When you need it
A stain remover is useful from the newborn stage, when blowouts, spit-up and milk stains are frequent. It stays useful until around 5 years and beyond, as stains shift to food, grass, paint and mud.
What to look for
Look for an enzyme-based formula that breaks down protein stains such as poop, spit-up and milk, and treat stains as soon as you can. A spray works well for quick treatment, while a stain bar or stick is great for scrubbing. Choose fragrance-free options if you prefer. Test on a hidden spot first and store it safely away from children.
Stain Remover: common questions

- When does a baby need a stain remover?
