Prepare the Coveralls for Washing

Before attempting to remove the fecal stain, begin by preparing coveralls for washing. Start by brushing off any solid matter as much as possible and flip the coveralls inside out to ensure that the stain is not spread further after washing.

Removing Feces Stains with Soap

The first method involves using a laundry detergent or soap directly on the stain. Start by dabbing it with a soapy solution and then lightly scrubbing the area using a damp brush or cloth. Once the surface is rinsed with cold water, dry flat.

Using Baking Soda and Vinegar

The second method is to use a combination of baking soda and vinegar on the stain. Prepare a paste by mixing 1 part of vinegar with 1 part of baking soda. Apply the mixture to the stain and allow it to sit for 10 minutes before lightly scrubbing with a light brush. After rinsing with cold water and allowing it to dry flat, the stain should have been removed.

Using Hydrogen Peroxide

The third method is to use hydrogen peroxide on stain. Start by dabbing some 3% hydrogen peroxide directly onto the stain and then letting it sit for 10 minutes. Once the time has elapsed, gently scrub the stain with a damp cloth or brush and rinse with cold water. Again, allow the coveralls to dry flat.
