One of the most difficult parts of doing laundry while raising children or caring for children is the presence of poop stains .
In this article, we will introduce in detail how to effectively remove stubborn poop stains and stains, and what to do if the stains are long gone.
I hope this will help you relieve the stress of washing and keep your clothes clean in your busy daily life with childcare, housework, nursing care, and work.
Reasons why poop stains and stains are difficult to remove
There are two reasons why poop stains are difficult to remove.
The first is the presence of protein contained in poop.
Poop contains proteins that stick to the fibers of your clothes, making the stains more stubborn. Proteins are not water-soluble, so regular washing cannot effectively remove them.
The second problem is dryness .
As poop dries over time, the stain can harden and become woven into clothing fibers. Dry poop stains cannot be removed by washing alone.
For these reasons, it is important to use the appropriate detergent and pretreatment to effectively remove poop stains.
How to wash poop stains
Wash immediately if dirty
Over time, poop dries and soaks into your clothes.
Therefore, wash your clothes as soon as possible after they have poop on them.
Wear disposable or rubber gloves when cleaning poop stains.
If you must wash your hands with your bare hands, wash and disinfect your hands thoroughly.
Use toilet paper to remove as much solid dirt as possible.
Soak and wash with enzyme-containing detergent
Washing poop stains with your hands is something you want to avoid if possible.
In particular, you need to be careful when your pet has an infectious disease, as their excrement may contain viruses.
After removing the solids, soak the clothes in a cleaning solution containing enzyme-based detergent and oxygen bleach.
By using hot water, the cleaning effect of the detergent increases and stains are removed better.
■Steps for soaking and washing
- Thoroughly dissolve alkaline powder detergent and oxygen bleach in hot water of about 40℃.
- Apply bar soap to the dirt and massage it.
- Soak the poop-stained clothes in the cleaning solution from step 1 for 1 to 2 hours.
- Wash in the washing machine (rinse at least 2 times)
- Dry in the sun
*Please be sure to check the washing label before soaking.
*When putting clothes in the washing machine, wash them thoroughly with a small amount of clothes and rinse them at least twice.
*If the stain is heavy, leave it on for a longer time.

The ultraviolet rays in sunlight kill bacteria and break down dirt, keeping your clothes whiter and cleaner.

Points to remember when washing poop stains
Always wear rubber gloves
Poop can contain bacteria and pathogens, and direct contact poses a risk of infection. Protect your hands and prevent the spread of infection by wearing gloves.
Do not use hot water
High-temperature water effectively kills bacteria, but poop is a protein stain, so if you use hot water over 50 degrees Celsius, the stain will harden and become difficult to remove.
Also, be sure to follow the washing instructions on your clothing, as high-temperature washing can damage the fibers.
Points to note when treating diarrhea caused by infectious diseases such as norovirus
Diarrhea caused by infections such as norovirus contains viruses.
Be sure to wash your clothes separately from other clothes to avoid infecting your family.
Be sure to wear a mask and gloves before touching clothing.
In the case of norovirus, it cannot be effectively disinfected unless it is sterilized with a chlorine-based disinfectant or bleach .
If you suddenly put your clothes in the washing machine and wash them, bacteria may adhere to the inside of the washing machine and spread the infection, so first wash them with chlorine bleach.
*Chlorine bleach cannot be used on anything other than white clothing.
*If it is very dirty, discard it.
