To get them out of your baby\u2019s clothes, you just need to use a little science.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>An enzyme cleaner with protease or amylase will work wonders because enzymes dissolve proteins. Some detergents have enzyme cleaners in them, like Wisk or Era Plus. Just use a soft-bristled brush to gently scrub the stain away.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Shout_Stain_Remover_Wipes\"><\/span>Shout Stain Remover &amp; Wipes<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"alignright\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Shout-Wipes-case-of-80\/dp\/B00LMII0QK\/ref=as_li_ss_il?ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1470368124&amp;sr=8-1&amp;keywords=B00LMII0QK&amp;linkCode=li2&amp;tag=ksnw-20&amp;linkId=78431109ec1c7f3d503234a6dae7d036\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/\/ws-na.amazon-adsystem.com\/widgets\/q?_encoding=UTF8&amp;ASIN=B00LMII0QK&amp;Format=_SL160_&amp;ID=AsinImage&amp;MarketPlace=US&amp;ServiceVersion=20070822&amp;WS=1&amp;tag=ksnw-20\" alt=\"\"\/><\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>If it persists, give it a dose of an all-purpose stain remover, like <a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Shout-Wipes-case-of-80\/dp\/B00LMII0QK\/ref=as_li_ss_tl?ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1470368124&amp;sr=8-1&amp;keywords=B00LMII0QK&amp;linkCode=sl1&amp;tag=ksnw-20&amp;linkId=1ea7751c935e62b7b0f1ac98b7be92e1\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Shout<\/a> and then wash on regular cycle with a normal load of laundry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Shout stain wipes are perfect&nbsp;for messy toddlers on the go.

Don\u2019t despair. Just make a vinegar solution using 1 part white vinegar and 2 parts water. Apply it with an eye dropper, if possible, or use a teaspoon and drip it directly onto the spot. Let it sit for 10 minutes before applying a combination solvent. Then it\u2019s good to go in for a wash.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You\u2019ll wind up with stains like these thanks to baby oils and creams. A fresh oil stain can be battled with cornstarch or talcum powder. Sprinkle it on and let it absorb the oil. Scrape it off after about 20 minutes, and then apply a pre-treater before tossing it in with your family\u2019s next load.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Remove_Old_Stains_with_Oxiclean_Baby_Stain_Remover\"><\/span>Remove Old Stains with Oxiclean Baby Stain Remover<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"alignleft\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/OxiClean-Force-Stain-Remover-Spray\/dp\/B005N7EUSS\/ref=as_li_ss_il?ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1470368276&amp;sr=8-1&amp;keywords=B005N7EUSS&amp;linkCode=li2&amp;tag=ksnw-20&amp;linkId=c789427dc301fa829c955e0f2017076a\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/\/ws-na.amazon-adsystem.com\/widgets\/q?_encoding=UTF8&amp;ASIN=B005N7EUSS&amp;Format=_SL160_&amp;ID=AsinImage&amp;MarketPlace=US&amp;ServiceVersion=20070822&amp;WS=1&amp;tag=ksnw-20\" alt=\"\"\/><\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>You know these kinds of stains, don\u2019t you?

How did they get there?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Well, we could talk about that, or we could get busy getting those gross stains out!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For this chore, you\u2019ll need <a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/OxiClean-Force-Stain-Remover-Spray\/dp\/B005N7EUSS\/ref=as_li_ss_tl?ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1470368276&amp;sr=8-1&amp;keywords=B005N7EUSS&amp;linkCode=sl1&amp;tag=ksnw-20&amp;linkId=4890227342cbf615939251de31b4e348\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">OxiClean<\/a>.

It&#8217;ll be released automatically during the rinse cycle, leaving you with one less thing to remember. That should take care of things, but in the event it doesn\u2019t, treat any remaining spots with spot remover and rewash. If you can, hang it outside and let the sun\u2019s powerful rays take care of the rest.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_to_do_with_Stained_Onesies\"><\/span>What to do with Stained Onesies<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>If the onesie is soiled all over and you see no point in even attempting to wash it, you may want to just toss it.

Squeeze out the excess water.<\/li><li>Lay the onesie down and apply some type of stain stick to the soiled area. If you just don\u2019t have time to wash it or found it after the stained part has dried, try simply applying the stain stick and washing it\u2014usually that does the trick for me without having to pre-wash.<\/li><li>Personally, the stain stick brand \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Spray-Resolve-Laundry-Remover-Packaging\/dp\/B004S6EG0C\/ref=as_li_ss_tl?ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1470368403&amp;sr=8-1&amp;keywords=B004S6EG0C&amp;linkCode=sl1&amp;tag=ksnw-20&amp;linkId=4d0e7b51a869339a7c911eab40866fdc\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Spray N\u2019 Wash<\/a>\u201d has worked very well for me.
