[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My guess is.... your kid cares zero percent.[/quote]

OP, my kid unfortunately cares very, very much.

The internet suggested trying baking soda paste in the sun, so I'm currently waiting on the results. I'll report back.[/quote]

OP, I can't help because I have no experience with cleaning stains from lycra, but just want to say I have a softball player who also cares very, very much about stains and so I spend a lot of time -- a LOT of time -- on scrubbing uniforms.[/quote]

Seems like something she could do.

And maybe in the process, end up caring a bit less.[/quote] plus a million![/quote]

OP and DD is helping me with the suit, don't worry. And I understand why softball mom would end up scrubbing herself. Eventually kids have to go to bed or school or practice and if an adult can do one more round of scrubbing, why not? [b]Laundry is definitely part of parenting.[/b] [/quote]

It certainly is but so is TEACHING your child to do the laundry.  As well as TEACHING your child about reasonable expectations vis-a-vis a level of effort and the end results of said effort.

Of course, if the uniform is always MAGICALLY clean, that's what they'll want, but let them have some skin in the game so they're expectations are proportional and in alignment with reality.

Obviously, this can, and should, vary by age and level of involvement goes up as they get older.
