T-shirts are not only comfortable but also an easy and practical way to dress up a child. Unfortunately, diaper blowouts can sometimes leave behind stubborn stains. If you’re wondering how to remove those pesky stains, here are five simple steps to help you out:

Step 1: Pre-treat the fabric

Start by pre-treating the stained area with a mild detergent and lukewarm water. Once you have done this, make sure to rinse fabric well to get rid of any excess soap. You can also apply a stain remover or an oxygen bleach product specifically designed for colored fabrics.

Step 2: Soak fabric

After pre-treating the fabric, you need to let it soak in lukewarm water for around 10 to 15 minutes. This will give the cleaning agent time to work on the stain. Make sure to stir the solution every few minutes to ensure that all areas of fabric have been penetrated.

Step 3: Wash with detergent

Once the fabric has had enough time to soak, you should add detergent to the water. This will help to break down the stain even further. Make sure to use a mild detergent that is specifically designed for colored fabrics. For added protection, consider adding a cup of white vinegar to the mix.

Step 4: Rinse the fabric

After washing the fabric, make sure to rinse it thoroughly. This will help to get rid of any residue that may have been left behind. Additionally, you should repeat the soaking and laundering process one or two more times if necessary.

Step 5: Air dry

Finally, once you’ve rinsed out the fabric, you should hang it up in a dry place and let it air dry. Do not put the fabric in the dryer until you are absolutely sure that the stain has been completely removed. If you find that the stain has not been completely removed after first washing, repeat the steps above for best results.
