stains on my babys clothes grrr

[proudmumof1]

hi everyone, everytime my daughter has her food she always ends up wearing half of it even when shes wearing a bib lol and when i put the clothes in the wash the stains never come out! im getting really cheesed off to say the least, i cant work out what im doing wrong lol so what wash does everyone put there babys clothes in at or what do they use? any tips will also be very greatly appeciated, thanks everyone :)

Hang them outside on the line and the sun will bleach it out (even winter sun)

I use biological powder and have no problems with stains. I personally don't believe that bio causes skin irritation either. I wash DD's nappies in it as well and haven't had any problems.

i use bio powder and agree with you emsyj, what wash do you put them in at because theres gota be something im doing wrong lol really notapizzaeater? lol well i will certainly give that a try thanks!! x

The sun does bleach some of it out but I ended up binning (well, rag recycling) a lot of baby clothes in the end. Banana, carrot, sweet potato and spag bol were the worst.

Soak or pre-wash with bio-tex. That or a quick rub with washing up liquid gets out most food stains.

yes thats what iv just had to do myself meglet, after going through all her baby clothes, and spag bol is an absolute nightmare! lol

thankyou AlwaysbeOpralFruitstome great tips to try x

Soak in a soda crystal solution. That gets out most things (though not banana stains from my DS's white top - at 3 years old you'd think he'd be past the banana stain stage, but no )

I also treat with washing up liquid - wet the stain, rub the washing up liquid into it and rinse. DeSolv-It stain remover spray also helps too (from the supermarket)

de-solv-it

thanks evryone great help! x

i used vanish spray for ages and its not great- then got the more expensive ariel stain remover and its brilliant. just srpay on leave a while and wash.

I use a spoonful of napisan in with the powder. It's great for getting stains out. For really messy stuff I use one of the rubber tommee tippee bibs over the regular bib. They catch all the bits as well!

Boil in oxyclean (scoop in a big pan) - sounds brutal, but it's the only thing that's got the banana and milk stains out of my messy eater's white babygrows.

I use dishwasher (machine) fluid in very hot water and soak garment. It is specifically designed to remove food and really works well.

wow there are so many things i can try out! thanks every1 and thats a very good idea with the bibs fluteyboots!
