Getting stains out of nappies!

4 replies

Help! I need to get the poo stains out of the Motherease nappies.

I used them on (bottle fed) DS for 9 months and they were pristine when he'd grown out of them. DD (breast fed) has been in them for 10 weeks and they are YELLOW! With DS I never soaked and just washed at 60 degrees. Now I have tried soaking (just washes the poo over more of the nappy) with and without Napisan. Washing at 90 degrees with and without prewashing and nothing works.

I use fleece liners and although the poo does get around the liner it also gets through.

Any suggestions?

Freddiecat, only sunlight will work! Hang them outside as much as possible, and the staining will disappear over time. Dd was breastfed and her Tots went orange for a while!

yes, sunlight is the best..

I occasionally do a prewash with oxyclean only and that helps shift alot of it.

Agree sunlight is amazing
I didn't believe it to start with, tried lots of dif stain removers. When its too damp for line drying, place nappies with bright yellow stains facing the window and the sun will do its magic

I tried the Ecover laundry bleach but I wasn't very impressed.
