Stain Adventures

It’s Official: Everyone LOVES Clorox2!

October 15, 2013 By Lena

When I first signed on to become the Stain Master Mom, I was so excited to share news of Clorox2 products with my audience. After putting them through my own vigorous tests, I felt confident to stand behind a quality brand that should be a staple in every household. In fact, it was my idea to incorporate a Rate & Review program – positive that my readers would love the products just as much as I do… if not more.

And so ten (10) lucky readers received the entire lineup of Clorox2 products, with the simple instructions to go on their own Stain Adventure. Armed with the power of Clorox2, they could enjoy themselves to the fullest – without worrying about life’s little messes. The products were sent to the testers, and the waiting game began.

Then, I started to fret. Even though I have complete confidence in Clorox2, it’s only natural that I was anxious to hear the feedback. What if my readers didn’t have a similarly positive experience? What if the products didn’t measure up to my hype? I knew I had a duty to publish all the results – good and bad – and I crossed my fingers that the reviews would come back quickly.

Turns out, I had absolutely nothing to worry about. Quite the contrary, in fact! Because two things happened during this particular Rate & Review which have never happened before:

1) I received the testimonials in a timely fashion without chasing anyone for a response (thank you readers!)
2) ALL of the feedback was POSITIVE!

Yes folks, it’s official: Everyone LOVES Clorox2!…

Clorox2: The Stain Solution

September 11, 2013 By Lena

Last week, I shared with y’all highlights from my much-anticipated Stain Party. We ate, we drank, we got messy.

Well, as you know, stains happen. Robin had a close encounter with chocolate sauce; Diana was a tad overzealous with ranch dressing, and Sara? Let’s just say she ended up wearing some of the nachos. But since it was a stain party, and I happened to have Clorox2 at my disposal, I did what any good hostess does; I whisked away my guests’ soiled clothing and pre-treated the stains directly with Clorox2 Stain Fighter and Colour Booster Liquid. The liquid works hard 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.


So what happens if you can’t take the shirt off your back – literally? Well, just be sure to pre-treat your stains at your first opportunity. Because the longer a stain lingers, the harder it is to get out. (Trust me, after having two little boys, I know this from experience.) Fortunately, I pre-treated the stains with Clorox2 before they had a chance to settle in, and since I’ve now had experience with the product and have learned to trust its stain lifting power, I had nothing but the highest expectations for the outcome.

I was not disappointed. Ladies and gentlemen, feast your eyes on these ULTRA BRIGHT, ULTRA VIVID, and most importantly, STAIN-FREE tank tops!



Now this may sound strange… and trust me, your eyes are not deceiving you… the colours of the tops are actually more intense after putting them through the wash. That’s because Clorox2 brighteners have been hard at work – giving colours a boost. And although these tops have only been washed once, I can attest that my boys’ summer clothing, which has been washed time after time (after time) over the past few months, is just as bright and vivid as when the season began. It’s quite impressive!…

Who’s Afraid of a Few Stains? Not Us!

August 27, 2013 By Lena

The first rule of the Clorox2 Stain Party is you do not talk about the Clorox2 Stain Party. KIDDING!

Not only do you talk about it – you publish funny little photos like this. Sorry, @ShopwithRobin!


If there’s one thing I always aspire to do, it’s to put my money where my mouth is. You see, it’s not enough for me to simply stand behind a product; I have to ensure that my readers, friends and even skeptics are convinced of the virtues and benefits of the brands I endorse. Now y’all know that I am the Clorox2 Stain Master Mom… but did you know that I am so impressed by the product, I hosted my very own Stain Party – just to demo how awesome it is?

It’s true. I invited a few of my dearest social media friends (ones that live within 20 km of my house, to be precise) to come and enjoy a night of drinks on the patio. At first, I had fairly grand designs for the menu, but in the end, decided to keep it sweet and simple. After all, the purpose of the evening was simply to enjoy each other’s company, and you know, do my guests’ laundry at the end of the party. Just the normal stuff you do at a summer outing, right? Right….

What Happens at a Stain Party…

July 25, 2013 By Lena

… obviously gets published on the Internet the next morning.

Last night, a few close friends and I 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 – right, @ShopwithRobin?

