How to Remove Vanilla Cake Stains
Those early moments are precious and one of the joys of being a mom or dad is watching your darling bundle of joy experience every moment with excitement. You’ve enjoyed all the highlights: the first crawl, the first step and those first words, but many of those precious first moments also have a messy side. Unfortunately, the messy side of parenting can often mean a variety of stains.
Getting Those Vanilla Cake Stains Out
Your baby may grin from ear to ear while devouring his or her first slice of vanilla cake, but sometimes that enthusiasm means little stains rubbed into your little one’s bib or onesie. Vanilla cake might be a tasty treat for your baby, but it’s not so sweet for mom and dad when it comes to stain removal from clothes.
So when feeding time gets a little exciting - by which we mean stained clothes (ok so sometimes a lot of food stains!) - what’s a parent to do when faced with a real stain removal challenge?

Stain removal steps
Remove excess
Brush off any excess from the garment before rinsing under cold, running water. The higher the water pressure, the easier it will be to remove stains.
Pour
Pour Dreft Stage 2: Active Baby Detergent from either the cap or the bottle onto the stain, covering it completely.
Pre-treat
Create a soaking solution by adding 1 ounce or 1 ½ tablespoons of Dreft per gallon of warm water. Soak the item for up to 30 minutes, weighting it down with a white towel to keep it submerged.
Dose
Use the cap to dose the correct amount of detergent, following the instructions on the pack. Pour it into the detergent dispenser if you have a high-efficiency machine, or directly into the drum.
Load
Load the stained clothes into the washer.
Wash
Wash as usual following the instructions on the garment’s care label.
Unload
If the stain persists after washing, repeat the previous steps before using the dryer, as this will set the stain.
