The first thing you need to do is to act quickly—the longer you leave the stain, tougher it will be to remove. If possible, try to treat the stain right away as soon as it happens. Gently dab the area with a cloth or sponge soaked in cold water.
Once you've done that, it's time to pre-treat the stain using a laundry detergent or a stain remover that's designed to remove diaper stains. Apply the product and let it sit for 5-10 minutes before washing. This is an important step to ensure the stain comes off.
Next, it's time to wash the overalls! Put them in washing machine and use your regular laundry detergent as per instructions. Select a warm water cycle, but make sure the temperature doesn't exceed the recommendations of your overalls' care label. Wash the overalls separately from other items.
Once the wash cycle is done, check overalls for any remaining stains. If there are still some signs of staining, apply a stain remover or detergent directly onto stained area and let it sit for 10-15 minutes. Then, repeat the washing cycle as above.
Finally, it's time to dry the overalls. It's best to air dry them instead of putting them in the dryer. The heat from the dryer can set the stain, making it more difficult to remove. Once the overalls are completely dry, check to make sure the stain has been removed.
Now you know how to get those pesky diaper stains out of your little one's overalls! Follow these steps to eliminate those stubborn stains once and for all.
