Accidents happen with kids, and diaper stains are an unfortunate reality. Fortunately, it’s not too difficult to get rid of these stains if you know the right methods. Here’s a simple step-by-step guide for removing a diaper stain from your pillow.

Step 1: Pre-Treat the Stain

The first step is to pre-treat the stain. Using a mild detergent and warm water, apply a small amount to stained area. Massage it gently into the fabric for several minutes, then let it sit for 10-15 minutes. This will help to break down the enzymes and neutralize the stains.

Step 2: Wash the Pillow

Once you’ve pre-treated stain, it’s time to wash the pillow. Most pillows are machine washable, but if yours needs to be hand washed, use a gentle detergent and cold water. Place the pillow in the washing machine (or sink) and let it agitate for a few minutes. If you’re handwashing, make sure to get deep into the fibers before rinsing.

Step 3: Dry Pillow

When pillow is done washing, it’s time to dry it. Make sure to shake it out to fluff it up before placing it in the dryer. It’s best to use the lowest heat setting possible and don’t leave it in for too long. Also, try to avoid using fabric softener or dryer sheets as this could make the stain more difficult to remove. When pillow is finished drying, check to make sure the stain has been removed.

Step 4: Repeat, If Necessary

If the stain isn’t completely gone after one wash, don’t worry. Simply repeat the steps a few more times until stain is gone. Remember, it’s better to air on the side of caution than to risk setting stain!

By following these simple steps, you should be able to easily get rid of diaper stains on your pillow. With a little bit of patience and the right techniques, you’ll have a stain-free pillow in no time!
