My daughter got diaper cream all over her pants the other day at day care. I just ran them through the wash and none of it came off. I just tried scrubbing if off and that did not help. I now have them soaking in oxi-clean. These are bored pants and would hate to ruin them. Any suggestions??

What can I do next?

Hi D....did the oxi-clean work?

I do have some ideas if it did not but may I ask a few questions first about the pants and the cream?

warmly, M.

if the oxyclean doesn't work, try scrubbing them with dawn dishsoap, i think i used it before to get desitin off my clothes.....it works pretty well for greasy stains on clothes!

Lestoil works well on all sorts of stains, including oil based ones. I buy it at Meijer, in the laundry aisle. It does not smell great, but it works wonders!

dawn dish detergent cuts grease... I use it on my cloth diapers when they get diaper cream on them.

Vinegar will cut the grease/oil and should get the diaper cream to come off without damaging the pants. (plain ol' white vinegar)

I have tried this with other things, not with diaper cream however. Powder dishwashing detergent. I know it sounds crazy but, it gets everything else out without bleaching or runing the clothes & if you think about it - it takes grease off your dishes. Make a paste or soak the item in a lot of it. I just buy the store brand (usually Meijer's) and that is all I use it on - clothes. I have yet to find a stain that it doesn't work on.
Good Luck.

I spray all spots on our laundry with Shout before washing. I buy the huge one at Sams Club so I don't have to worry about running out. I also use the Trader Joe's brand of oxiclean and Tide detergent. I can get out almost anything with these.

You will need a greast dissolver, you can find them in the laundry aisle, or the cleaning aisle. Some cleaners , like fulsol (sp?) are good for clothes and cleaning.
