cloth diaper disaster

posted 15th Jan
Ok so everything i read said breastfed newborn poop will just wash off, yeah right! I ended up with smurf all over my washer all over and in every crevice of every diaper. Every diaper is beyond stained. I'm Devastated!! I have no clue what to do i rinsed them all by hand. I'm sitting here crying because i don't think these stains are ever going to come out   they were all a gift i can't afford new ones i can't afford fancy stain remover. I dunno how to fix this. Please any advice would be amazing!

Get some lemon juice and put it on the stains and hang them out where they can get sun. Or just hang them out to get sun stains will fade. Maybe get a sprayer as well.

Have you tried soaking them in bleach water? Then hand scrubbing before washing?

I want to hang them in the sun but we live in an apartment and the sun doesn't come on our side.

try rubbing them with a baking soda paste and then adding one cup of vinegar to your washing machine when u wash them.... u can use plain baking soda and vinegar to clean the poops out of the washer too

well it will bleach them if their the natural color... maybe thats why? you just have to make sure to rinse them really well

You said in the cd thread that you didn't wash them, just rinsed them in the washer. My rinse cycle doesn't do anything. Just put them through a real wash cycle, with soap.
