Hydrogen peroxide is another excellent cleaning and disinfecting option. Mix a solution of 2 parts hydrogen peroxide to 1 part water. For lighter stains, mix with a bit of dish soap. While it can be tempting to use it to obliterate a poop stain, we cannot recommend using bleach as a solution.
Rinse off the poop, first! Then run a hot cycle if the fabric's care label permits. Be sure not to wash clothes soiled with fecal matter (even after you have rinsed them) with items from the kitchen, such as dish towels.
