Having three kids produces a lot of stains from messy diapers to ketchup on a nice clean shirt. I TRY to get my kids to wipes their hands on their napkins and for the most part they do. However, kids will be kids after all and just yesterday my son wiped his dirty ketchup mouth on his shirt just so he could have a special sip of my drink. That extra 10 seconds to use his napkin would have taken too long in his opinion.
What can you use to take these stains out of your children’s clothes? We’ve tried Shout products and using them has helped take out some of the elbow grease of cleaning our clothing without taking up a lot of time.

I dont really have a tip I use the sanitze button on my washer and dryer and that helps out alot
My favorite laundry tip is to have two laundry baskets or laundry bags. One for colored clothes and one for whites only. Since I began to do this it saves so much time in having to sort everything out.
Laurie Emerson
Keep a stain stick in the bathroom or bedroom, wherever your family tends to undress, to catch the spills/messes you may not have noticed when it happened.
My favorite laundry tip is to learn to separate clothing accurately to have clothes come out cleaner.
Always separate colors and check pockets!
I always have different baskets for whites, towels & colors
Always pretreat as soon as the stain occurs or as close as possible to keep the stain from setting in.

My favorite laundry tip is so simple! I always put fabric liquid and laundry detergent at the same time, so my clothes smell better 🙂
Run a small empty load through your machine every 50 loads. Use ammonia for the soap cycle, and white vinegar through the rinse cycle. This helps keep build-up off the drum and adds life to your machine.
my favorite tip is to keep your laundry separated by colors then on laundry day all you have to do is put the clothes in the washer and not have to go through a big pile of clothes.
My favorite laundry tip is to use Shout on a stain and let in soak in for at least an hour before I launder it.
My favorite tip is to pre-treat stains as soon as possible before washing.
Would have to say always allow powdered laundry detergent to dissolve before adding clothing.
Always let your stain treatment soak for atleast 5 minutes before starting the wash.
We always wash our normal clothes on a shorter cycle to save water!
Make sure to treat stains as soon as they happen! Also, that they whole family can help (well not a baby, but toddler can help load laundry!) when it comes to getting laundry done!
Also watch the towels seperately in their own load in hot water
my favorite tip.. presoak all heavy stains in cold water 🙂
My favorite laundry tip is to do a load everyday so I never get the feeling of being eaten alive by my laundry pile! 🙂
My favorite tip.. hmm. I wish I knew more laundry tips. I like to add a little bit of oxi clean sometimes for an extra clean. It seems to help.
Really cheap shampoo and a toothbrush will get lipstick stains out of clothes.
Treat stains/spills on fabric right away-don’t give stains a chance to set!
i like using Lava Hand Soap to get weird stains out of clothing – works to get sticky crap out of different materials, and certain stains on white clothes.
Use a cup of white vinegar in the rinse for softer clothes.
ALWAYS pre-treat the stains! That’s my #1 tip!
I would get the Ultra Care flushable cloths.
My laundry tip is make sure you clean out the lint trap in the dryer! It will allow your clothes to dry much faster!
My favorite laundry tip is to not over stuff the washer. My husband did this and broke the belt. You want plenty of room for the clothes to slosh around.
My favorite laundry tip is to pre-soak stains 🙂
Wash the stain out with cold water right away! I follow up with Shout and all of my stains are gone.

My tip would be to not let it pile up! Keep it going no matter what so you do not end up with MOUNDS to do at one time.
My favorite laundry tip would be to always pretreat a stain, most of the time it will come out or look a lot better.
My tip is to treat stains as soon as you see them.
Separate the clothes by color and washing with cold water.
If I have a rough load meaning stained I use the soak cycle on my washer and it really does help on releasing stains.
Treat stains when you take the item off. Stain removal is much easier.
My favorite laundry tip is to spray, scrub and soap using shout and hot water before running it in the wash.
One that has saved me a thousand times and makes our clothese look better is put stain remover on stains when you take the clothes off and then when you wash them repeat, it don’t think you will remember to do it when you wash, cause I forget all the time
My laundry tip is to dry whites out on the line for extra brightness
My favorite Laundry tip?? Have ME as your daycare lady/babysitter and I will do your laundry while I’m there! LOL For real. I love doing laundry. I love the results… I love getting things looking so fresh and clean! It’s so easy to fold and fold while you watch TV, come on ladies! My tip that makes things easier is to have a laundry basket for EACH person in the family! Then, you fold and put each person’s items into their baskets. It makes it so easy to then bring the basket to their rooms. And make them put the clothes away if they are old enough to do so!
make sure no whites are in with colors–like me i have a pair of pink underware–whoops
My favorite laundry tip is to treat stains while they are fresh and new . They are easier to remove then!
I have two laundry tips. One is to add a little baking soda for mildew and the second tip is make the teenagers do their own.
I really don’t have a good laundry tip—except to do it as soon as possible! I have friends who let their laundry sit and then complain when they can’t get stains out, etc. I was always of the mind to do it quick as possible and you’ll have less problems. I’m weird though. LOL
I really don’t have much of a laundry tip aside from the fact that I usually wash my clothes in cold water.
Thanks for the giveaway! =)
pre spot stains with oxi clean
Catch stains before they set in
Wash your jeans inside out.
I like to pretreat stains
Do laundry every day! Dont let it pile up, it gets out of hand that way!
Do not underestimate the power of emptying a can of Coke in your laundry to get rid of grease stains
My favorite tip is always make sure you short the colors.
I use vinigar in the wash to get out ring around the color and oder
