I am sorry to tell you almost every person who has children has experienced this happening. The bad news is the stains do not come out completely. You could soak the things in the hottest water the clothes will withstand in Oxyclean. This will remove most of the stains.
Reply:first off did you dry them, if you did you set the stains in


some times all you have to do is rewash them. when that happens i would rewash with Wisk, in heavy duty cycle, which on my machine is it soaks for 30 minutes and then 15 more, has a power rinse. air dry, you may have to wash several times, also use a powder bleach such as purex or clorax 2





hope this does help
Reply:Rewash with Tide. Hot water this time. What kind of mother wouldn't check a child's pockets before washing their clothes? Your whites must be so dingy.
Reply:Okay, this is not meant to be rude...I am really serious. What would help the most is if you checked all pockets when you are sorting the laundry.





We had to learn this the hard way too. As far as I know, there is not much that can be done now that it has happened this way, although I will be checking back to see what other people say, as I may discover something I don't already know about.





Anyway, checking pockets is the best way to go. It helps prevent these problems. Also, when I was a kid, my mom got me in the habit of emptying my pockets before I removed my clothes. It is a great habit to be in. So use it for yourself and try to teach it to your children...it saves a lot of problems in the laundry later...





Meanwhile, be sure you get it all cleaned out of the washer and dryer so that you don't get it all over more stuff!





Good luck!
