Baby Poop Stain RemoverI am a mommy to three beautiful children my oldest being five and youngest five months.  I have changed lots of diapers in my life time and it is one area I really dislike.  I wish a baby came out potty trained and ready to wear undies and wipe their own bottoms, but that is not reality.  The pee is not so much an issue as is the poop.  I hate blowouts and the mess they leave behind.

Dinner was on the stove, my baby was screaming for me to pick her up out of her exersaucer, but her brother Tristan got into something and made a huge mess.  I cannot even remember what it was he did, but I know I was stressed out.  After several minutes of crying I picked up my baby girl to see yellow runny poo running all down her leg soaking into her pretty pink cotton pants.  ”Why is it babies have blowouts when you dress them nice?” I thought to myself.  The outfit was soaked and probably ruined as I stripped off the pants and her long-sleeve one-piece outfit.

I remembered a conversation with a friend when I was researching homemade laundry detergents.  She told me she used Fels Naptha heavy-duty laundry bar soap as a stain stick pre-treater for all of her clothes and especially, for baby poop stains when her children were little.  I happen to have a couple of bars leftover from my last time making homemade detergent so I ran and got it.  I am happy to report that simple bar of soap worked and my baby girl’s beautiful outfit looks fresh and clean.

 

The “How To” of getting those nasty baby poop stains out:

 

  • Take soiled clothing or item and run it under cold water rinsing all poop off the item.
  • Get a bar of soap and run it under the cold water.
  • Take the soap and rub it into the stained fabric front and back.
  • Leave the soap in the fabric and soak the clothing over night in cold water.
  • After soaking your item throw it into your washing machine and wash on the proper setting for the fabric with your laundry detergent.
  • The baby poop stain is gone and outfit saved.

Getting the stain out was that easy cold water, a bar of soap, soak overnight, and wash regularly in your washing machine.  It is cheap and it works.
The outfit I have photographed is another blowout accident we had a day later due to mother diapering error.  This outfit came out sparkling clean too.

  1. Great tip – thanks for sharing. I’m glad you linked up at Romance on a Dime. Hope to see you back next Tuesday!

  2. Also, poop and spit-up from breastfed babies comes out if you hang the wet garment outside with the stain in direct sunlight. This is all I use for those stains since it is the least time consuming for me. No scrubbing necessary. Works on grass stains too, and it’s worked on tomato for me before too.

    Great tips!
