You have probably seen the commercials and heard the claims and might ask yourself, "does it really work?" That was the question I have asked myself about one of the most popular "As Seen on TV" product: OxiClean. Still popular and available at mass merchants everywhere, OxiClean has a full line of products that promise cleaning power.
OxiClean Versatile Stain Remover Powder is a maximum strength oxygen powder created to get tough stains out in your laundry and through your home. The new and improved formula contains 40% more oxygen power per scoop than their previous formula and comes in a more durable, compact rectangular tub, with a more durable scoop making it easier to carry, use and store. It can be added to laundry to boost detergent for better overall cleaning and whitening. It can get out stains that detergent alone can leave behind and help prevent colors from fading. For extra stubborn stains, you can pre-treat your clothes by soaking in a concentrated solution. It can also be used around the home to remove stains on carpets and upholstery.
OxiClean Dishwasher Booster helps the cleaning performance of your dishwasher detergent by removing cloudy film, food particles, spots, and streaks that detergent alone can leave behind. I was unaware until I received this product that phosphates were banned in dishwasher detergents in 2010. You may have noticed that your dishes have been really spotty. I was even saving up for a new dishwasher thinking mine was not working correctly! Your dishwasher is not to blame if this is happening to you. You just need a Booster! For the first wash, it can be added to the bottom of the dishwasher as well as the rinse agent dispenser. It can then be subsequently added to the rinse agent dispenser about once a month.
Review: I wish I would have began using the Dishwashing Booster about 6 months ago when I bought new glasses because they look terrible. After months of cleaning them in my dishwasher they look, well, dirty! The Booster was not able to remove the spots; however, I noticed that my dishes, in general, felt a lot cleaner. There was no leftover residue that can sometimes occur and my dishwasher itself looked like it had been cleaned after use. I am definitely going to use this when I purchase some new glasses and I hope it will keep them from getting spotty.
I am extremely happy with the results of the Oxiclean Versatile Stain Remover. As you may have seen, last week we threw a Friday the 13th party and my daughter wanted to be a "victim". Three days before the party we shredded up some of her clothes and stained them with fake blood. I figured there would not be a more prominent and set in stain than this to see if it truly works. I dissolved the powder and made a highly concentrated mixture and let the shirt sit in it overnight. I did not scrubbing or other washing. I could not believe the results! See for yourself:
 |
| Before: the shirt was stained with fake blood |
 |
| After a night of soaking the fake blood was completely gone! |
