Materials Needed
- Muslin fabric
- Cold water
- Mild detergent
- Stain remover (optional)
Instructions
- If the diaper stain is still wet, rinse it immediately in cold water to remove as much of the mess as possible.
- If the stain has already dried, try soaking the muslin in cold water for 30 minutes. This should help loosen the stain.
- Once the stain has been loosened, apply a small amount of mild detergent and lather it into the muslin fabric. Rub the fabric together gently to create a lather.
- Rinse the muslin fabric in cold water and inspect the area where the stain was. If the stain remains, repeat steps 3-4 until stain is removed.
- If the stain is still visible after washing, you may need to use a stain remover product specifically designed to remove diaper stains. Apply the product as directed and then rinse fabric with cold water.
- Once the stain is gone, hang the muslin fabric to dry or dry on a low setting in the dryer.
Conclusion
Cleaning diaper stains from muslin fabric doesn't have to be a daunting task. With this simple guide, you'll be able to keep your muslin fabric looking its best for years to come.
