MomSelect: Helping Me Survive The Summer (GIVEAWAY)

Winners are:mscoffee77
It's summertime, and MomSelect knows that means two things; lots of day trips, and lots of stains. Thankfully they've got me covered on both counts. To help with my laundry stains, they sent me the new 96-ounce size bottle of all Small and Mighty.

Now, when I'm faced with a laundry basket full of ketchup, mustard, and ice cream stains, I don't have to worry. I have all Small and Mighty with Stainlifter. The new 96-ounce bottle is 3X concentrated, so it does 96 loads of laundry! We usually buy all Free and Clear at a warehouse club. It's a mammoth bottle that I can barely lift, so I'm really excited about the new smaller size. Available at most major retailers for $12.99.

To help me with my summer trips, MomSelect also sent me a fabulous Hayden-Harnett Convertible Flight Tote. With a few quick zips and snaps the bag goes from this

to this

Perfect for trips to the Farmer's Market, the pool, or the park. It holds as little or as much as you need it to. It even has a padded compartment to hold your laptop, since we all know bloggers can't go anywhere without their lappie!

**GIVEAWAY**
MomSelect wants to help you get through the summer too! They've provided me with two coupons for all Small and Mighty 3X concentrate (up to $6.50 retail value), and I'm passing them on to you! To enter, simply leave a comment telling me the worst stain you ever found in your laundry basket!

Make sure I have a valid way to contact you, should you win. Comments will close at midnight, July 1. Two winners will be chosen by random.org drawing and notified on July 2. Coupon valid only in US.

Ink...on a brand new blouse! Made my eyes well up with tears...so sad. I love doing laundry though...I love clean coming out of the washer!

Leslie M. said...

The worst stain EVER EVER in my Laundry basket came from my daughter's Backpack! She had left a ziplock back with God knows what in there and it just turned into a science experiment.. after an untold amount of time.. it burst (I am humiliated to say) and turned her sweater BLACK!
I found this EXPERIMENT by the smell!
I Use All Free and Clear and sure enough with some pre- soaking.. it got the gross mess clean.
I wanted to die of with that smell!

My daughter got a good talking to! She was in 3rd grade~! She is 18 now and it NEVER EVER happened again! GAGSVILLE!
ewwwwww

sweepmom said...

The worst stain I have come across are those mystery yellow stains you find on baby clothes.

deedleweedle said...

I would have to say the time when the kids colored their shirts with magic marker.

sphinx63 said...

My husband left a pen in a shirt pocket once, and I didn't catch it when I washed it. Luckily, it was clipped to the pocket, so it stayed in the shirt pocket and ink ruined that shirt only, and not the rest of the load. Thanks!

clc408 said...

Grease stains are the worst for me. I always get them on nice clothes that I shouldn't wear while cooking.

Deborah Wellenstein said...

The worst was when my sons were playing sports, and they would get bashed around some. So it was a lovely combo of blood and grass stains

clynsg said...

Red koolaid stains were the worst for me.

clynsg at yahoo.com

Mar said...

I can get out almost any stain except for one: mayo. My husband likes to wear dark-colored t-shirts (navy, black,and charcoal grey), and he has little mayonnaise stains on each of them because I have no idea how to get them out!

Absolute worse stain was BBQ sauce on my daughter's new white pants and shirt on vacation at the beach without anything but water to douse it in!!
hi_joan_elliott(at)hotmail(dot)com

Carolyn Ellis said...

Pizza Sauce is the worst especially when the kids forget to tell me it's on there.

Sunnyvale said...

Blood, when I cut my finger on a pop open can, I got blood down the front of my shirt, so removing it was not only a chore, but a reminder of the pain of the event.

allysona said...

my husband works outside and the swaet stains on his white work shirts are impossible

janetfaye said...

The worst stain I found is oil on my son's clothes.

Sarah D. said...

It was horrible - a tube of lipstick, red, of course, went through a huge load of wash. After I cried, I dealt with it. We only lost a few items.

KPort207 said...

The worst would definitely be potty stains from potty training..won't go into any other details. Thanks.

Monica said...

baby food! especuially squash and sweet pototos!

vboackle said...

ink is my biggest challenge.

marthajane said...

I guess it's a toss-up between red brick dust on white baseball pants and black bicycle chain grease on a light blue shirt.

kmg365 said...

The worst stain? Well, my SO has worked in several different factories, so there's always some "mystery stain" in his work clothes.

Tammy N in TN said...

The worst stain? I don't know, but I swear that today I found some dried concrete on the inside of my husband's underwear. And he doesn't work in construction. Hmmmm.

dandmrobbins said...

my husband often leaves chapstick which melts and leaves stains as it goes through the cycles

mom2gabnnat said...

Melted chocolate bar is probably one of the worst stains I've found on my kids clothing. Red Kool Aid is another bad one.

Nose bleed stains for sure.

The worst stain was grape juice on a beautiful linen blouse. It was awful.

Secret Life of a WAHM said...

I am potty training my daughter and it is not going to well. There are more accidents than not. I could really use this:)

Melanie said...

Probably when I found that someone had spilled grape juice ALL OVER my white jeans.

Tammy said...

My husband gets grease on his clothes all the time at work, but the worst stain I deal with is the red clay dirt that the kids get on their clothes.

The worst stain I ever found was some kind of black mud stuff on my sons light colored jeans from quad riding!

KMG852 said...

has to be cat vomit or pit stains - neither wants to come out.

Jinxy and Me said...

A broken ink pen. Grrrr....

Nancy said...

Not really a stain, but imagine my shock when I reached into the hamper to get the dirty laundry and found a lizard hanging on the side. When my son heard my scream, he told me his pet had been missing for two days and he didn't want to upset me.

Andrea B said...

That would be a "magic loogie".

Thanks for the giveaway...
Our 10 year old son old spent a week visiting my sister in Atlanta GA; upon his return, he dumped his six pairs of Georgia clay stained white socks into the bottom of the laundry basket where they sat until we did the wash a week later...our efforts at removing the red clay stains were...mixed, at best.

Crazycat said...

I would have to say grass stains are the worst.

Red Wine. Also, pen marks. They are nearly impossible to get out without some kind of stain remaining- but I have been there and if you get early enough there are times where youc an barely notice it!

The worst stain actually comes from doing the laundry. I have well water so I get rust stains on all my whites.

The worst stains I find are from cat vomit! One of our cats vomits often -- has his whole life (10 yrs). He does it on everything, but seems to prefer bath mats and blankets!

Thanks!

The worst stain mysteriously appeared on a white tee I had only worn once. I was only washing it because of odor, not stains. I could never get those spots to go away.
