As the mother of two active boys I am constantly looking for products that will remove tough stains from their clothes. It seems like they have a knack for getting the worst stains. Grass, red sauces, mud, blood, you name it and I fight the stains! Oxyclean has always been a go-to brand in my home because their products work the best at fighting the tough stains.
When I heard about the new Oxyclean Max Force line of products I was excited to try them. These new stain fighting products brought to you by Oxyclean contain four types of stain fighters that work together to get out even the toughest of stains.
- Polymers bind dirt and soils to suspend them in the wash water and allow them to rinse away.
- Amylase enzyme targets the starchy thickeners in foods that can bind the stain to fabric.
- Solvents and Surfactants dissolve and trap grease and oils.
- Protease enzyme targets protein stains like blood and grass.
The new Oxyclean Max Force line includes two great new products. Oxyclean Max Force Power Paks and Oxyclean Max Force Gel Stick Pre-Treater.
The Oxyclean Max Power Paks boost detergent’s power to help remove the stains that your detergent misses. Active oxygen deeply penetrates fabric fibers to remove stains and leave clothes looking whiter and brigher than detergent alone. The individual paks offer a no mess convenience with the right amount of premeasured stain fighting power. The paks are safe to use in both regular and HE washing machines.
The new Oxyclean Max Force Gel Stick Pre-Treater which you just rub into the stain and it gets the stain out. The new stain grabbing applicator top helps to penetrate stains with 4 types of stain fighters packed into an ultra concentrated gel. This pre-treater offers ultimate flexibility because you can treat stains immediately and wash later – up to 1 week after application.
I tried both of these products and they both worked wonders on my laundry. I just love how bright my clothes came out after using the Power Paks. I even used the Power Paks with cool water and they still did their job! For the tougher stains I used the Gel Stick and it removed the bad grass stain on my son’s jeans with just one use. With the Gel Stick I do recommend letting it sit for at least a few minutes before putting it in the wash so the gel has time to really soak into the clothing. If you are like me and have tough laundry stains or just want to brighten your clothing I would totally recommend these products.
Oxyclean Max Force products are available at most large retail stores. If you would like to try them there is a coupon here for both products.

My son always has greasy looking stains that I fight to no end, and haven’t found a stain remover that can handle them yet, I hope I win! Thanks for hosting this giveaway!
Working in a hospital I always came home with stains. Probably the worst one that I don’t think ever came out was liquid B vitamins. Everything else I would soak out in Dreft solution. This was pre – oxyclean. Now U use oxyclean for stains.

I never seem to be able to cook anything with tomato sauce without splattering it on me. I would have to say they are the toughest stains for me if I don’t remember to pretreat them. Thanks for the review and giveaway!

I have a toddler vomit stain on my sheets and I can’t get it out no matter what I use or how long I scrub it. The sheets are clean but they don’t look clean.
I got my husband this nice cream colored Izod golf shirt. I specifically TOLD him NOT to work on his bicycle (or anyone else’s) with it on… of course, he did, the first time he wore it, and it permanently has a greasy chain ring mark right on the belly. Sometimes I could shoot him!
To make your chrome faucets gleam and shine, try putting a dab of baby oil on a cotton ball. Polish the faucet with the baby oil. this was atip my sister told me

I AM MY OWN WORST ENEMY…. I NEVER SEE A STAIN ON MY BLOUSE OR SHIRT UNTIL I GET INTO WORK AND UNDER THE LIGHTS IT JUST SEEMS TO GLOW AND SAY LOOK AT ME…I EAT A LOT OF SALADS AND I THINK SOME SALAD DRESSING MUST NOT GET TO MY MOUTH
“ring around the collar” is a challenge
My tough stain story is a mysterious stain coming from my washing machine that ruins my clothes.
A tough stain that always gets me is grease. It is hard to get out and ends up spreading to other clothes too.
My toughest stains are the chocolate milk stains Liz gets on her shirts.
I once had yellow mustard stains on a hand embroidered tablecloth. They never did come out.

I hate grape juice stains. Hard to get out.
I can deal with just about any stain except for the soiling on the bottom of white socks.

I just got a stain on my brand new pair of jeans. I think it might be grease from the ring that the toilet sets on. I just went and bought some Oxiclean spray that I hope might help because our other stain remover didn’t help at all.

I have two small children, so I have many tough stains happening around my house. One story would be my little guy getting blueberry smoothie all over his church clothes.

Cat urine is a tough stain to remove, but Oxy Clean can. Thanks.
We were living in an older home that had antiquedated plumbing. That being said, using the washing machine was not recommended for cleaning color sensitive clothing as it was almost guaranteed that those items would come out with a rust colored tie-die!
I washed a tube of chapstick once, and it stained everything.

I take blood thinners and bled all over a gabardine. It was %&$^ to get out.

With an 8 year old boy there are so many stain stories! Tonight he decided to work out on my treadmill (about time someone used it!) lol Anyway, he just had to paint his face with a marker so he could have his war paint on to work out. It is now all over his clothes and my bathroom.

My son is a mustard fanatic and it’s embarrasing when I realize there’s still a stain on his clean clothes as he’s walking out the door to school.
I can’t get hubby’s undershirts white again no matter how much bleach I use! I hate, hate, HATE sweat stains!!!
My kids come homw with school STUFF on their clothes. I have no idea what it is half of the time but I can never get it out.

I can never get armpit stains out of my daughter’s white shirts! I’ve tried everything!
I have a whole pile of clothes that I just can’t get the stains out of – juice, food, grass. Help!
My kids always seem to have dirt and grass stains from playing outside all the time!

Thanks.
My toddler decided blue ballpoint ink would look great on my white silk shirt. Hairspray did not work to remove it, and so the shirt still hangs in my closet, a victim of the toddler artistic touch.
I have 4 kids so everyday is a tough stain day but grass stains are the worst for me.

We were having dinner at a fast food place that has those little paper cups for ketchup, and I dropped one of them, and it splattered all over my husband’s clothes. And after he’d told me that he’d go back for the ketchup, but I insisted on going ahead and getting it…. Anyway, you know how bad ketchup is to stain. Well, he soaked the stuff for about two weeks in OxyClean, refreshing the water every few days, and all the stains came out. It’s amazing stuff!

I was once making stew and it called for red wine so I opened up a new bottle but the cork got stuck and as I pulled it up, red wine spilled all over my white top. I could never get the stain out and had to throw it away.
For our household it’s when the cats pee on bedding or the kids get into dog poop outside. I wash & rewash over & over….it’s so horrible!

New white shirt. New Italian restaurant. Something ended up in the trash, and it wasn’t edible. I think I might have cried.
