When it comes to my kids and their clothes, one thing comes to mind. I have a couple of messy kids! Peeking around the corner and taking in the current state of my laundry room, the floor covered in mounds of dirty clothes waiting to be washed; I’ve come to realize, there are two main reasons behind all our laundry stains. One- my kids can’t seem to find their mouths with their forks and spoons, so they end up wearing half their meals. (It’s even worse when they’re in school and too busy talking to their friends instead of paying attention to what they’re doing.) And two- they spend quite a bit of time outside getting dirty, refusing to take off their socks, so they’re constantly running around in their white socks, in the dirt and grass, creating very dirty socks!
I’ve been using the Original OxiClean Versatile Stain Remover to get tough stains out of our clothes for years. It’s so easy- just add a scoop to your load and OxiClean boosts the cleaning ability in each wash. It really does a great job!
But what about the tough stains like grease, ketchup or chocolate? I have a trick for that too!
Just last week, it was my Hubby’s turn to pick up the kids from their Taekwondo class. When I pick them up, I have the kids remove their uniform and put it in their backpacks immediately. When Hubby picks them up, he lets them wear their uniform home and then feeds them messy stuff (in his car) like Taco Bell, chocolate and red drinks.
So yes, my son’s uniform last week? Covered in chocolate!
To treat a tough stain like this, I first scrape away any leftover stain and make a “paste” with a bit of warm water and the OxiClean Versatile Stain Remover. Apply the paste to the stain, giving it a good scrub with a brush and let the stained item sit for a while with the OxiClean paste. Then I wash the item in warm water.
The chocolate stain came right out and his uniform looked brand new! (For the toughest stains, you might need to let the OxiClean sit on the stain overnight.)
Another favorite OxiClean product is the OxiClean White Revive. I love white sheets, but after several washes, they can begin to look dingy. The White Revive Can totally brighten my sheets and keep them looking new without chlorine.
The best news is that OxiClean in not just for laundry! You can use the Versatile Stain Remover on carpet, upholstery, even hard surfaces like counters and grout!
Have you tried the OxiClean Stain Remover? What is your favorite tip for keeping your kids’ clothes looking new?
