Remember that slogan? Today’s tip is a quick one from my laundry room. I hate (I really do) spending money on expensive products, they just really cut into the budget. Sometimes they’re worth it. And this one really is. A four dollar bottle of Shout Advanced Gel is definitely worth it when it helps me save half of my four-year-old’s wardrobe. (Yeah, you thought it was going to be the BOY, didn’t you?? Not this time!)
Drama Queen is notorious for stains; always has been. She stains at least half of her stuff the very first time she wears it. Can we say frustrating??
Not anymore.
I had several cute and new things with stains that didn’t come out so I took a shot and bought a bottle. And boy am I ever so glad. I’ve been using it a little over a month and it has removed every thing my four year old has thrown at it, including set in stains that got missed in the wash, AND half-removed stains from who-knows-when. The older the stain the longer you need to pre-treat it, so be prepared. I sprayed it, folded the shirt and left it on top of the washer until the next day. I just kept checking it each day and adding more gel if necessary until I felt confident enough to wash it. A couple of times I washed something and saw a small amount left and sprayed it again. But man, this stuff works.
Works for Me Wednesday is graciously hosted by Shannon at Rocks In My Dryer. Who, by the way, is currently preparing for a trip to Africa - Uganda to be exact. She sounds as excited and terrified as I would be! Stop by and catch up on the happenings and give her a word of encouragement. Oh, and she’s also gearing up for her regular giveaway carnival, which is now going to be hosted from her other site, Bloggy Giveaways. Makes sense, right?
