Erase Diaper Stains from Canvas: A Step-by-Step Guide

Diaper accidents are a common occurrence for parents and guardians with young children, but those stains don’t have to be impossible to remove. Here is a guide on how to clean diaper stains from canvas materials.

What You'll Need

• Liquid detergent
• Bleach
• A spray bottle
• Clean cloth towels
• Vacuum cleaner

Instructions

1. Create a stain-removal mixture by combining one tablespoon of liquid detergent, one tablespoon of bleach, and a quart of warm water in the spray bottle.
2. Test the solution on a small non-visible area of the canvas to make sure that it won’t damage or discolor the material.
3. Spray stained area with the cleaning solution and allow it to sit for a couple of minutes.
4. Gently scrub the stain with a clean cloth towel to loosen and remove any residue.
5. Rinse the area thoroughly with clean water to remove any residual soap or bleach.
6. Allow area to air dry completely before vacuuming to remove any loose particles.

Additional Tips

• The mixture of detergent and bleach should only be used on white canvas materials.
• It’s important to apply the cleaning solution evenly and gently, to avoid over-saturating the canvas.
• If possible, use a vacuum with an upholstery attachment to get into any small crevices.
• If stain is particularly stubborn, mix together one part white vinegar and two parts water and repeat the steps described above.
