food stains on clothes - help...

[tostaky]

DS1 is always coming back from nursery with lots of food stains and despite washing everything at 60C they don't go away.
I tried washing at 95C and it makes no difference...
I use Persil non-bio

I have the same problem with his cotton bibs, and also with poo stains.

Anyone can help? It would be nice to be able to actually re-use DS1 things for DS....

for DS 2 of course!

Ace bleach is quite good and you can use soda crystals to boost the effectiveness of your wash powder.

Wash as normal and hang out on the line, leave for a few days and the sunshine will bleach them out. (Honest - its that easy)

My DTs are 8.5 months so food stains are really common for us!

I use Vanish or Nappisan, both work well but do fade the brighter colours a bit.

Nappisan is esp good for poo stains as it's designed for washing cloth nappies.

Notapizzaeater is right - lots of DDs clothes come out of the machine with stains intact but then when I bring them in off the line the stains have magically disappeared. I was when I discovered this (but then I am easily impressed...)

Is it? only problem is i dont have a garden so i hang the laundry inside the house... Could try next to a window but it is not very sunny atm!

will try soda critsal too

thx
