Guide Review - Oxiclean Laundry Stain Remover Review

Laundry--- I brought out the pretty pink capri pants my daughter had dusted the car with. After applying the Oxiclean and washing with my regular detergent, the capris were once again pink and pretty. I used the Oxiclean on the polyester baseball pants dotted with stains of grass, mud, snow cone, nachos, Gatorade, and general filth. The pants were spotless out of the washer. Hidden stains that my children neglected to tell me about were removed even though the stains were set in.

Upholstery--- Finally I decided to try it on a set of upholstered dining chairs. The chairs, a secondhand gift, were stained with at least a years worth of meals. I had little hopes to save them and intended to donate them to the trash. It took a little more effort on the tough stains but after two applications, gentle rubbing, and a full rinse, the chairs looked brand new.
