Extra Details:

Help! I'm so tired of rewashing stained shirts! Currently raising 11-month-old twins, and I'm in the never-ending cycle of washing stained clothes, both the babies' and mine. I tried the highly-rated Miss Mouth's Messy Eater Stain Treater Spray, but the stubborn stains are not budging. Any recommendations?

That sounds exhausting — twins and constant laundry are no joke! If Miss Mouth’s isn’t cutting it, I’ve got a couple of tried-and-true alternatives:

1. Puracy Stain Remover: It's a plant-based option that’s gentle on baby clothes but tough on stains. Works well if you're looking for something non-toxic and fragrance-free.

2. Fels-Naptha Laundry Bar: It’s an old-school classic that works wonders on stubborn stains like food, spit-up, or baby formula. Just wet the stain, rub the bar directly onto it, let it sit for a bit, and toss it in the wash.

This. 

It has a built-in scrubbing brush, so you can efficiently tackle the stains in targeted areas. It works on all kinds of stains - old, faded, new, colorful (like tomato sauce), and vomit 🤣.

FunkAway Laundry Detergent Booster

Don't let the name fool you—it’s not just for odor. This spray is surprisingly incredible at breaking down set-in stains, especially on baby and toddler clothing that’s seen the worst. It uses OM Complex™ technology to lift out organic matter (think formula, food, poop, etc.), and it's designed to work even after clothes have gone through the dryer (bless).

It’s also a great option if you’ve got lingering smells and stains—because let’s be real, those tend to come as a package deal.

Pro tip: Spray generously, let it sit for at least 30 minutes, then wash as usual. Works best paired with your regular detergent and warm water if safe for the fabric.
