Operation Diaper Cream

So, I had promised to post new pictures this weekend but didn't exactly get around to it.

We got a lot done around the house despite a bit of a hiccup. Okay, large hiccup.

During efforts to get as much done as possible, an entire tube of diaper cream made it into a load of Alexis' laundry. Basically it looked like she had gotten into a paint fight and came out with white splotches all over... however, we didn't notice it until everything had gone through the dryer.

I soaked everything in a bathtub full of Dawn dish soap for half the day to cut the grease and then scrubbed every white spot with a Shout Gel scrubber.

It was tedious so I didn't bother with some things... wash cloths, bibs, white onesies. And then split it up into two groups. Did about half of it on Saturday night & half on Sunday.

I'm pretty happy with the results and the effort put into it... There was a moment I was thought it would all end up in the trash but knew I had to try something. The tricky part, though, is that diaper cream stains look very different when you're scrubbing them, pulling wet clothes out of the wash and when they're dry.

For the most part, the white is gone. There are just a couple items that came out with what look like grease stains. Batch #2 is in the wash right now... we'll have to see how that goes... but I think the Shout has soaked into my skin... somehow, I can taste it. YUCK!
