dribble causing mould?

[phae]

my one year old dribbles a lot and spills his juice down the front of his clothes. the problem is, all his clothes have green dots which look like mould down the front! is the dribble causing this? the mouldy dots are only on his clothes, none of the rest of the family get them, and even bleaching doesnt remove it. could anyone suggest a product to remove it, because he's costing me a fortune in new tops.

Why not put a bib on him, which you could change a few times a day?

I would second puzzled54's post.

Our Granddaughter is two now, but I still put bibs on her when she comes round & eats here. It's so much easier to wash or soak bibs in bleach, rather than ruining their nice clothes.

Anyway, Dylon do brilliant stain removers 1&2 now, perhaps you could give those a try.

This is a strange one and I've never heard of it before, but I would be worried because mould contains spores that float in the air and can be inhaled and cause health problems. I suspect the amount of washing you're having to do is preventing that, but it is worth checking with your doctor. In the meantime, I agree with the other comments and would recommend you buy bibs. I hope you win the lottery, because I think you're going to need it with your little one.

my wee guy is 25 months old and still dribbles for Scotland, despite having had all his teeth since 18months old. We guess he's just going to be a drooly wee guy. I just wipe his chin as often as I can, and try to change his tops when the problem gets too bad. He won't wear a bib as the thinks they are for when he's eating (and he's right i suppose!!). The only reason mould would grow is if the top is left damp and unwashed for too long. If you wash and dry the garments within 24 hours you should have no problems with mould. Have honestly never heard of clothes getting mouldy before.
