Did you know that the sunning diapers can actually work like bleach and get stains out? We share how below!
Did you know that the sun can actually work like bleach and get stains out? We had no clue! I had to try it out because I did not believe it. I mean, I understood how it could work because every summer I get great highlights just by going outdoors so there must be some truth to it.
So I had my husband set up a clothesline in the back yard. Oh, The clothesline isn’t for our clothes… it’s for the cloth diapers 🙂 Baby poo stains like no other. And when diapers are white there are a lot of stains. And then you dry them in the sun and they magically disappear!
Where does the stain go?
How to Remove Stains From Cloth Diapers
- Wash your cloth diapers like you normally would.
- When still wet from the wash, take them out to your clothesline in direct sunlight and pin onto the clothesline.
- Let dry completely in the sun and watch the stains fade away!
- If you still have some staining on your diapers, dampen a bit and let dry again.
- Pop the diapers in the dryer for 2-5 minutes to soften them up a bit before putting away.
This also works on white clothing that baby spits up on as well! Or if you have an antique gown or outfit you want to remove the yellowing from. Such magic!
While this won’t work for all stains, it does work for the ones baby creates (until they start eating food and playing in the dirt).
