Newborn pooh stain on my clothes

5 replies

I have a newborn yellow pooh stain on a couple of items of my clothing. It's my fault they got stained in the first place, but now I can't get it out!

I left a tissue in the pocket of my trousers when I put them in the wash. That tissue must have picked up a bit of pooh stain from one of my baby's bodysuits, and then stained my trousers and a skirt (which must have been next to the trousers) in the rinse cycle. I think that's what happened anyhow.

I've tried applying Vanish in stick form, I've also soaked in a Vanish powder solution, and soaked in Biotex but the stains are still there. Biotex is usually my saviour for any stains but even that hasn't worked so I'm at a loss to know how to get the stains out. Any ideas? That was the first time I had worn and then washed that skirt too

Try hanging it outside- the sunlight fades the stain away, sounds mad but it works

second sunlight.

Oh and it doesn't matter if it isn't really sunny (although it works quicker if it is)

OK, will try that. Thanks.
