I have a quilt that makes my cat upchuck on it every single time I have put it on the bed, now the cat is banned when I use that quilt (for a few days). I used oxyclean spray and the stain came out. I used it over and over.

Thanks for posting this info. I was told by others to use peroxide to remove stains and the fabric ended up with yellow stains which I now understand were burn marks from the peroxide. Won't be doing that again!

Try nature's miracle, they have a spot remover and something to add to the wash. Not only does it remove stains, but it's an enzymatic cleaner that removes any trace of odor and organic materials.

Give it a good heavy dose of Shout. Let it set about an hour before washing it. Before throwing into dryer make sure stain is completely gone-- if not retreat with Shout.This has worked for me more times than I can count and rarely have I had to treat a stain twice. Once it is stain free it will have been more than clean enough to gift. I don't know about the rest of you but the yukky stuff that continually comes out of babies is far worse then a one time accident of an animal and we wash dry and reuse until they grow out of it.

I agree. I will bet that soaking with Oxyclean will whip that stain. And by the time the baby throws up and poops on it a few times, there will probably be lots of stains. froggyintexas

I totally agree. No way would I give a gift of a baby quilt or any other for that matter that a pet had any kind of an accident on it. And the stain won't come out? Doesn't matter. Donate it to local animal shelter or keep it for your own. I don't care how many kids or pets you've had. Just wrong. Are you going to tell them the cat had an accident on it. If so check out the recipient's reaction and see if they feel a little or a lot insulted.

She also says - Really this was caused for multiple reasons, but one of the biggest is the cotton I used for the front and back of this quilt was quite cheap and low quality backing fabric. That may have had a much to do with it as the peroxide! Also she says she soaked the quilt but not for how long. I just have a feeling she did not actually wash the quilt as it was a show quilt. So in my opinion, using peroxide and then washing the quilt may work, just putting peroxide on it may not.

Or something like a butterfly/ladybug/train/ball etc?

I'm with you on this one. It drives me crazy when I see someones cat on a quilt to be given away, especially to an infant. Yuck!

Big difference here is that they're your kids and your pets.
