Nail brush makes a great laundry scrub brush for tiny clothes
Kids' clothes have more than their share of stains. My pre-soaking treatment for stubborn clothing stains does the trick most of the time, but every now and then I need to apply a little elbow grease. I've found that an old nail brush is the perfect tool for the job -- it's easy to hold, it covers more area than a toothbrush, and it's small enough to work on tiny bits of clothing. Plus I have two or three cluttering up the bathroom, so one can happily move down to the laundry room.
(or any Amazon link at Parent Hacks), you throw some change into our tip jar without any extra steps or cost to you. Thank you!
I only have one nail brush and it lives at the kitchen sink. When the kids get food-stains on them, I just strip their clothes off right there in the kitchen and scrub with the nail brush and a little dishwashing liquid. Works great for many stains and grease, but I think I'll try the pre-soak and color-safe bleach method on fudgesicle, which NOTHING I've tried has worked on yet!

I totally agree about the nail brush trick - it's definitely one of the best ways to scrub out stains. Haven't come across the presoak treatment before, so I'll give that one a try.

Found the best item called Tidy-Cup, It has saved my laundry room. It catches those messy drips from the economy sized laundry detergents and fabric softeners that drip everywhere.
It just hooks over the spouts and NO MORE MESS. gave me a place to hold the measuring cup too. Met the owner of the company and you guessed it A WOMAN invented it and she makes it in the USA. Check this out here is there website tidy-cup.com
