Sunshine...not just for poop stains!

I mentioned in a previous blog that when Maggie was super little (she is getting bigger by the second) she had these crazy poop blow outs.  I thought her cute little outfits were ruined, but my mom mentioned that when we were babies she used cloth diapers.  She would wash them herself and then hang them to dry outside.  The sun would bleach out the stains.  This worked wonderfully for me and I'm happy to say that Maggie's clothes are free of poop stains.  I don't have the blow out problems anymore, but she has started eating baby food.  Sweet potatoes and peas are the new stain problems.  I tried the sunshine trick and what do you know...the stains disappear.  I can't believe it!  I wash the clothes and instead of putting them in the dryer I just put them in the sunlight.  The stains bleach out and it takes no time at all.  By the time the clothes are dry the stain is gone.  It does not change the color or pattern of the outfit, so all in all a perfect remedy!  Definitely worth a try!  I don't think it works on old stains, but I haven't really tried it either.
