Basically, the premise is the same -- both the meat tenderizer and the laundry detergent or laundry pretreater contain enzymes, which help break down the formula stain, which is made of protein, mainly.
I guess the theory in suggesting meat tenderizer is that you can use items that will be in your pantry to remove the stain.
Unfortunately for me, I would have to go out and buy meat tenderizer at the store before I could use this stain removal method, whereas I already have both a laundry pretreater and laundry detergent sitting in my laundry room.
However, this gives you an alternative way of removing the baby formula stain, for those of you who do keep meat tenderizer handy.
Further, I do like how this video suggests some additional methods for formula stain removal.
First, it suggests that if you catch the stain fast enough you may just be able to wipe it away with a baby wipe. Those are generally pretty handy if you are dealing with formula stains -- so I like this tip.
Finally, it suggests using undiluted lemon juice for formula stain removal, if the stain is on a white item, which can then be laid out in the sun.
So, how do you remove formula stains? Please comment below to say if any of these suggestions have or have not worked for you, or what does.
