & over the stain then ironing to melt the grease changing the paper towels until no more grease comes out (like you would do with split candle wax on a table cloth).

Or sprinkling talcum powder over the stain and leaving overnight? Not sure if that one would work well if the stain was cold - might work better over the radiator.

Agree that it never comes out - stained all my stuff.

me too - I never actually leaked but I used the breastpads i had bought to stop the lansinoh getting everywhere!

I did get it to wash out eventually, by washing lots of times and using some kind of stain remover...
