Our Minikin Smock Bibs are celebrated for their waterproof and stain-resistant qualities, making clean-ups remarkably easy. However, on the rare occasion that a stubborn pasta sauce stain challenges your bib, here’s how you can show it a little more TLC to maintain that spotless look:
- Prompt Action: Quickly blot away any excess sauce with a paper towel or cloth, taking care not to spread the stain further.
- Avoid Heat: Do not wash your smock bib in warm water as this can set the stain.
- Gentle Scrubbing: Mix a small amount of cool water with dishwashing liquid and gently scrub the stained area with a soft-bristled brush (like a toothbrush).
- Dab Off: Use a clean cloth to dab the mixture off the bib, lifting the stain.
- Apply Stain Remover: For those particularly stubborn spots, apply a colour-safe stain remover such as Vanish Oxi Action spray. Allow it to work its magic for 15-20 minutes then gently scrub the stained area with a soft-bristled brush again.
- Dab Off: Use a clean cloth to dab the mixture off the bib, lifting the stain even further.
- Rinse or Machine Wash: Once the stain has been treated, either rinse the bib under cool water or place it in the washing machine for a cold, gentle cycle if needed.
Our Minikin Smock Bibs are designed to withstand the vigour of mealtimes, but if you find yourself facing a resilient stain, this method should help keep your smock bib looking immaculate. Remember, the key to keeping your smock bibs in pristine condition is swift and careful stain management.
