On a few of our Fuzzi bunz I have poop stains and don't know how to get them off, they are very faded but still look gross.
They have been washed and soaked but I don't know if there is anything else I can put on them? Please help |

I find the sun bleaches most things out - if there is any sun  -------------  Maya Grace (28/02/03)

| I know it is a bit tricky considering we are heading right into winter, but sunshine is by far the best stain remover that I have been able to find. If you have a clothes airer that you can put outside somewhere first thing in the morning, peg them by the pocket end and turn the fleece side to face the sun - then leave them out there as long as possible. The other thing to consider is what are you soaking them in? I've found EcoStore Oxygen Whitener to be quite handy, but you sometimes have to be careful with soaking and poop stains as it can sometimes make them worse. What I usually do if we have a round of poo-splosions is run a hot wash (usually do cold), and set it to a soak cycle - then when the machine beeps, I add a scoop of the oxygen whitener to the water. I don't know if stripping them will help, but it could be worth a shot. I'm also sure some of the other lovely cloth mummies here will have some other bright ideas to help you out. Good luck ! |

I find that even on dull days, if you put the nappies to dry in the sun by a window (so the glass intensifies what sun there is) it gets out poo stains. :) ------------- http://lilypie.com">

yep, sunshine, natures bleach...
or else you can give them a scrub with a brush if they are really stubborn. or maybe try a baking soda paste. |

The sun literally bleaches the poop away. Like fades it to nothing - don't ask me how it just does!!!  ------------- http://lilypie.com">

thanks guys
They do always hang out in the sun which is why I think they have faded so much, but I might have to try the baking soda idea today and see what happens. |
