This is a good one--hope someone can help!
I went digging through my daughter's old newborn clothes today (she is almost 4), and the entire bin appears ruined. :( Several years ago, I carefully washed, dried, and folded everything 0-6 months and put them away in a Rubbermaid storage bin and up into the attic. Today when I started pulling items out, every item which is light pink or white has horrible yellow stains all over the collar and shoulder areas. I could not believe my eyes. My first thought was that something seeped into the bin or water damage of some sort, but it could not be since some clothes were not even touched and others were severely stained. Also, the stains are only on the collar and shoulder areas of all the tops/onesies/rompers.
My second thought is maybe breastmilk has something in it that even though you wash it and it comes clean, something stays in the fibers forever? My daughter had terrible acid reflux/spit up as an infant and it honestly looks like wherever spit up or breastmilk may have once been, it came back. Could heat exposure (in the attic) or just the passing of time have brought back former spit up stains like this?
The real kicker is that nothing in the 6-12 months bin has this problem. Coincides with the fact I stopped nursing around 8 months and she quit spitting up around 6 months? I am no detective ladies, but I am trying to figure this out!
Anyone have any suggestions? I have washed and oxi-cleaned the whole lot, but to no avail. The stains remain.
On a side note, I am crushed. Some of those clothes are so special to us and we can remember exactly where she wore them and how she looked. The whole reason I was looking through the bins was for a special tribute I was going to make using some of her cutest newborn clothes and my own. Not to mention they could have all been used/worn again when I put them in there...
Help! Thanks in advance
I am beginning to sell my daughter's used clothes on eBay, and a couple otherwise nice outfits have minor stains on them. What is the best stain removal product you've found, and where can I get it?
TIA!
Ok, so let me just say YUCK. My father's dog is a nervous Nellie who hides when she sees her own shadow. She also has a history of accidents in the house. It is a bit humorous too - she is an 85-lb German Sheppherd. =)
She had a bladder infection last week and was peeing and pooping in the house (always in the same spot too, the sub floor must be toast by now). Well, the carpeting is not coming clean no matter how many times you clean it and she is still peeing and pooping there even though she does not have a bladder infection anymore. I think she can smell it and it makes her have to go but we don't smell it. We need something that can get rid of whatever she can still smell. I really want to help my mother gets these stains out but I am running out of ideas. It's light colored carpet and my parents have well water. Any suggestions?
What is the best/fastest way to remove water stains from my glass shower doors? I clean the shower doors every week but just can't seem to get rid of the water stains. If you have a quick easy way to clean the doors I would love to hear it. Also, any tips on getting the whole door clean when the doors overlap always blocking a portion on the door?
Ok, so I noticed that a few shirts that I love to wear on the weekends have small little grease stains from when the grease splattered while I was cooking. My question for moms is: do any of you have any tried & true ways to get them out even after the shirts have been washed & dried a few times. I love a few of these tops & really hate to get rid of them so TIA for all input.
