    Default Cleaning Bibs Question

    For those of you who have/had children...how do/did you keep your bibs clean? I realize that bibs are meant to be dirty, but you know what I mean. Patrick's bibs look like he is the youngest of 20 kids who all used the same bibs. I use stain stick, wash in bleach and NOTHING gets them clean. Some of them I've thrown away recently because they are so gross, and I gotta tell you...Patrick is a really neat eater!

    So, any bib cleaning advice?

    Amy, I don't have kids but I have recently discoverd Tilex!

    Wet the item first, then spay with Tilex, if it is really a tough stain spray it again in about 5 minutes. Rinse in clear water and launder as usual.

    This has gotten grass stains, mud, tomato sauce, blood etc out of my white canvas sneaks and a couple of shirts. Make sure you wet the item first though or it will make a hole just like bleach.

    I use the Tilex Mildew Remover.

    I soaked ds's soiled clothes in Biz (colorsafe bleach) and then put the wet clothes directly into the washer and washed as usual. Seemed to work most of the time...

    Have you tried soaking them in OXY clean. I know it gets alot of food stains out of our clothes.
    I used to keep a 5 qt bucket of Oxy on the dryer to toss the bibs in, then just dumped the whole thing in with the towels and socks and underwear and a little bleach. I'll be doing dd's socks that way again this winter probably.

    Ditto here, only I used Clorox color-safe bleach.  I do the same thing with my dishcloths.
