 Topic: Removing stains from merino clothes
Posted: 12 September 2009 at 10:06am |
I bought 2 merino bodysuits on TM for Mika, and they arrived today.
However they have got some ugly stains on them 
It did say in the add, some minor stains, but they are a bit worse than I thought.
Does anyone know how to remove stains from merino clothes? I'm pretty sure you cannot soak in nappisan.
Also, I don't know how long the stains have been there, probably quite a while.
TIA

Depends on what type of stain it is, how long it's been there etc but you could try running under hot water. If it's got an oily base then that will help loosen the oil. no other helpful advice sorry

I'll be watching this thread with interest, lil miss has heaps of merino stuff that I'd like to be able to pass on to friends but some of it has stains on it that I want to get rid of first.

We sometimes get stains on DS's merino Pj's from nappy failure, they do wash out before too long, we just use some wool wash that's in a green bottle, and they are usually gone after a couple of washes.

I think you can soak in vinegar to remove stains from wool.

Ella's got a few merino clothing, and was forever getting poo stains on her merino gown when she was a newborn and I brought this special soap for getting out stains of wool clothing. it is brilliant!!!! everytime I use it the stains have come out (she gets paint stains on her merino blankie and it all comes out). I brought it a couple of years ago and seriously there is still heaps left to go.
here's the link to it http://www.bumbles.co.nz/products/Sudz%27n%27Dudz-Organic-Wool-Wash-Bar.html

Sard Wonder Soap worked for a stain I had on one of bub's merino sleeping bags.

I was about to say the same thing Red. Sard is great for all sorts of stains.
Also Sunlight is an amazing stain remover. Just leave them outside to dry for a while.
I found when looking at all of DS's old things that stains can appear over time when things have been in storage. Most of them have come out with the sun.
