I've tried various methods and products for stain removal. Some are more successful than others. :) It would take a lot longer than one blog post to discuss this in detail. Let's get right to the point... one of the products I keep coming back to is OxiClean.
OxiClean recently launched a New & Improved Versatile Stain Remover, with dramatically better packaging and more oxygen power. It contains 40% more oxygen power per scoop than the previous formula. And, yes, the package is much easier to use. That's about the only disadvantage to OxiClean that I've noticed in the past - I could easily get the scoop out of the package and scoop out the powder I needed, but I couldn't get the scoop back IN. Now, with the container I received, this is no longer a problem.
I often pre-treat stains, because I usually forget to check if things have washed clean before throwing everything in the dryer, and we all know how easy it is to get a stain out that has been dried on. However, lately, I've had some loads of laundry where I've just added OxiClean along with my regular detergent as a "booster." And it has really helped the laundry come out cleaner. Stains that were there are gone, without extra work on my part. Granted, these were not blood, ice cream, blueberry, permanent marker, or anything like that. But still, it has saved me a bunch of work and time. YEAH!!
Win it!

Toughest stain? That's easy. My hubby though it would 'be fun'(read stupid) to pick up a stray baby skunk because 'they are too young to spray'. Turns out they are not.
