Does anyone have any good tips for getting food stains out of baby clothes? My little girl is now at nursery two days a week and comes in with food stains over her clothes. Not really finding much that is taking them out - help please!

Pour boiling hot water over the stain to get most of it out, then I use the vanish carpet and upholstery spray, let it soak in for a bit and chuck in the wash. Gets everything out

Cold water with a Milton,I use that on white stains

Soak them in water with pink stuff stain remover then put in machine with more pink stuff

We spray elbow grease onto our little girls clothes when they have stains on and that usually works haha xx

For new stains I just tip boiling water on them which works amazingly! For tomato based stains, after washing the clothes I hang them in direct sunlight and it brings them right out (also works for my husbands grubby white socks!) xx

The cleaning factors are:
- Temperature
- Time
- Agitation
- Chemistry (detergent/stain removers)
Hotter, longer washes with more detergent and more small items to ‘bash’ against the clothes with the stains will increase the likelihood of getting stains out ❤️
Also, if you can get your hands on the bar stain remover from Vanish, it’s a lot cheaper than the liquids and far more effective in my experience. Apply some with some hot water and rub the fabric together. It’s been great for us! Xx

Any natural food stains leaving the clothes in sun gets rid!

Please bear in mind too that any stains left in the sun to fade will come back over time when put into storage as they haven’t actually been physically removed from the fabrics, just been faded/made invisible temporarily.
If you’re saving clothes for future babies, I would recommend a different method ❤️ x

Thanks so much everyone 💕 I’ve got a little pile I’m going to get started on tomorrow.
