OxiClean Review

I have a 4 year old, a 2 year old, and a newborn in the house.  Let me tell you, stains are a regular part of our routine!  It seems like my 2 year old manages to get food everywhere except on her bib when she eats.  Occasionally I make my 4 year old still wear a bib when he eats, but he usually tells me "Mommy I will eat very carefully," and I relent.  I'm sure you can imagine how that usually ends up.  My newborn son isn't exactly a messy eater; it's after he eats that's the problem if you know what I mean. :)

I usually spray the stained clothes with a laundry pre-treater and throw them in the washer.  The chances of the stained item actually coming out clean are about 50/50.   I take all the clothes that are still stained and put them in a pile to let my husband figure out what to do with them.  He's got a lot more patience than I do and will try anything and everything to get stubborn stains out.  He's also a perfectionist, and is convinced that he sees stains that I can never see. 

I recently received a 3 lb tub of OxiClean® Versatile Stain Remover Powder and a 4-gallon soaking bin for review, so I waited for the next available opportunity to try it out.  I had my opportunity within just a couple hours.  (I told you stains are a regular part of life around here!)

I didn't take pictures because the stains were a result of my newborn's diaper blowout.  I didn't really think you wanted to see.  :)  But I'll tell you that his shirt, pants, and boppy cover were a nice shade of orange.  All I did was put them in the soaking bin along with the proper amount of OxiClean powder and let them sit until I was ready to do a load of laundry the next day.  I washed them like normal, and all three items came out pristine with not a hint of a stain.  No scrubbing was needed - the OxiClean did all the work!

I have since been adding the powder to the washing machine, and my husband has been impressed with how well the colors of our clothes have brightened up.  That's saying a lot because he's hard to impress!


OxiClean® Versatile Stain Remover Powder also works around the house on carpet and upholstery as well as hard surfaces.  Since it has worked so well for my laundry, I'm hopeful that it will do great on other household stains too!

I think my husband is glad that the OxiClean® Versatile Stain Remover Powder works so well too.  From now on I'll be throwing the stained laundry in the soaking bin and letting the OxiClean do its work.  No more piles of stained clothes for him to mess with!

I wrote this review while participating in a blog tour by Mom Central Consulting on behalf of OxiClean and received OxiClean items to facilitate my review and a promotional item to thank me for taking the time to participate.
