Okay, ladies, I'm at my wits end. I think I should get disposable clothing for my kids! When they eat fruit, it inevitable drips on their clothes, and I can't get the stains out. I even add Oxyclean to the laundry and it doesn't help a bit. Of course, I put bibs on the kids, but the juice drips on the clothes nonetheless. I can't keep on throwing out clothes. Any suggestions???!!

1. tackle the clothes relatively quickly. Remove and pretreat after meal, and wash within 24 hrs.
2. (If not washing immediately)Pretreat using spray n wash stainstick, or rinse in cold water....alternatively, keep cold clean water for putting stained (but not especially soiled) clothing for a few hours until you wash.
3. when washing, I use oxyclean spray on stain shortly before washing, then oxyclean powder and detergent in load. for fruit stain, I would try washing on the hottest temp setting.
4. do not put into dryer until you ensure the stain is out. If it isn't, either repeat from step 3, or first soak it highly concentrated water/oxyclean hot water solution for a couple hours. then go to 3.
