I can't think of a better place to post this question, so here it is: how do you remove Desitin from clothing? I have dropped a couple blobs of Desitin on some clothes (khaki pants and a hot pink bodysuit) and that stuff just won't come out, no matter how many times I treat and launder. Any suggestions? I hate to ditch the clothes (J.Crew and Gymboree). Thanks!

Scrub by hand with some Dawn dishwashing liquid.

I had (and still do have) problems with this as well. My DS got a hold of the Desitin tube while in his Gymboree Hawaiian shirt this summer, and it always seems I'm getting it on something. I did quite a bit of research. A book I have by the Queen of Clean said to soak the stained clothing thoroughly in white vinegar for 30 minutes, then launder as usual. I did this and it all came out! A good natural cleaning remedy. Good luck.
