We’ve all been there: wearing our favorite top, giving the baby one last squeeze before handing her off to Grandma or the sitter for that all-too-rare dinner out, and wham—you've got spit up on your shoulder.
Or maybe your baby prefers to spew onto the carpet, or a favorite leather chair. Wiping it up with a rag might seem sufficient at first, but then a few days later you notice the telltale signs: you've got spit-up stains on your grown-up clothes.
Don’t fret. There are ways to remove these baby spit-up stains, and you don’t need to buy a special cleaner.
Here’s how:
To remove breast milk spit up stains, try simply laundering the afflicted item the regular way then line-drying it in the sun. If the stain doesn’t go away, dab a little lemon juice on the area and hang out in the sun again.
Formula spit up stains are typically tougher to get out. For these, try sprinkling baking soda on the area and then spritzing on some seltzer. Stand by while the mixture bubbles and fizzles away, then wash normally in warm water. You can tackle more stubborn stains by soaking the spotted garments in dishwashing detergent overnight in a bucket of hot water, and then laundering with a few extra rinse cycles. Or simply add a little dishwasher detergent to the washing machine water.
You can do the baking soda-seltzer trick on carpet, too. Try scrubbing the area with an old toothbrush to remove the caked on bits first. Got some spit-up on something leather? Try dabbing white vinegar on the area using a soft cotton cloth, but don’t oversaturate, and after only a brief moment, wipe the area clean.
As we know, babies don't just spit up on our clothes.....they tend to go through multiple outfits a day for the very same reason. Check out our favorite laundry tips for removing stains from baby clothes.
If your baby is a spitter, it's one more reason to save on buying their clothes at Moxie Jean. And if you take good care of the clothing, you can actually sell your baby's clothes to Moxie Jean: Order a Moxie Jean Mailer Bag at anytime.
