The Ultimate Stain Removal Guide for Kids' Clothes

Kids are messy, and stains happen. Here's how to tackle the most common ones:

Food Stains

Chocolate: Scrape off excess, then apply cold water and dish soap. Rinse and repeat.

Tomato Sauce: Blot (don't rub), then apply white vinegar. Wash in cold water.

Grease: Apply cornstarch or talcum powder, let sit, then brush off. Wash with hot water and detergent.

Art Supplies

Crayon: Place paper towel over stain and iron on low heat. The wax will transfer to the paper.

Marker: Rubbing alcohol or hairspray can help dissolve ink. Test on hidden area first.

Paint: Scrape off while wet. For dried paint, try nail polish remover (test first).

Outdoor Stains

Grass: Apply white vinegar or rubbing alcohol, then wash with detergent.

Mud: Let dry completely, then brush off. Soak in cold water before washing.

Blood: Cold water immediately! Never use hot water as it sets the stain.
