Removing Urine Stains from Overalls
The first step in removing urine stains from overalls is to act fast. The fresher the urine stain, easier it will be to get rid of it. Using a paper towel or rag, blot up as much of urine as possible. If the spill is large, use several towels to absorb liquid.
Once you’ve removed as much of urine as possible, it’s time to treat the stain. There are several household items that can help to remove the stain, including hydrogen peroxide, white vinegar, and baking soda. Mix one part hydrogen peroxide with two parts cold water and apply directly to the stain. Allow the solution to sit for 10 minutes before laundering as usual.
If you don’t have hydrogen peroxide, white vinegar works well too. Create a paste of ½ cup white vinegar and ¼ cup baking soda. Apply the mixture to the stain and allow it to sit for 10 minutes. Rinse with cold water and launder as usual.
If the overalls are made of delicate fabric, such as silk or wool, be sure to test your cleaning solution on an inconspicuous area of the garment first. This will ensure that the solution won’t damage the fabric.
Preventing Urine Stains on Overalls
In addition to knowing how to get rid of urine stains, it’s a good idea to take steps to prevent them in the first place. If your child wears overalls, make sure they sit down when going to the bathroom, as this will help reduce the chance of an accident. You should also encourage your child to go to the bathroom frequently, especially during long car rides or trips outdoors.
