View Full Version : Can't get stains out of DS's clothes

DH always throws DS's clothes in the hamper at night without checking for stains. Thus, when I do laundry, I can't get the stains out of DS's clothes. I've tried Shout and OxyClean but with no success. The worst part is that only his good clothes get stains that won't come out, not the cheap onesies that I don't mind ruining. Any advice on getting food stains out?
Thanks,
Tracy

I found that I have better luck when I soak my clothes in cold water w/Liquid Tide, Wash them, then hang them on a clothes line or put them out in the sun, so the sun bleaches out the stain. Sometimes I have to do this twice, but most of the time it's just once and it works right away.

The sun is a great stain bleaching tool. Good luck.

Thanks I'll try that next time. Its just so frustrating when its his cute clothes that get ruined. The OxyClean actually made it worse by making the colors in the design bleed. Thus, it not only has a stain but color streaks as well!

I've had nothing but great luck with the OxyClean spray. I spray it on & then let it sit for a few hours, then wash in hot. Works every time.

My DH is the same way. He'll throw in a bib that is just *COVERED* with oatmeal and yogurt. Thick coating, too. Then I'll find it at the end of the week stuck to two other articles of clothing, and dried hard as a rock. Ugh! Then if we stick it in the laundry, everything gets little soggy oatmeal grains pasted to them.

I bought the Clorox bleach pens. Works great on white/partially white clothes. I haven't found anything other than elbow grease and a toothbrush to take out stains on colored clothes.

A few things that work for me...

1. Shout stain stick - I put it on the stain, leave it overnight, then rinse the next day with the warmest/hottest water the fabric can tolerate. Works way better than the Shout spray.

2. For bad stains - soak clothes overnight in the sink with a scoop of detergent. Agitate them by hand every so often. This works way better than I thought.

3. The lazy version of the above...load washer, add detergent. Start machine up and once clothes get to agitation phase, stop the washer and let clothes soak for several hours, then start washer again and proceed with cycle as usual.

4. For tough stains like blueberries, raspberries,etc. Boil water, add oxyclean powder, mix quickly and then pour on stain. Works every time.

A few things that work for me...

1. Shout stain stick - I put it on the stain, leave it overnight, then rinse the next day with the warmest/hottest water the fabric can tolerate. Works way better than the Shout spray.

2. For bad stains - soak clothes overnight in the sink with a scoop of detergent. Agitate them by hand every so often. This works way better than I thought.

3. The lazy version of the above...load washer, add detergent. Start machine up and once clothes get to agitation phase, stop the washer and let clothes soak for several hours, then start washer again and proceed with cycle as usual.

4. For tough stains like blueberries, raspberries,etc. Boil water, add oxyclean powder, mix quickly and then pour on stain. Works every time.

I have had GREAT success with castile soap.

I squirt some soap on the stain and then soak it in cold water until the stain is out.

It has gotten out the following stains for me:
Strawberries (fresh stain)
Breast fed poop
Red Tylenol (gave to DD at night, got on her shirt, soaked it the next morning and the stain came out --- I couldn't believe it!)

HTH!

I've also had great luck with OxySpray- but don't spray it & leave it. It needs to be washed right away. I've also heard that hot water actually sets the stains in deeper so I try to wash DD stuff on warm. Is that a total lie?
The one stain I have never been able to get out is DD's liquid iron supplement. OF course it only gets on her most adorable expensive outfits- completely dead with this horrible brown stain!!
Any ideas?

I tried the Oxypowder. Poured a scoop in with hot water and let the clothes soak. Not only did it not get out the stain, but it made the colors in the fabric bleed.:(

I thought hot water set stains also, but the directions on the OxyClean said hot water. I think that if I had used cold water it might have had more of an effect on the stain.
I bought a couple of those new Tide pens. I put one in each of my diaper bags so I can catch the stain immediately next time. I also told my husband that he has to treat any food stains immediately from now on. We'll see how that goes.

We've had the best luck with Folex (found in the carpet cleaner section). If it doesn't come clean with Shout/Zout/Dreft Stain Remover after the first wash, we Folex it and it usually does the trick. I don't know why we don't just Folex it from the get-go - probably b/c the others are right next to the detergent...
