Mothering for me has been a crash course in stain management.
I definitely underappreciated the relative stainlessness of my earlier adulthood. I expected certain obvious stain culprits – ketchup, blueberries, bodily fluids. But others took me by surprise: bananas, watermelon, smashed peas. And then there was that time a green crayon found its way into the dryer…
All that to say, I’ve spent a lot of time on this. And the best way I’ve found to eliminate stains is with pure Dr. Bronner’s Sal Suds directly on the stain.
The earlier you can get it on, and the longer you can let it sit, the better the results. But this has even worked on set-in stains that I’ve been slow to discover.
Sal Suds cleaner shows >60% biodegradation after 28 days per ISO 14593.
