You've seen the commercials...you know Billy Macys and his OxiClean legacy. But have you actually tried the product? To be honest, before being given two new OxiClean products to test last week, I never tested them out myself. In mid-February OxiClean Max Force Powder Packs and Pre-Treater Gel Stick hit the shelves. To get ready for their launch, Cool Baby Kid gave both a test drive. And I have just one thought...no one told me about OxiClean before? Really? Is there some cult secret like the one that doesn't allow mothers to share the real facts about what labor is really like? (And because some CBK may likely be pregnant I, unfortunately, can't reveal the true on that one.) But I will share the fact...OxiClean is awesome. The Max Force Powder Packs are cute little packs of, well, powder. Stick them into the washer along with regular detergent to fight stains and make whites whiter and colors brighter. To be honest I don't use them with every load due to the cost of extra detergent. But with kids' clothes that look dingy quick it really does brighten them up. As for the Stain Stick low down. It supposedly tackles the toughest dried-in stains, but since I didn't have any really tough stains to test, I took an old washcloth, drew all over it with green crayon (a totally feasible stain) and rubes on the Max Force. To my surprise, as I was a skeptic about this particular test, voila. Gone. Need I say more? I've been searching for stains to remove ever since.
I wrote this review while participating in a blog campaign by Mom Central on behalf of OxiClean and received a sample to facilitate my candid review. Mom Central sent me a gift card to thank me for taking the time to participate.
