Steps to Take for Diaper Stain Removal
- As soon as possible, blot away any excess moisture or liquid from the stained area with a paper towel. Do not use rubbing alcohol or any other type of solvent as this could worsen the stain.
- If the diaper has been on tuxedo for a while and the stain has already dried, use a blunt blade or dull knife to scrape away any solid residue.
- Using your preferred laundry detergent, lightly apply it to the stained area and let sit for 10-15 minutes.
- Using a soft brush (like an old toothbrush) gently scrub the stained area. Be careful not to apply too much pressure - you don't want to damage the fabric.
- Rinse the detergent off with cold water and allow fabric to air dry.
- If stain still remains, a laundry pretreatment product could be used to help lift the stain. Follow the instructions on the label.
The Benefits of Preemptively Treating Tuxedo
When expecting to use a tuxedo with a young child, the best way to keep the fabric safe is to pre-treat the garment with some kind of stain guard or fabric protectant. Doing this can help reduce the effects of any potential spills or messes before they occur. This will make it easier to clean up any mess if it does happen, reducing the time required to get it back in pristine condition.
