Yellow stains are tough baby stains to remove. They are enough to make new moms or mothers-to-be want to throw everything out and start fresh. When nesting or dealing with newborns, attempting to get the yellow out just seems like too much of a chore to take on. Because of this, many clothes that could be salvaged are tossed, and clothes that will only be worn for a few weeks are repurchased in hopes that stubborn baby stains do not happen again. Something that does not need to happen when the secret is known as about how to remove yellow stains from baby's clothes.

The yellowing or yellow staining on infant clothes can happen for several reasons. There is storing the clothes for too long and the completely dried milk proteins surface, there are blowout stains, or there are food stains. Any and all of which can be difficult to get out with sensitive skin detergents alone.

This means that while effective with day-to-day dirt and drool, detergent should not always be the go-to for difficult stains alone. But it can be used to remove the substance that got the yellowing out of the clothing once the treatment process is done instead.

Here are ways to remove yellow stains from baby's clothes.

White Vinegar

With its acidic nature, white vinegar makes for a tough opponent for yellow stains. But it cannot be used alone. It needs to be diluted to not ruin the integrity of the fabric.

According to The Gentlemanual, mixing a spray bottle with 50 percent water and 50 percent white vinegar and spraying it on the yellow will help to begin to start to break the stain up. The entire area of the stain should be drenched.

Allow the solution to sit for one hour.

Once the time has passed, wash the clothing in cold water. And if the stain is not totally removed, repeat the process.

Baking Soda

When baking soda and water work together, they become a formidable match for just about any common stain on clothes. Including yellow ones. This is thanks to the water increasing the pH level in the baking soda, making it more acidic than in its original state.

According to the Family Handyman, six tablespoons of baking soda and one-third cup of warm water need to be combined to make a paste. The paste is then transferred to the yellow areas on the baby clothes and allowed to sit for 30 minutes.

Once time has elapsed, the baking soda should be removed from the clothes and placed into the washer.

If the stain persists after the first application, the clothes should not be put in the dryer because that will only help to set the stain further. Instead, the process should repeat to help remove the yellowing of the clothing.

Lemon Juice & Salt

For those with tough yellow stains on baby clothes, lemon juice and salt may be the answer being searched for.

According to Mulberrys Garment Care, stains from whites can easily be removed by squeezing lemon juice over the stain and sprinkling salt on top of that. The salt should be gently rubbed into the stain to agitate it. This will help to remove the stain as the citric acid from the lemon helps to lift it out of the clothing.

Repeat as many times as necessary until the stain is gone.

Because lemons are a bleaching agent, this combination should be used on whites only. But, if the clothing item is going to be tossed if the stain does not come out and everything else has been tried, it may be worth a shot as well.

OxiClean

With the use of sodium carbonate in its formula, in addition to a detergent to help agitate the spot, OxiClean is very helpful when it comes to the removal of yellow stains in baby clothes.

According to Thompson Tee, the way to remove yellow clothes from baby clothes using OxiClean is to put the agent into a bucket of water. Submerge the clothing for three to six hours.

Once time is up, the clothes should be put into the washer with detergent and a scoop of OxiClean in the washer drum with the clothing, per the publication. This will remove any stains and get clothes looking like they are sparkling new.

The Sun

If yellowing refuses to remove itself from white bay clothing, putting clothing in the sun may just do the trick to remove the stubborn stain.

According to KidSpot, the UV rays of the sun "break down the molecular structure" of the stain. This causes stains to fade and whites to look whiter all as a result of direct or indirect sunshine.

Colors will tend to fade in the sun. As such it is not recommended to try this method of stain removal on anything but white.

Borax

For stubborn yellow stains on clothes, a soak in the combination of Borax and water will help to remove those stains without a hitch.

According to Home Decor Bliss, half of a cup of Borax will need to be added for every gallon of water for the soaking solution.

Once clothes have been added, they will need to soak for 30 minutes to an hour.

After removing the clothes, the staining should have disappeared. If it remains, however, make another batch of soaking solution and repeat the process. Do not dry until the spot is gone.
