Best kept Laundry Secret! AMAZING!!!!


In preparation for my baby, I pulled out all the baby clothes I had stored away only to find them looking AWFUL! All those spit up marks I thought I had washed out were back and were WORSE! If you are a mom, you know what I'm talking about. The stains GROW!

I was completely expecting to have to throw out lots of the clothing due to these stains(my kids spit up A LOT!) but not with out a fight first.

After some research... on Pinterest... of course, I found the BEST LAUNDRY TIP EVER!

Seriously it took out ALL THE STAINS! I was so impressed- especially since some of the outfits were so covered in spit up stains I didn't think they stood a chance. This saved me lots of money for sure!

Pin It now to save for later!

So all you need is a large pot, water, and a couple scoops of Oxi Clean. 

Directions from Glue Sticks blog Below:

"The Best Homemade Stain Remover for Baby Clothes"
 
Boil a large pot of water (about 1/2 full).
When the water is boiling, turn off the heat. Add a couple of scoops of Oxi-Clean.
Then add the stained clothes.
 (It works on darks too but definitely do separate pots since the darks will obviously bleed). Let clothes sit submerged in water for 5-10 minutes then dump water and clothes into the washing machine and wash as usual. If it's something really soiled, you may have to repeat the process one more time. I've never had to.

I would add one tip... when you add in the Oxi Clean, add slowly because it will bubble up and if you are doing it for the first time like me... you will end up with a stove top covered in Oxi Clean--- however, it helped clean the stove top nicely too. It feels like a science experiment, lol!

But seriously... this is amazing and it is said to work on any bodily fluids... spit up, baby blow outs, sweat stains, blood. I haven't tried it on anything but the baby clothes yet but plan to go through the white t-shirts and see what happens.

UNStoppables Review


First let me just say that not all reviews I do are sponsored. This is one of them! I have received a free small sample pack as many have by mail but that's it. This is just my own honest opinion about a product I LOVE. 

I would absolutely LOVE to be a Downy ambassador for this stuff!

I make my own laundry detergent and I add this stuff to it! It's FABULOUS! And so worth it!
I'm not kidding people... the smell is soooo wonderful(I prefer the blue fresh scent over the purple)! 

So here it is:

PROS:
*When used with Tide Febreeze- the scent will seriously last weeks!! 
My sis borrowed my swim suit that I had previously washed with this stuff, she used the swim suit and then washed it herself(without Tide or UNStoppables) and could still smell the freshness! It is AWESOME!
(With Tide Febreeze the scent is UNStoppable! But still work awesome with homemade detergent)
*You don't need a whole lot for each load
*Can be used to make candles or as air fresheners!
*The bottles are pretty nice to re-use too! I fill them up with my homemade laundry detergent.
*They are in my favorite color! A girl has got to love some color even if it's in a scent booster!

CONS:
*They can be pretty expensive. Near $8 a bottle! Yikes.
Be sure to watch for a sale and coupons to get them for a deal... and stock up!

I SOOOO recommend and have recommended several times, this awesome product! 
LOVE LOVE IT!

Thrifty DIY Laundry Detergent

I ran across this post at the Cantaloupe Corner blog. She has an etsy shop as well so I just wanted to feature this fabulous tip from her blog. I have not tried it out yet but may do so in the near future, when my laundry soap runs out.

She gives you the recipe for Homemade Laundry Detergent and the price per gallon is approxiamately $2 at most, depending on which bar of soap you choose to use. Pin It
