What You'll Need

Liquid laundry detergent
A clean white cloth
Rubbing alcohol
A clean sponge

Step 1: Pre-Treat the Stain With a Prewash Stain Remover

The first step in removing diaper stains is to pre-treat them with a prewash stain remover. This helps to penetrate deep into the fibers of your tank top and break down the stains. Simply spray the prewash stain remover on affected area and leave it to sit for at least five minutes.

Step 2: Wash the Tank Top With Liquid Laundry Detergent

After giving prewash stain remover some time to work its magic, it's time to wash tank top with liquid laundry detergent. You might want to use a gentle cycle or handwash setting to protect delicate fabrics. Once the washing cycle has finished, check the garment for any remaining stains.

Step 3: Use a Clean White Cloth and Rubbing Alcohol to Remove Stubborn Stains

If the tank top still has any stubborn stains, it's time to take action! Dip a clean white cloth into rubbing alcohol and then dab the cloth onto the stained area. Make sure to be gentle and not scrub the fabric too hard. This should help to remove any last traces of the stain.

Step 4: Use a Clean Sponge to Blot the Area Dry

When the tank top is free of all diaper stains, use a clean sponge to blot the area dry. This will help to absorb any excess moisture and prevent the fabric from fading or shrinking when it's washed. Once tank top is dry, it's ready to be worn again!
