Removing Spots:

Removing Spots in Baby Laundry

by Anne Berline

Babies’ garments are different from adults', you see, and babies’ skin is far more sensitive, so there is no miracle stain remover that is both safe for baby and tough on the messes that they tend to make.

There are, however, several ways to remove stubborn stains like those from baby clothes and accessories using common household items that contain no harmful chemicals.

For the traditional spit-up stain that parents of a young baby will see plenty of, the best method that I have found involves club soda and baking soda. What you’ll want to do is sprinkle a bit of baking soda on the stained area and then pour on a bit of club soda.

Remember the papier mache volcanoes we made in school? This is the same effect. The club soda and baking soda will bubble and foam a bit. Let that happen for a few seconds and then take an old toothbrush and gently scrub the area. The dried-on bits of yuck should loosen and chip away in no time at all.

Now wash the garment as usual. Presto! The stain should be gone.

This same concoction will remove corrosion from the positive and negative posts of an automobile battery, by the way!

Hello, my name is Leah Day. In 2007 I gave birth to my son at home naturally and without medical intervention. With my husband Josh, we created and coined Moderation Parenting, a new style of parenting centered around the idea that no baby fits into a predetermined mold.
