Shirt stain? Zout it out!

I’ve been on a hunt for a polo I liked since accidentally making a hole in my previous one (will save that story for another product review) and yesterday I found it in the clearance section of my favorite Gap Outlet. There was only one in all the section and frequent with scouring clearance […]

Carpet still stinks

Febreze didn’t work last night; the living room still stinks. It’s hard to say if it smells better, I think I’m too close to it to tell. Needless to say we’ll be shampooing the carpet this weekend. Febreze didn’t cut it for this one.

Carpet stink: Febreze to the rescue?

My dog, Penny, got sick in the living room yesterday. Dear Husband was home when it happened so I escaped the terrible task of having to clean it up. When I got home yesterday I couldn’t smell anything even though my husband said the room stunk. Well, today is a very, very different story my […]

Tilex is my best friend.

I use Tilex for my entire bathroom. It cleans anything and everything. It’s much like bleach but with a spray head. Although it’s much like bleach, do NOT mix with bleach! It becomes a toxic combination and yes you can asphyxiate and die. I had a friend do this once and ask why she felt […]

Tide to go pen on ink stain

OK, thanks Shopgirltanya for handing me the Tide to go pen after reading my last post — I used it on my ink stain that’s on my white shirt today. It did get most of the ink out of the shirt, but has left a water stain effect in place of the ink. I’ll wash […]

Ink stain

This is a question for you all — what is the best product to get out an ink stain? And, what do you all use the Clorox pen for? This particular ink stain in on a white blouse — the one I am wearing today so I’m thinking of trying the Clorox pen, […]

Woolite Oxy Deep Spot & Stain Carpet Cleaner removes stain on futon chair

Recently a friend of my dad’s gave me a futon chair (styled similar to Ikea’s Poang). Apparently it had been sitting in the deep recesses of their warehouse because the twill-like cushion was covered with light yellow spots. I don’t know what that yellow was, nor do I want to know, as I fear it […]

Oxyclean weekend success story #2

I was on a roll this weekend with oxyclean so I must share my second success story. It’s almost too much to believe — two in one weekend.
Anyway, I was washing clothes and had a dirty cloth diaper. It had a few large stains (either puke or poop, not sure which) on it even after […]

Oxyclean and a blood stain

I did my latest oxyclean test today — Blood Stain on a pair of nice slacks. The stains were right where they could be seen, on the thigh area. So, I put some oxyclean in my hands and wet it just enough so that I could smear it into the pants. Then, I let them […]
