Soaking them overnight before laundering often helps. It loosens the stains.
Oxiclean is good but just about any detergent rubbed directly onto the stain will help.
I always tried to buy very colorful, patterned clothes for my messy eater. That way, the stains blended in to the pattern and didn't stand out as much!
The only other alternative is to feed her foods that match the day's outfit!

Hi Emma... I have a 2 year old son who loves to wear most of his food and often comes home from day care with the paints and day's work all over him. Have you tried the product by Spray 'N Wash called "Dual Power"? It comes in a double bottle joined together. It has an "Oxy" side and a "Stain Combat" side that blend when you spray it on the area. Also, OxyClean has a new "laundry ball" that you just leave in the washer. The two combined have saved me a fortune in baby clothes. Good luck...and enjoy that angel...messes and all!

Oxi-clean/hot water and some patience. may take a couple washings.
i usually let my baby eat naked.. less of a mess to clean up..but when i do have a mess thats what i use. its gotten carrots out..everything.
or try a color safe bleach like colorox 2... or if one white treat the stain with colorox ultimate care bleach.
try to treat the stain as soon as possible too.

my advice would be to soak sraight away in a stain remover then wash on a heavy soil setting my daugter and freind son used to get filthy i only really had to do that and it came out now i got crayons and my make up and NAIL POLISH to try and get out coz shes a little madam food should come out wif a good soak and wash if u dont let it dry in to the clothes maybe undress her if shes eating something messy i used to do that cos my daughter loves spagetti bolognase then u only got to get her clean

My son was a messy eater and drooled a lot when he was a baby. (A long time ago) Everything he had was stained around the neck area. We found that just keeping bibs on him all the time was our best bet. We ended up with about a hundred of them and he used several a day. She will eventually grow out of it.

I guess it depends on what kind of stain it is. Sometimes when I get grease stains I use a little dishwashing soap on it before first before I put it in the washer. It helps.

Try putting a bib on her when she eats.
For ones already stained there are a lot of enzyme-based presoak products like Shout and wash time products like Oxyclean.
If an item doesn't get clean put it in the next wash and repeat. Don't put it in the dryer or you will set the stain and it will be impossible to remove.

Natures Miracle works wonders! You buy it at the pet store. They advertise it for pet stain and odor removal but it does work on all sorts of stains...blood, mud, grass, food. I've used it on just about everything.
Good luck!
