What do you use that gets out stains? I'm so tired of clothes getting trashed with tomato sauce. |
Resolve stain stick. Even if items sit a few days until I do laundry, everything comes out. |
All free and clear, pretreat, same as we use for us. |
Fels Naptha soap. Dampen the bar and spot treat or use an old toothbrush and brush on. |
Soak in oxiclean and then wash with your free and clear detergent.
Never once lost a clothing item to a stain since I discovered presoaking in oxiclean |
Carbona stain devils save my laundry. This is the one for tomato sauce:

We have a permanent oxy tub for soaking in basement. Kid is 3. Haven't thrown out anything due to stains yet. |
I stopped caring. I don't have time to pre soak and spot treat every stain. Whatever it comes out looking like it how they wear it. I consider stains on kids clothes patina. |
Don’t dry in the dryer until the stains are out. Some of the things that work for us are blue dawn and vinegar, oxi clean stain stick, and sunlight. |
I don’t try. Stained clothes live at the daycare as backups. |
+1. We keep a bucket with water and oxiclean on our washer. Stained clothes go in, and once a week those go in the laundry. Pretty much everything comes out. |
We have stacked laundry machines (much to my dismay) but it works out nicely for kid laundry. I just sit on the floor with an oxiclean stick and hit any clothes that I know had stains. I also don’t put anything that still has a stain in the dryer but generally everything comes out clean if I get the oxiclean on first.
ALSO, my kids don’t eat tomato sauce in shirts. Topless spaghetti dinners. I’m hoping they are less messy about the time that it becomes inappropriate to make them eat shirtless. |
Zout |
OP here, yes I do shirtless meals. It's when DH serves food without me there to catch the shirt it happens. But also sometimes there are drops to the pants I wasn't accounting for...I guess I could just do naked meals! |
+2! |
