Sunshine!

So, now you know all about Maggie's blow outs...and you can imagine all the staining on the clothes. I would get these cute outfits on Maggie and then poop would ruin them. We were up at our cabin this summer with my mom and sister and her family when I found out a big time tip! Maggie had one of her blow outs and it was all over my skirt too. What I had been doing was spraying the spot with stain remover, soaking it, spraying again with remover and then washing it. Well I did a load up at the cabin and after all that the stains were still there. My mom suggested I lay the clothes out in the sun. So, I didn't dry them and just put them on the table in sunlight! When I went back to get the dry clothes the stains were gone. The sun had bleached them out (but the color in the clothes was just fine). My mom said that when she had us she used cloth diapers. She used to wash them and then put them out on the line to dry. She remembered that the cloth diapers would always be white because the sun bleached out the stains. This worked on my skirt too! Haven't tried this with any other stains, but it does work on poop and now my clothes and Maggie's clothes are nice and clean!
