getting out the poop stains

[jessaroo]

we are using bum genius diapers. We wash them with sensisoap and dry them in the sun. We have been using them for one month and the poop is leaving a stain. Any suggestion on how to better clean them?

Do you do a cold rinse cycle before you wash? If not, you could try that.

[jessaroo]

yup- I do the cold soak/rinse and then a hot wash and still stains

Wash them, but don't dry them. Then take them out, and give them a good squirt with Oxy-clean, and then wash them again.

Unfortunately, though, sometimes poop stains are just a fact of life with diapers. It doesn't mean the dipes aren't clean-- if they SMELL clean, they are. Stains are just stains. But if they really bother you, I've used Oxy-clean to take stains out of outgrown diapers before storing them, and it worked well. I don't think I'd bother on an ongoing basis, though. Stains happen.

I spray off all poopy diapers w/ a diaper sprayer & only wash 1x a week & so far almost no stains. It wont help w/ the ones that are already stained, but it could save you from more stains

BumGenius! allows bleaching once per month with regular chlorine bleach.

I use OxiClean free in every wash and have no problems with staining.

Also use a Diaper Sprayer on all poopy diapers before putting in the pail.

the only reason I was concerned about the stains was because I wanted to try and resell them when we were done. Not only are they stained but they are starting to come apart-after 6 weeks of use. what a BUMmer!! Thanks for the tips.
