OxiClean arrived just on time when we had 2 loads of laundry to do. Our washer is not the best as the landlord wouldn't do anything to change it. So lately I have been thinking about something that will boost my laundry detergent to perform better and make up for our under performing washer.

Oxiclean Versatile Stain Remover is in powder form and comes in a easy-to-open tub, with a scooper inside.

There are several ways to effectively use Oxiclean Versatile Stain Remover.  The most common way for me was to use it in laundry as a booster. I tried it in 2 different ways:

- I filled the washer with water and added Oxiclean Versatile Stain Remover AND detergent. Washed it normally. Results were better than if I had used detergent ONLY. Clothes were cleaner especially socks came out really clean! But some stains were still present.

- The next time I used it, I dissolved in water as per instructions and let some clothes with really stubborn dirt, soak in it for 2 hrs. Then I followed the process I tried for the first load. Yes, you add Oxiclean Versatile Stain Remover AND detergent again. Wash it in the washer normally. This time the stains were totally gone. It is best to presoak the clothes if you see visible stains.

Sometimes I do not have time to soak and wait. So I soak them around midnight just before going to bed and load them in the washer as first task in the morning. It doesn't make me feel like I have to wait around.

You can also pretreat clothes with stains. Just dissolve the powder in water and apply on stain, rub, wait for 10 mins and wash as normal.

Oxiclean Versatile Stain Remover can be used on carpet, upholstery and hard surfaces. There are some exceptions to this so make sure you read instructions carefully! If you have light colored carpets and some very curious, creative children at home, you should consider having this on hand. It will do some amazing tricks on stains. 

Bathroom floor is another area where I see myself using this once a month. I made a solution as per instructions and I made it a bit milder so as to not having it to be rinsed out excessively. I just spread the solution on the tiled floor and used a mop to scrub it. Let it stand for 10-15 mins. Then I used a mop again to just rinse and wipe out the solution. It takes a good 30 mins to clean a little bathroom like ours, with the Oxiclean Versatile Stain Remover. I wish that it did not foam as much, so that it can be cleaned easily from hard floors.

Depending on your lifestyle, you can use Oxiclean Versatile Stain Remover in different ways.

In my house, Oxiclean Versatile Stain Remover has certainly bowled me over with results, efficiency and performance in the laundry department!
