Desitin Ointment / Zinc Oxide Stain Removal from Clothing
You should be able to remove Desitin ointment (zinc oxide diaper rash ointment) from clothing by first scraping off as much of the ointment as possible with a dull knife. Then, pour some baking powder on the spot, give it time to absorb the grease, then brush off. Saturate the stain with liquid laundry detergent or a laundry stain remover. Wash as usual.

This is no good...I just tried it. It's a lot of work and then after all of that it doesn't work. Sorry. What just worked for me was dawn dish soap and a tooth brush. Soft scrubing with hot water then wash as usual. My son got it all over his stuffed animals, jeans, and shirt. And there was a lot of it! So this works...that doesn't.

I will try this. Unfortunately, my son sat on my fabric chair after having Zinc Oxide put on his bum. I hope the above method can work......minus the washing machine step!!

I called the Destin contact but could not get advice about cleaning my Mom's clothes, wheelchair, bath chair after we used Destin cream on her for a rash. She is 89 years old and I am sure we are not the only ones that have had this problem.
