Hanging Up My Crown: #StainMasterMom

November 3, 2013 By Lena

I suppose one could argue that it’s more of a title, or role… but since I truly feel like the Queen of Stain Fighting, I’m calling it a CROWN.

Yes folks, it’s been quite an adventure – a Stain Adventure, that is! It all began back in May when I announced my newest gig: Clorox2’s Stain Master Mom. I was set to embark on Stain Adventures – living life to the fullest, without worrying about getting a little messy. And boy, did we get messy! From food fights to barbecue blunders, travel trials and more, both my little guys kept me on my toes… and in the laundry room.

Shortly after my announcement, I had the following advice for readers:

The next time your darling child… 1) Face plants in a bowl of spaghetti; 2) Uses mustard, ketchup and relish… as paint; 2) Decides that a dirt bath is infinitely more fun than a regular bath … stop, take a picture and laugh it off!

Well, one lucky reader actually took my suggestion at face value, and won $3,000 in Clorox2’s Stain Adventure contest! I guess sometime it pays to have a little fun with mess, and $3,000 buys a lot of Clorox2.

Next, I shared my family’s penchant for wearing super bright and colourful clothes. In the past, I’d been hesitant to purchase brightly coloured clothing for my kids for one main reason: children’s clothing is washed A LOT, and this leads to faded, washed-out looking clothes. And one of my biggest pet peeves is a red that starts to look cranberry, or a purple that errs to the side of lavender. Often, the clothes would lose their vibrancy after just one wash, making me wonder if an all-beige wardrobe really was the way to go.

That is, until I discovered Clorox2 Stain Fighter and Colour Booster Liquid. Clorox2 Stain Fighter & Colour Booster is specifically formulated to work better on tough stains and keep your clothes bright. The liquid is specially formulated to lift stains and contains brighteners to give colours a boost. It is designed to be safe for all loads – so you can add it to every load with your detergent for cleaner and brighter clothes.

Of course, the highlight of my partnership with Clorox2 was my famed Stain Party. Invitations were sent out in July, and they were cheeky! And the purpose of the Stain Party? Well, if there’s one thing I always aspire to do, it’s to put my money where my mouth is. I am so impressed by Clorox2, that I was willing to get dirty on purpose… just to demo how awesome it really is!

So, I entertained a few close friends and we had a messy night on the patio. Drinks, munchies and the freedom to kick back and enjoy ourselves, without worrying about life’s messes. Armed with Clorox2 Stain Fighter Products, we weren’t afraid of a little chocolate sauce.

The conversation started flowing, as did the wine. And before we knew it, we were roaring with laughter, just being silly, just being ourselves. And all throughout, I had my camera ready to catch those moments when life got a little messy. 


As soon as the party was over, I pre-treated the stains with Clorox2 before they had a chance to settle in, and had nothing but the highest expectations for the outcome. I was not disappointed! Clorox2 really is The Stain Solution. The washed items were ULTRA BRIGHT, ULTRA VIVID, and most importantly, STAIN-FREE!

Finally, when I collected feedback from ten (10) lucky readers who were given the opportunity to review the entire line of Clorox2 products, it was official: Everyone Loves Clorox2. In fact, two things happened during that particular Rate & Review which have never happened before: 1) I received the testimonials in a timely fashion without chasing anyone for a response; and 2) ALL of the feedback was POSITIVE! It’s a Clorox2 miracle!

And now, it’s time to bid my role as Stain Master Mom adieu. Did I have a blast? You bet. And will I continue to use the products? 100%. In fact, I’m proud to be a Clorox2 advocate in my day-to-day life, as I believe in the products to the fullest extent. A special thank you to The Clorox Company for seeing the mess potential in my life, and trusting me to spread the word about their amazing line of stain fighters.

The only question I have is: what comes after Stain Master Mom? Stain phD Mom? I’ve earned it!

    Loved following the stain-fighting journey with you… you can still dust off your crown every now and then, especially when a super-tough stain lands in your laundry basket :o) Shoot, you should get a cape to go with it – then you could be the “Wonder Woman” of stains LOL

      LOL I love it. I *think* I may actually own a cape from an old costume :)
