  Penaten on my cover! (Jacks1st)
Posted: 5:45:54 pm on 6/8/2009 Modified: Never
 
I was putting penaten cream on my baby's bum and wasn't paying full attention and she set her bum right down on the inside of the cover, so I now have a bum shaped cream mark on the inside of my cover. I tried to wash the penaten off with hot water and laundry soap, but there is still an oily residue. I don't want to use the cover without getting the cream off because I don't want it to transfer to the diaper. Any suggestions on how to get the oily cream residue off the inside of the cover?

Ok, had to laugh when I read this. Probably not funny to you but the visual of a butt print on the cover was cute!

Did you try washing by hand and maybe scrubbing with a small brush or something (like an old toothbrush maybe?). Make sure you have a decent amount of detergent and hot water so that the oils dissolve. Just rinse well afterwards... You might have to do it a couple of times before it's all gone.

The stain may remain there permanently (like a grease stain in a t-shirt) but I really wouldn't worry about using the cover. You'd need large quantities of the cream right in the diaper before it would cause problems and even then it might still not cause problems unless you did it on a regular basis.

You could try a quirt of Dawn dish soap(or any grease absorbing soap) and rub in & let sit for maybe 15 minutes. No water, just Dawn soap.  Dawn pulls the grease & oils out of the fabric. I have Dawn in my laundry room and use it on every oil/grease stain that comes my way. Works like a charm. Try it. It won't ruin your fabric either.

Dish soap is a good idea. I hadn't thought of using it on clothes... I might have to try that
