Do throw away stained clothes?
I’ve never felt the need to throw any clothes away but so far none have been stained enough to consider throwing away but it seems most people I know throw away stained clothes. As long as the clothes are clean aside from the stains I keep for home/messy play/nursery clothes rather than throw any away unnecessarily.

*do you throw away throw away stained clothes. 😂 won’t let me edit it to change it now
Depends how bad, but I have yes
I grew up on a farm so I usually had half my wardrobe was nice clothes and half was "farm clothes".
With my current lifestyle I only need 1-2 sets of clothes like that. With my kids, I don't think my son is old enough for a distinction so I usually just throw out badly stained clothes.
As he gets older, I'll probably keep some sets for mucking outside and doing messy projects but there's not a lot of need yet.
If she’s outgrown them and they’re stained then yes, I’ll throw them away as I can’t sell them or pass them on to friends or charity so not much I can do with them. If she still fits in the size, then I’ll just wash them and use them under things or for messy play/foods.
Depends on what kind of stain and how badly it’s stained and how old the clothes are lol I don’t buy expensive clothes for my kids because they are messy lol
Bad blow out stain that I have tried to get out in every way but won’t come out is getting trashed.
A small food stain or paint stain isn’t a big deal.
I can’t put my child in stained clothes but it’s just a me thing! I try get stains out first xxx
I throw out badly stained clothes once my son grows out of them but until then I pack them in his nursery bag as spares - most of the stains come from nursery so I don’t want to ruin extra clothes unnecessarily!
We keep stained clothes because my kids play hard and I won’t send them outside in nice clothing.
I keep them and use the stained clothes for home . “Cleaner”looking clothes are for going out
I always think of dying stained clothes if they are still in good condition is a fun idea.
For me nothing is ever stained because I either soak it in a bucket of vanish or it's pen marks that don't wash out - which to me is just a sign of having had fun 🤷🏼♀️
I've never thrown anything away because of a stain and if she's wearing something really fancy then we don't do messy things for that time 😂
