Stain Removal

My Danica (3 years old) is restless, much more that she's giving me lots of stains. Indeed, if you've got a baby, chances are you've got some stains.

Stains like formula, spit-up, pee or poop, grass, dirt, mud, grease, salad dressing, tomato sauce, kool-aid, red wine and blue berries are hard to remove. Thanks a lot that I discover the right defense.

For Danica's formula and spit-up, I use shampoo because it dissolves stains without harsh chemicals. All you need to do is to dab just enough shampoo on the stain to cover it with a light film. Do not rinse. Let it sit in the hamper at least overnight or until you next do laundry. When ready to put a load in your machine, dab more shampoo on the stain, then rinse it our. Use the warm or cold-water setting, not hot. When done washing, check to see if the stain came out before putting clothes in the dryer. (heat of any kind will set the stain). If the stain is still there, repeat shampoo application and wash.

For pee and poor, you need to use the Nature's Miracle pet-stain remover because it has enzymes specially formulated to eat away at bacteria. All you need to do is to saturate the item with Nature's Miracle. Let clothing soak for a few hours. Apply again, then rinse.

For grass, dirt and mud, grease and salad dressing, you need liquid dishwashing detergent (preferably an organic kind) because it is made to remove grease and oil from pots and pans, yet it's gentle enough for clothes. You just saturate the stain with detergent. Let sit for three hours. When ready to wash, apply more detergent, rub gently and rinse.

For tomato sauce, kool-aid, red wine and blueberries, you should use hydrogen peroxide (no older than 6 months, or it loses its bubbling action) and baking soda. It has red and purple stains must be bleached for the stains to disappear. Peroxide is gentler than bleach. If necessary, check for colorfastness by dabbing a small spot with a Q-tip and letting it set for 15 minutes. It it doesn't bleed, pour peroxide directly on the stain. Pour baking soda on top, let sit for 30 minutes. Rinse and repeat. The fizzing should help loosen the stain for easier removal.

I have no worries now that I know well how to remove stains. My Danica can play now anywhere, anytime. 7QFQEY6VSDFR
