OxiClean Max Force Laundry Stain Remover Gel Stick, 6.2 fl oz | Laundry Pretreat, Dried-In Stain treatment, Food & Grease Stain Removal, Color Safe, Chlorine Free

I've been using this recently since my old product ran out, and was attracted by the positive reviews. I was cleaning up and suddenly discovered that all my clothes (and hubby's) were stained, so before I could do another load of wash, I had to use this extensively. I'd say about 80% came out, even though some had been on the clothes for who knows how long. Of course, it would work best if you use it right away, but I couldn't help what we'd had stacked up. The bottle has a shape that makes it easy to use. It's easy to take the cap off, but it doesn't just pop off and have the item leak, so don't get that idea. You just run the top part over the stain, and sometimes you have to squeeze a bit to get it to cover. Not bad. Don't really want it so thin it just pours out, either. I've been using it for several washes now, and am happy with its performance. I have a large washer, so it isn't a size that you'll use up in one sitting. The appearance of the bottle - well, I don't like blue, but it is eye-catching. Again, the size is good for multiple uses, so I find that it has a good value for the dollar. In terms of consistency, it seems to come out pretty thick, but that's good because you want to cover the stains, but the cleanser seems to come out with the same consistency all the time, so it's not like you have to shake it up to get it to work right. I'm happy. I give it an "A". That only stain it didn't handle was an old grease stain, but that was sizable. Must have dropped a whole pork chop on myself. No idea how it happened. But did well on powder stains, dust, dirt, etc. Usual household stuff. Didn't try it with wine/juice because I don't usually have that around the house. You'll have to do your own experiments there. Also, didn't try pet stains because we don't have one right now. Good item to gift to your kids when they're headed to college/first apartment so they can save their clothes from being tossed out, especially if they're used to mom saving the day where their laundry issues are concerned. Have a different product for musty odors.

I just had an elderly loved one go through an extended, multi-month medical episode where her central nervous system just seemed to go berserk, which lead to a nasty combination of nerve-related problems including an outbreak of shingles and a long period of incontinence. While some clothing was deemed a complete loss ... primarily because it was old articles that weren't worth the effort to try to clean ... because of the duration of the episode, much of it wound up being very much clothing that she wanted to salvage if possible. Given the very specific nature of the stains, the typical difficulty of removing such substances, and that it was going to be a while before they could be attempted to be cleaned, I asked to see if I could find something that might be able to do the job. The need for something enzyme based ultimately lead me to the OxiClean Max Force product and then I decided to go with the gel stick rather than a spray. Thankfully, this proved to be the perfect choice. Unlike the spray or powder versions, the gel stick didn't cause any problems with her COPD. No strong sent or vapor at all. She could apply it and then scrub with a tooth brush. The fact the gel can remain on clothing for up to a week meant she could take her time pre-treating the articles and have them ready so I could wash them for her when I visited. Regardless of whether it had been days since the pre-treating ... or just a few minutes .... the results were absolutely amazing. Afterwards, neither of us could find any evidence that the articles had previously been stained. And, this is a worst-case scenario where even a hint of a stain would have still been considered a success. It just would have relegated the article to work/outside duty. But, thanks to OxiClean's effectiveness, all of her good clothes are still in great shape. When you consider just how much it would cost to replace two full loads of laundry ... easily several hundreds of dollars at least ... the $4 cost of this product is an extraordinary value. While she would like me to get her some more to have available going forward for normal use, this particular gel stick still isn't empty. It did all of that a laundry ... with some T-shirts requiring 20% coverage ... and still had some more left over. In advertising, lots of products make some very ambitious claims about how well they work. Thankfully this was one of those great times where it just worked perfectly. Can't imagine anything it could have done better.

This little stick of Oxiclean helps me get stains out of my clothes, my daughters clothes, and heaven forbid my fiance's and my daughter's boyfriend (both Grease Monkeys) that keep that crap off there clothes. I love this I can lay out and take the stick and wipe it over the stain and bingo we are clean after a good wash. It's a small bottle so its easy to use and it smells great. I haven't seen any leakage so its good there also.

This worked far better than I thought it would. I have dropped some tomato sauce on my beige ottoman. Thankfully I could take off the cover and wash it but there were still stains left after 2 washes. I ordered this gel stick after reading the reviews, followed the instructions, and let it sit overnight before washing it again. It got the stains out!! So glad I bought this and will be sure to keep it around for emergency stain cleaning.

It really does remove (blood) stains well- but the smell of this is so awful that even after repeated washings it lingers. I bought this because it seemed easier to use than the spray which sometimes got all over- but this applicator also leaks, since the "gel" is really very liquid, so applying any pressure tom scrub, which is what you are supposed to do, produces a huge amount of product that isn't needed, and a waste. I am going back to the regular spray.OxyClean is a fantastic product, but for me, not in this form.

First time user. The squeeze application works easily. It digs right into the stain. This is a great Oxi-clean product. It's not greasy and has no smell.

I had never seen this before and my daughter brought this home with her from college and I decided to try it on a white jacket of my husband's that I thought was ruined due to a blue stain that was all over the jacket after my son had borrowed it. I had already washed the jacket several times using a spray stain remover with no results. According to the directions of the gel stick, you can apply the stain remover up to 7 days before you wash it. I let it sit for a couple of days and then actually applied a little more right before washing. I was literally shocked after taking it out of the washing machine. Not one blue stain left on the jacket. It blew my mind. I really thought the jacket was done for, but this gel stick really works and I highly recommend. I have already purchased more to keep in my cabinet. Also, I discovered that the price on Amazon is about $1 less than my local grocery store. You won't be disappointed.

Love this stain stick! It comes out easily. It’s easy to spread and see where you’ve put it. Almost always gets the stain out. Doesn’t require much extra time (if any at all) to sit on the stained items. Highly recommend. We have it on subscribe and save we the month.

Este es el mejor quitamanchas que he encontrado. Simplemente aplíquelo sobre la mancha y lávelo como de costumbre. Elimina manchas grasas y orgánicas.

Great product. Removes even old and dried and previously washed stains. Wish i knew of this product yrs ago, i would have saved many items that i ended up throwing away because of stubborn stains that no soap or laundry detergents were able to get rid off. Five stars!

Facilita la vida

It can't perform outright miracles, but it did save several shirts I wasn't sure could be saved.

Literally gets out everything! I keep it by the hamper. Put it on the stain then throw it in the hamper til laundry day.
