Stains, stains, stains!

Oh same here!! How is it that no nappies have stains but all her singlets do???? No idea!! Let me know when you find a solution!

I love the Sard Wonder Stick - gets EVERYTHING out!! As long as you rub it on soon after the clothing has been soiled it works a treat. And I think you can leave it on for a few days if you can't get to the washing right away.

Vanish preen direct 7 day stain remover works a charm, whenever the boys spill, vomit, whatever when I change the shirt/shorts the stain s get treated and when they are washed the stain is gone

only thing becareful to not put the wet clothes (from the stain remover) straight in basket while wet it can sometimes bleach other clothes...

Anyone found anything that works successfully on banana - I now feed DD banana rather than letting her feed herself because have ruined too many things. I have tried SARD, tea tree oil (recommendation via google) various washing powders and the sun - but still looks like mould in the clothes.

I have a similar issue. DS has a profound hatred of bibs and he feeds himself so food goes everywhere. Some his nicest clothes are so badly stained. I'm thinking about soaking them in napisan or something, but sounds like people have tried that with no luck so I'm at a bit of a loss now. I was thinking about bi-carb - anyone tried that?

Oh! It must be banana!! It def looks like mould!

Thanks for the tips everyone! I think I am leaving it too long before attending to the stains.

As for banana...there must be a solution!
