Maybe try getting some woolen eucalyptus wash. Rub it undialuted into the yellow bits and throw into the machine and wash as usual. Depending on how old the stains are it may take a few goes. It also works for grubby white shirt collars and cuffs.]]> Mon, 10 Aug 2009 10:17:50 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=27991&PID=743132&title=gogo-bags-and-bottle-teats-cleaning#743132 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=27991&PID=742990&title=gogo-bags-and-bottle-teats-cleaning#742990 Author: Ella1

I was told to NEVER use napisan on merino, as (apparently) it causes little holes in the fabric.
(not sure why this would be the case with merino but not with other fabrics, but I was told this by the shop where I bought my gogo bag)

Sorry, have no solution for your problems ]]> Sun, 09 Aug 2009 22:49:10 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=27991&PID=742990&title=gogo-bags-and-bottle-teats-cleaning#742990 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=27991&PID=742756&title=gogo-bags-and-bottle-teats-cleaning#742756 Author: KiwiL

You can also leave them out on the line in the sun for a while, that often fades out any yellowness.

Try soaking the teats in a mixture of baking soda and white vinegar, might help bleach the teats again.

Good luck!]]> Sun, 09 Aug 2009 16:48:50 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=27991&PID=742756&title=gogo-bags-and-bottle-teats-cleaning#742756 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=27991&PID=742751&title=gogo-bags-and-bottle-teats-cleaning#742751 Author: FreeSpirit

No idea what would work on the sleeping bags, but have you tried cleaning the bottle teats with salt??? Wet them, then fill the teat with salt crystals and rub between your fingers.]]> Sun, 09 Aug 2009 16:46:42 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=27991&PID=742751&title=gogo-bags-and-bottle-teats-cleaning#742751 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=27991&PID=742734&title=gogo-bags-and-bottle-teats-cleaning#742734 Author: Mama2two

We have a Gogo bag for my daughter and had no choice but to soak it a while back after a bad tummy bug.

I soaked it in napisan for around 24 hours in hot water and then put it through the washing machine on a hot wash (it was really that gross and I wasn't taking any chances!!!).
Anyway, it has washed fine. All stains came out and it hasn't effected the merino in any way.]]> Sun, 09 Aug 2009 16:07:02 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=27991&PID=742734&title=gogo-bags-and-bottle-teats-cleaning#742734 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=27991&PID=742709&title=gogo-bags-and-bottle-teats-cleaning#742709 Author: kellie

Maybe try making a paste out of napisan and water and applying it to the marks for 15mins. Wash as usual.

Test a tiny spot first though.]]> Sun, 09 Aug 2009 14:55:40 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=27991&PID=742709&title=gogo-bags-and-bottle-teats-cleaning#742709 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=27991&PID=742672&title=gogo-bags-and-bottle-teats-cleaning#742672 Author: sadie

Bit of a random one, but I know there are some cleaning gurus out there!

We have just weaned DS out of his gogo bags and into blankets. The necks of his bags though have gone a bit yellow (ick) and stained with milk dribbles. This is despite fairly regular washing and rotating (we have 3). The care labels say not to soak them, but I would love to get them all nice and pristine again for this new baby. Any suggestions?

Also, the teats of his (Avent) bottles have also gone a bit yellow. I don't want to just replace them as we are hoping to wean him onto a cup soon. I normally scrub them with a brush, and then they go through the dishwasher. Any ideas on the best way to get these nice and clear again? ]]> Sun, 09 Aug 2009 13:35:54 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=27991&PID=742672&title=gogo-bags-and-bottle-teats-cleaning#742672
