Yellow baby poo. Dried on. What will flush it out?

Because, frankly, if I have to hand-scrub every single pooey item fresh on the day that the stain is made, I will eventually cave in and start rocking. I have too much else to do so I have to prioritise.

We use Ecover, which is fine on the occasions when I can hand-scrub straight after the poo explosion, but for all the other times, does it have to be Vanish? is there anything else I can buy to blast those stains?

Just use normal biological washing powder (not ecover... sorry but it's useless for anything which even looks like it might stain) and then leave it to dry OUTSIDE - this is the key. Something in sunlight (even overnight, or on cloudy/wet days) bleaches baby poo straight out. If it gets rained on just put it through a rinse or even just a spin cycle in the machine or put in tumble drier if you have one.

I have never scrubbed anything and am crap at keeping up with washing so there was definitely some dried-on (even caked-on ) poo involved at some point. And I have very few stained baby clothes of DS'.
