Summer stains, be gone! Tips to keep your kids’ clothes clean and bright

Summer is the season of fun, sun, and … stains! Children’s clothing, especially cotton fabric, is prone to stains, making it challenging to keep clothes looking their best. Fortunately, with our tips how to use simple ingredients you have at home, summer stains on your kids’ clothes be gone in no time!

Here are a few tips to help you deal with stains on your kids’ cotton clothing:

1. Act fast! It’s always easier to remove fresh summer stains on kids’ clothing with soapy water.
2. Old stains often require multiple attempts before they disappear.
3. Wet wipes are an excellent way to remove stains before they set in.
4. Laundry soap is a versatile stain remover. Apply it to the stain or soak the garment before washing as usual.

For greasy stains, try these methods:

1. Fresh greasy stains can be treated with salt. Rub salt into the stain, let it soak up the grease, and then brush it off.
2. Washing up liquid is an excellent option for older grease stains. Work it into the fabric, let it sit for a few minutes, and then wash as usual.

Grass stains can be tough, but there are two methods to try:

1. Mix a concentrated salt solution by combining one tablespoon of salt with a glass of water. Apply the solution to the stain and leave it for about 30-60 minutes. Wash and dry the clothing in direct sunlight to fade the stain.
2. Create a paste by mixing water and baking soda, apply it to the stain, and let it sit for 10 minutes. Rinse off the paste and wash the clothing as usual.

If your child loves to play outdoors, grass stains on their knees are almost inevitable. But with Babbily trousers and leggings, you don’t have to worry about those pesky stains. Our pants come with abrasion-resistant knee protection that is easy to clean, so your child can play football or roll around in the grass without any risk of getting their knees stained.

Juice and fruit stains can be handled with ease:

• Mix equal parts lemon juice and vinegar, apply it to the stain, and let it sit for a bit before washing. Lemon juice alone is also effective.

Chocolate stains are a combination of grease and protein, so try these steps:

1. Soak the stain in a salt solution before washing.
2. Apply washing up liquid or laundry soap to the stain and wash as usual.

If a stain refuses to budge, consider getting creative to save the garment. Try DIY tie-dye or sew an applique on the stain to cover it up.

Enjoy your summer, and don’t let pesky summer stains on your kids’ clothing get in the way of your family’s fun!
