Need to remove a poo stain from a garment?
Don't worry, all parents know this problem one day...
An infant is a poop machine!
An overflowing diaper... A child with diarrhoea... and presto!
Often a simple machine wash is not enough and traces persist.
Luckily, there's a simple trick to make those poo marks disappear completely.
A nanny friend told me her tip for easily removing excrement stains.
She uses hydrogen peroxide and Marseille soap. Watch:
Baby clothes, bodysuits and pajamas are often made of cotton.
To remove traces of stool on a cotton bodysuit, take a clean cloth and hydrogen peroxide.
Wet the cloth with hydrogen peroxide and rub the stain with it to loosen the fabric.
Then wash the stain with Marseille soap and hot water and rinse.
All that remains is to put your clothes in the washing machine as usual.
Note that hydrogen peroxide can discolor fabrics.
With this trick, you have every chance of unfastening the baby's garment, even if it has already been washed.
It also happens that these traces of poo get stuck on jeans, a synthetic textile or even your blouse or linen pants!
You think it's impossible to get them back?
Don't worry, your clothes aren't ruined.
The Marseille soap will get them back as if they were new.
To do this, put the dirty clothes in hot water.
Then take the Marseille soap and rub the stains with it. Rinse with clean water.
Lo and behold, all poop stains are now gone from baby clothes :-)
These tricks are as effective for removing a faeces stain from crib bed linen as in the photo above...
But it also works on a mattress or even carpet.
In any case, it is then sufficient to rinse them well with water.
You can also clean traces of stool and urine on underwear and traces of poo on panties with this natural stain remover.
