Poop

• Soak in warm water with an enzyme soak product. Wash in warmest water safe for stained fabric. If the stain remains, dampen and sprinkle with meat tenderizer. Let stand 30 minutes to one hour. Rub detergent on stain and rewash.

Urine

• Run the fabric, inside out, under cold (not warm or hot) water to flush out as much of the urine as possible. Pretreat the stain with liquid laundry detergent containing enzymes, soaking for 30 minutes in cold water. If the stain is older, you may need to soak even longer, perhaps even overnight. Launder in the hottest water the fabric will allow to get out the stain.

Vomit

• Scrape off any excess vomit from the fabric. Run the fabric, inside out, under the cold water to flush out as much of the vomit as possible. Pretreat the stain with a laundry prewash stain remover. Launder in the hottest water the fabric will allow to get out the stain.
