How to Remove Stains From Kids Clothes
March 5, 2024
Kids clothing really puts the power of a laundry detergent to the test. From melted chocolate to mud, a stain on kids clothes could be any number of things... The good news is that most of it is washable, as long as you follow this guide. Here we'll share how to remove the most common stains from kids clothes.
Chocolate
We love chocolate, but similarly to sprinkles or powdered sugar, it seems to end up everywhere except your mouth. And, unfortunately, one of those places is often your clothes or other fabrics. If you've found yourself in this predicament (assuming you have since you're here), we have good news: You can get chocolate out of clothes, it just requires a few steps. Here's how to wash chocolate stains.
Grass Stains
Removing grass stains can be a bit tricky, but here's a method that usually works well:
1. Act Quickly: The key to removing grass stains is to treat them as soon as possible. The longer the stain sits, the harder it will be to remove.
2. Pre-Treat with Stain Remover: Apply a pre-treatment solution to the stained area. Mix a tablespoon of Oxi Laundry Booster with water to create a paste and apply the solution directly to the stain. Rub the solution into the stain gently with your fingers or a soft-bristled brush.
3. Let it Soak: Allow the pre-treatment solution to soak into the fabric for at least 15-30 minutes. This will help to loosen the stain and make it easier to remove.
4. Wash as Usual: After pre-treating the stain, wash the clothing item as usual, using the hottest water temperature that is safe for the fabric. Be sure to check the care label on the clothing item for specific instructions.
5. Check Before Drying: Before drying, check to make sure the stain is completely gone. If any traces of the stain remain, repeat the pre-treatment and washing process.
6. Air Dry: Once the stain is fully removed, air dry the clothing item. Avoid using a dryer until you are certain the stain is gone, as heat from the dryer can set the stain further.
7. Repeat if Necessary: Stubborn grass stains may require multiple treatments to completely remove. If the stain persists after the first attempt, repeat the pre-treatment and laundering process until the stain is gone.

Mud
As Spring arrives, the combination of warm weather and spring showers can create for a muddy mess—especially if you have little ones eager to get outside and play. The good news is that removing mud stains from clothes is fairly simple, just follow these steps.
