There is nothing worse than ruining one of your baby's best
outfits with a baby food stain. Just one small drop of baby food can
quickly ruin an entire outfit. However, there is hope. Baby food
stains do not have to ruin your infants clothing. There are some simple
steps to both prevent the stains from happening, as well as removing
them if they should happen.
First, begin by always using a bib. A
baby bib will simply help to protect your baby clothes from the baby
food. Often times it is easier to prevent a stain from occurring, than
trying to remove the stain afterwards. You can also give your baby
smaller bites. This will help to eliminate excess food spilling out of
his or her mouth.
Should your baby's clothes still become stained
from the baby food, there are some quick and easy steps you can take to
remove the stains. It is very important that you never iron or dry the
clothes in the dryer until the stain is completely removed. Otherwise
the heat from the iron and dryer will permanently set the stain into the
clothes.
Often times a liquid detergent will help in removing the
baby food stain. Simply put the detergent directly on the stain and
let it sit. The worse the stain is, the longer you will want to leave
the detergent on. After the detergent has set a while on the stain, rub
the detergent into the stain. Afterwards, rinse the garment
completely. If the stain is completely gone, you can then launder it
like normal.
Another method you can try for removing baby food
stains is to lather the stain with shaving cream.
You can put the
shaving cream directly on the stain and let it soak for approximately
30-60 minutes.
You will want to make sure that you use foamy shaving
cream instead of the gel shaving cream. After the shaving cream has set
for a while, rub the stained area and then rinse. If the stain is
completely gone, you can then wash the clothing like normal. If the
stain is still there, you can repeat the above steps in order to
completely remove the stain.
Hydrogen peroxide and water can be
mixed together to help remove baby food stains. Use 50 percent water
and 50 percent hydrogen peroxide. Spray the mixture on the stain and
let it stand for approximately 30 minutes. You will then want to rinse
the stain with a mixture of 50 percent water and 50 percent vinegar.
After the garment is completely rinsed, you can then launder as normal.
There
are a variety of store products that work great on baby food stains.
You can pre-treat the stains with either Shout or Zout. You can then
let the garment sit for a while and then launder as normal.

food stains do not mean that you have to toss your baby's clothes out.
There are a variety of different steps you can do to try and prevent the
stains. However, if your baby's clothes still manages to get stained,
there are a variety of different tricks you can try to remove the stain.
