How do you clean your bibs?

Not sure where to put this. How do you was your babies bibs? Do you use bleach? I soak mine (Just in detergent) and they still stain. Not sure what to do.

Stick them in the sun for a day after washing. Works with nappies covered in poo!

Yup, the sun is great for getting stains out

Sometimes the ocasional soak in napisan is needed, but not very often and only if the sun doesn't work.

DD got spag bol all over her yellow shorts (she does it alot actually

) I washed them, there was still a very noticable, and large, stain on them, but by the time I took them off the line the next afternoon the stain was gone

I usually just throw them in the washing machine with the normal wash - some nappysan sprinkled in in with the wash also helps brighten things up.

As has been mentioned hanging them in the sun for a while helps also. Especially with carrot stains lol

I must have a different sun to you guys, I've never been able to get stains out of anything, lol.

I just wash mine as normal with other clothes.

I spray on some aldi stain remover on the stains, the throw in the machine...works most of the time (if you spray it soon enough after it getting stained)

The sunlight soap bars work really, then i soaked them in nappy san. Never had any permanent stains!

With a sponge!

I get the plastic party tablecloths ($2 from the local bargain shop) and cut them into bibs with a hole for the neck (put a little slit at the back of the hole so you can make the hole small enough). One bib lasts me a week. Then I just throw it out.
