3 Laundry Stain Removal Tips
I admit, I love doing my family’s laundry. Yes, you read that right. Out of all of the household cleaning chores, doing the laundry is one that I actually enjoy.
Today I wanted to give you some of my favorite laundry stain removal tips.
1. Always pre-treat a stain immediately. As soon as it happens or as soon as you notice it…treat it! You can use products like the dreft to go Instant Stain Remover Pen which is super quick & easy to use. You don’t have to launder the garment immediately, but you do need to treat the stain.
2. Don’t rub the stain further into the fabrication! Always take a clean, dry cloth or paper towel to “blot” up any excess. Never rub or scrub!
3. Before using any stain removal product test a small amount of the product on an area that can’t be seen. Not all stain removal products work on all fabrications.
Now, some of my favorite stain removal products happen to be from Dreft. Here is some information about their new line of products:
Pediatricians and moms have trusted Dreft for years to safely launder newborn and baby clothes without fear of allergic reactions or harsh ingredients that can irritate baby’s skin. But, as all moms (and dads) know, there are many times when a quick spin in the washer will not save the favorite blankie or cute onesie. And don’t even bring up cloth diaper inserts. To help parents with the many stains childhood leaves on their kids’ clothes, toys, bedding, car seat liners, strollers, and their own clothes, Dreft has created the Dreft Portable Pretreater Pen for eliminating stains on the go. The Dreft Portable Pretreater Pen safely treats stains and odors caused by formula, spit-up, baby food, diaper leaks and more. The stain remover is safe for all colorfast fabrics, works in all temperatures, and does not harm the flame resistance of children’s sleepwear.
The company sent me 3 of their new products to try out for all of you and after just one week…I was totally in-love with them! As you all know, I have a 5 1/2 year old grand daughter with sensitive skin. We still wash her clothing in the Dreft laundry detergent. I was super excited to try out the new laundry stain removers also made by Dreft.
The Dreft To Go Instant Stain Remover Pen is absolutely fabulous! We have been keeping it in Gia’s travel bag since she goes back & forth from our house to her house. Now when she gets a stain on her clothing, we pre-treat it right away with the to go pen.
I love the big bottle of Dreft Laundry Stain Remover and keep that one in my laundry room. I have to admit, I have been using it on all of our clothing and household linens, not just Gia’s items. Recently I used it when I noticed a makeup stain on one of my bathroom hand towels & that stain came right out!
The little “travel size” bottle is packed in our travel bag because we do a lot of traveling with my other job. I keep it packed with our toiletries so I always know where it is at and it takes up hardly any room.
It is nice to know that Dreft has these products available now out in the retail marketplace. I love that they do the job extremely well and that there are NO foul odors when using the product. They actually smell pleasant!
