When stains are as stubborn as a 3 year old

Today is the last day to enter the Milan Maternity Vittoria Dress Giveaway!! Enter here!

My husband and I have this running joke that if one of us is in the room with our kids when one of them decides to...do the deed, when the other person comes back in the room we say "They have a present for you." Clearly, that is not something I'd want wrapped up in pretty paper and a bow on my birthday. My husband, on the other hand, just can't say no to presents, so it works out well for me.

The worst, though, is the blow outs. Nothing was more terrifying to me as a new mother than when I put my son in a cute, new outfit, and he'd have a blow out. I was worried that either it would stain and the outfit would be ruined, or that it would be super hard to get it out. And for a while, it was quite the process to get the clothes clean and stain free.

But it turns out Billy Mays was right when he said that OxiClean is "the stain specialist!" What's easier than filling a soaking tub with some water and OxiClean and putting the soiled clothes in there? Very rarely has it not worked the first time, and if it doesn't I just wash it, then let it soak in some OxiClean again. (and it's typically my fault because I didn't have time to get the clothes soaking before the stain set in) I also put a scoop of it into every load of my kids clothes for good measure, and it helps get out those spit up stains that can show up later as yellow spots if you don't really get the clothes clean. My family members that own and operate dry cleaners even use it there, so it must be good. Not to mention that OxiClean is great for cleaning a million other things, which as a mother, we know that there are lots of spills and such to clean up after.

So if you are a new mom, or an old mom, and haven't figured out the best way to deal with all those stains yet, definitely give it a try.
