Kool aid stains and kids


If you have kids, you have kool aid, and we all know how it stains. Here is a few tips on how to get it out of your child's clothes. The first thing you can do if you can, is to catch the stain as soon as it happens. For red Kool Aid the longer it sits the more chance it will remain there. If you catch the stain quickly a commercial stain remover may get the stain out. For a natural way to remove the stain, using vinegar with baking soda will help. Just sprinkle some baking soda liberally on the stain and then flood it with vinegar. This will cause a foaming action that lifts the stain out. You may need to repeat the process until the stain is gone. After doing this you can wash it as you normally would. Bleach is another option. Mixing a quarter cup bleach in cool water, and then placing your garment in the bucket and soaking for thirty minutes should remove Kool Aid. After this method you can wash also as you normally would.
