    how to remove stains from clothes easily with gain flings 3 in 1 detergent

    With a toddler in the house we’re constantly battling… battling stains in the laundry room!  We’re so excited to be sharing our first time trying Gain Flings!  It’s a 3 in 1 laundry detergent, fabric softener and stain remover.  You simply “fling” one into the washer with each load and allow it to fight stains with the added Oxi Boost and remove odor with Febreze!  Clothes come out smelling clean and fresh with NO stains!

    messy face

    You see that adorable messy face up there?  She has messy hands and a messy shirt too, but thankfully it’s dark.  We don’t get so lucky with lighter colors.  I tried all the natural methods to remove stains and it didn’t work well, so I then resorted to the stain spray.  One brand completely turned the stain into huge brown blob and recently another one ATE her shirt.  It was weird for sure and then I even noticed some other stuff that was in the wash with that shirt had tiny holes in it.  I don’t mind if it eats the stain, but don’t eat the shirt!  I don’t have time to scrub or let things sit.  With the Gain Flings I simply toss it all in the wash and the stains are gone!

    how to remove stains from clothes easily

    Whenever baby girl gets messy now I can simply toss her clothes right into the wash and not have to worry about “babying” her stains, instead I get to give her a bath. 😉  For the purpose of this review we went to the park, played with markers, paint and ate ice cream and cherries to get a few stains.  WHO DOES THAT?  Oh wait, yeah it’s a typical day with a toddler. 😉

    how to remove chocolate stains

    Aside from the stain fighting power we love my husband is enjoying doing laundry now too, I know, I KNOW!  Now that IS CRAZY!  He used to walk into the laundry room and get so confused with what goes first and how much that I would always end up doing all the laundry.  All he has to do now is open up the container, take out 1 Gain Fling and viola, you’re set!  Chris loves to have laundry that smells good and he’s a huge fan of the added Febreze to fight odor.  He works hard all day and then hits the gym right after, if I’m not home when he’s done he tosses it all into the wash and it’s so much easier now that he doesn’t have to use 3 things, just Gain Flings 3-in-1!

    So I bet you’re wondering how well and if those stains came out?  First let me say, it almost took them all out aside from an OLD old stain.  I never treated that stain in fear that it would become a hole with the previous methods we used.   My husband and I were both in shock that it did so well!  The white shirt we allowed to sit for 48 hours with stains and the pink I was nervous since it was chocolate only sat for 5 hours!

    Watch our video to see how well the stains came out! 🙂

      Food stains mostly. I don’t know how, with a mouth as big as mine, I seem to miss actually getting the food in. Unfortunately, my chest catches most of the misses! I also fight with dirt stains a lot during the summer because of gardening. I really don’t know how it’s possible for someone to come out of the garden looking like a mud monster just from picking veggies but I manage to do it!

      My kids are grown now but, I have 4 beautiful grandchildren who somehow thinks their clothes are the hand towels lol. No many how many bags of wipes, hand sanitizer, cotton cloths out they go right for their own shirt or down the front of their leg lol They leave no room for imagination as to what they have ate I can put the whole meal together in my head with 1 look. I wouldn’t trade it for nothing. I also have a husband who does the EXACT same thing. His stains are a little tougher for there is usually grease somewhere on him

      I have a five month old boy, so I battle lots n lots of stains. He is formula fed, and formula and formula spit up really tends to stain. We are also using cloth diapers, so I really have to use the correct detergents. We love Gain and Tide. They work better for us than any others detergents we’ve tried.

      These would be perfect for my husbands greasy work shirts. He works at the train station and they get so gross.
      Thanks for the giveaway! =)