In case you’re wondering, yes, I did actually hover and wait until someone made a mess…. and then I callously snapped a photo of them. But hey, Stains Happen!

Stay tuned for my complete wrap-up of our night, plus before/after photos of the washed clothing and Clorox2 Stain Fighter Products in action. I’ll also announce the ten (10) lucky Canadian readers who will have a chance to rate and review ALL the Clorox2 products! If you haven’t submitted your name yet – simply leave a comment on this post telling me which stains are a doozy to get out.

Until then… wishing you a summer filled with Stain Adventures!

A Party Isn’t a Party Until Someone Gets Dirty

July 5, 2013 By Lena

I’m not exactly sure how I’ll word the invitation on this one.

“Join me for a Stain Party! We’ll eat, drink, and stain ourselves silly!”

Er…. no. How about…

“It’s a girls night out-ish! Drinks on my patio. Let the chips and stains fall where they may!”

Huh. That’s closer, but no cigar. Okay, I think I’ve got it –

BOO-YAH.

If there’s one thing I always aspire to do, it’s to put my money where my mouth is. You see, it’s not enough for me to simply stand behind a product; I have to ensure that my readers, dear friends and even skeptics are convinced of the virtues and benefits of the brands I endorse. Now y’all know that I am the Clorox2 Stain Master Mom… but did you know that I am so impressed by the product, that I’m willing to get dirty on purpose… just to demo how awesome it really is? It’s true!

Of course, it wouldn’t be fun unless I got a few friends dirty too, right??…

Who’s Afraid of a Little Colour?

June 25, 2013 By Lena

If there’s one thing I’m frequently complimented on, it’s the fact that I like to take chances and wear bright colours. Never one to be afraid of standing out, I love the fiery burst of energy when I wear orange; the spunky feeling of pop-pretty pink, the crispness of green apple, and the moodiness of a vibrant purple. In short, colour defines both my fashion sense – and my outlook!

Alas, I was not destined to pass on my keen eye for colour to a little fashionista – instead, I’ve been blessed with two boys who adore living out loud and wearing clothes to match. However, I’ll let you in on a little secret.

In the past, I’ve 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.

So there are two things I’d love to underscore here. First, go on! Let your kids get dirty. Let them go on a Stain Adventure; let them spill juice, eat food with their hands, and play in the wet grass. Clorox2 Stain Fighter & Colour Booster Liquid is better at removing tough stains vs. the leading detergent alone.

Second, don’t be afraid of a little colour. Because while Clorox2 is working to lift those adventurous stains, it’s also brightening your colours and making them more vibrant, freshened, and newer-looking.

After the first few uses with Clorox2 Stain Fighter & Colour Booster Liquid, I couldn’t believe the difference it made in the overall look and feel of my sons’ clothing. Wash after wash, the items resisted fading and kept their intensity – even clothes with patterns, pictures and mixed textures. I honestly feel a little foolish that I didn’t try it sooner; I could have salvaged so many of their favourite items that I’ve now set aside as “home clothes”. Still, that’s my job as the Stain Master Mom – to tell you all about this amazing product, so you too can experience the difference for yourself!…

Live Life… Go on a Stain Adventure… and WIN!

May 27, 2013 By Lena

What if I told you that 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

… you should stop everything, take a picture and laugh it off? (You may not agree to the whole “laugh it off” thing.)

BUT – what if I encouraged you to specifically embark on a Stain Adventure – that is, throw caution to the wind and get dirty? Would you do it?

Answer: You would if you had Clorox2 Stain Fighter Products in your laundry room. And you would if you knew you had a chance to win $3,000!

One of the best things about being the Clorox2 #StainMasterMom is the knowledge that I can live life to the fullest – without worrying about getting a little messy. Because the products are specially formulated to lift stains and contain brighteners to give colours a boost – in fact, they complement your favourite detergent to make it work even better. And, they’re safe for all loads.

(Clorox2 in EVERY load? YES! You heard it here first!)

So, how can you participate in your own Stain Adventure? It’s easy. First, make sure you stock up on Clorox2 Stain Fighter Products – trust me, you can certainly attempt these stains at home, but you’ll want to make sure you have the power of Clorox2 before the stains set!
