How to Treat Diaper Leak Stains Before They Set

Stain Removal

Diaper Leaks: Tackling Stains & Odors:

  • Diaper leak stains need to be treated as both a stain problem and an odor problem at the same time, which is why they often need a slightly different approach than a simple milk stain. Treat the affected item as soon as possible rather than letting it sit in a laundry hamper, since the longer it sits, the more the stain and smell set into the fabric.

Essential Tips for Diaper Stains:

  • Rinse the affected area under cold water first to remove as much as possible, then apply a stain remover formulated for this kind of stain and let it work before washing. For a significant leak, it’s worth washing the item separately from the rest of the laundry load rather than with other clothes, both to avoid any color transfer and to make sure the wash cycle is fully dedicated to clearing that one heavily-soiled item. Avoid mixing bleach with a baby-safe detergent — the two aren’t designed to work together, and bleach on its own isn’t appropriate for most baby fabrics.

Rinse immediately with cold water
