My wee one is a very spilly baby and I have noticed that her spilling is making her white clothes/bibs not white anymore.
We use eco store laundry powder as my DH had bad eczema when he was little. Does anyone know what I can use as a stain remover that isn't full of chemicals that works to gets whites back to being white? I don't dry her clothes outside, I hang them in the ceiling as it is really warm up in there.... does drying in the sun really fade stains? If so would that work? ------------- Mummy to Eva born 11 Feburary 2009 and Charlotte born 18 April 2011 |

Hey Mel,
According to my mum (and yes mothers do know best) The sun works magic on stains. I think she was talking about #2 stains though, not sure about baby spew. hmmmm. |

Oh, maybe you just need to dress Eva in more pink  Or she could go Emo and start wearing black. (I find it hides stains for me. )

| We've had no success with baby spill stains. Ollie has a whole pile of bibs that are now a sort of pinky colour. We tried soaking, nappy san, sun but nothing works! |

I avoid white like the plague! But I have found that ecostore powder (soak them in it then wash) and hanging in the sun for at least a day will get out most things. ------------- http://www.babysfirstsite.com">

Mel the sun is like magic! After our poo-splosion on the plane I washed the pants and dried them in the dryer, and they were stained. When we got home I hung them on the line (dry, didn't re-wash them) half a day in the sun and the stain was completely gone. Don't know if it works on stains other than poo, don't know why it wouldn't though. ------------- http://lilypie.com">  http://lilypie.com">

Lol Ang, Eva is almost always in pink, everyone always buys pink for her. Her white clothes are mainly bibs and her two nighties.
I will try and hang them in the sun and see if it works. Lol Sarah I have a copule of flannels with poo stains on them... don't know why I haven't thought of putting them in the sun sooner, baby brain?? ------------- Mummy to Eva born 11 Feburary 2009 and Charlotte born 18 April 2011 |

My mum and nana swear by the sun! It really does help get a lot of stains out, and also nappy san has something in it that works with the sun to get stains out I think...Im sure you can get hypo allogenic napi san?? ------------- |

I use Next Generation whitner/soaker and it's fantastic, gets rid of most stains I've found including baby spills. I had clothes stored away from Carys which I washed before I put away, but when I got them out they had milk stains on them. I soaked them for a day and re-washed and now it's all gone :-)
The sun is great, it will get rid of tomato and orange stains no problem. Grass stains also fade. ------------- http://lilypie.com">

| I agree with everyone saying the sun is a great stain remover! I wash all my baby clothes with Amolin liquid, which is good for sensitive skin, and I don't seem to have any problems with spilled milk stains (and my boy spills a fair bit). |
