How to remove stains from baby clothes

Baby clothes see more food, milk and sick than anything else in the wash. These are all protein and food stains, which is exactly what Enzyme Powered is made for. It's a pre-treatment, so the clothes always go through a normal wash before they're worn again.

Old milk stains that have turned yellow

Milk and formula stains often turn yellow weeks later, especially on clothes put away for the next baby. Treat them the same way. Dried-in marks may need a second pass: re-spray, wait 1–3 minutes and wash again.

Cot sheets, blankets and bibs

Enzyme Powered is suitable for baby clothes and bedding. Use it on anything washable, like sheets, mattress protectors, sleeping bags and bibs, then wash as normal.

Top tips

  • Treat stains as soon as you can. Fresh milk comes out much more easily than old, yellowed marks.
  • Keep the bottle out of reach of children.
  • Air-dry and check before using a dryer.

Questions

Yes. It's a pre-treatment spray applied to the stain before the garment goes into the machine, free from bleach and suitable for baby clothes and bedding. Always wash the garment before wearing.

Dried-in marks often need a second pass. Re-spray, leave for the full 1–3 minutes and wash again rather than extending the working time on a single application.
