Removing Diaper Stains from Upholstery
The method for removing diaper stains from upholstery will depend on the type of fabric your furniture is made from. For synthetic fabrics, mix one part mild detergent with two parts water to create a solution. Use a clean, white cloth to apply this solution to the stain and gently blot until it’s gone.
For natural fabrics, such as leather or suede, you’ll want to use a gentler approach. Mix distilled white vinegar with a few drops of mild dish soap, then apply it to the stain with a dry towel. Gently dab the stain until it disappears.
Cleaning Diaper Stains from Wood Furniture
If your furniture is made from wood, you’ll want to take a different approach. First, mix equal parts white vinegar and warm water together. Apply the solution to the stain with a soft cloth and allow it to sit for 5-10 minutes. After that, use a clean cloth soaked in warm water to wipe away the remaining solution.
If the stain is still visible, you can use a mild furniture cleaner to remove it. Before using the cleaner, make sure to test it on a hidden spot of your furniture first to ensure it won’t cause any discoloration.
Preventing Future Diaper Stains
To ensure your furniture remains clean and stain-free, there are a few steps you can take. Place a waterproof cover over the furniture if you know it will come into contact with diapers. You may also want to consider purchasing a make-shift changing table so you have a more dedicated space for changing diapers.
You should also make it a point to clean up any messes as quickly as possible. Gently blot the area with a wet cloth before you apply any cleaning products to the stain. The sooner you catch the mess, easier it will be to remove.
