Old favorite

I have to share with you all an old favorite of mine, before i delve into the many new products i have tried recently.

This little guy has been a "friend" of mine for many years. My mom used it when i still lived at home, and i've relied on it ever since i started doing my own laundry.




<--- The Spray & Wash Stain Stick. (*cue Angelic music*)












This thing is truly a miracle in a little package. I have to say that in the nearly 20 yrs that i've used it, i have yet to find a stain that it cannot get out. And i have 2 boys, mind you ;) I recently turned my MIL onto the product. She had a huge grease stain from pizza on a fave pair of jeans and guess what? Stain Stick won another person over when she removed the jeans from her washer, and the grease was completely gone!

All you have to do is rub this onto a stain, throw it in the wash, and voila--it's like a magnet that erases the stain, so you never know it existed. Their claim to fame once was that you could pre-treat and leave it on for up to 7 days before washing. I typically do not do this, but i have let it sit for a couple days in the past and it still removed the stain, without discoloring the clothing either.

The product has been reformulated through the years, and now boasts "Resolve Power". I haven't noticed much of a difference; it still works great and is pretty affordable--usually around $2.50, and a little goes a long way. They also have a spray product that is nice for collars, but i've found the stick to be the most effective overall.

Recently, my beloved Target has stopped carrying this product, and that makes me sad. They have the Shout Gel, but it just pales in comparison to the Stain Stick. I hope they bring it back.

So if you haven't tried this product, and are looking for something to get stains out of clothing, give it a try!

  1. I use this all the time too Cheryl! It even sits on the shelf in Cam's room. LOL I love that I can treat stuff and put it aside until laundry time, because I'm bad about doing laundry right away for just one little thing. So, ITA w/you--it's awesome!
