OxiClean Max Force Laundry Stain Remover Gel Stick, 6.2 fl oz

I've been using a variant of this product for years and it works wonders on food stains, stains from outdoor play, and those unidentified kid stains that only a toddler can create. The product is incredibly easy to apply - pop off the clear plastic cap, place the product over the stain, press down to release some gel and then rub it around the stained area. Chuck the clothes into the laundry and more often than not the stain will be completely gone when you next wash the item. I only recently noticed the text that indicates that you can wait up to 7 days before washing, making the product even more convenient to use. Apply the product as soon as you spot the potential stain, throw the item in the wash basket, and you're good to go. It's great if you have young kids who constantly spill food (read: pasta sauce) all over themselves and just as good if you're an adult and a messy eater yourself. I always keep this on hand and use it frequently. It's easy to use, inexpensive and works well.

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.

My husband has MANY positive attributes but keeping his clothes clean is not one of them. I use this as a pre-wash treatment. This OxiClean pre-treatment stain remover has helped me get out mustard, ketchup, tomatoe sauce, coffee stains and more. I keep a container in the bathroom near the hamper. Mr. Wonderful has learned to use this on his spotted clothes BEFORE he puts them in the hamper. The day of washing I also give his OMG! how in the heck did he do this spots a squirt of OxiClean Maxi Force. This works every time.

Baseball uniforms take punishment during tournament season—grass stains, dirt, sweat, occasional blood from sliding. I'd been throwing stained uniforms straight into the wash and hoping for miracles. This OxiClean stick actually prevents that nightmare scenario. The gel formula sticks exactly where you apply it instead of running everywhere like liquid stain removers. You target the actual stain without oversaturating the entire uniform. That precision means less product waste and better results. Apply it to the grass stain on his pants, the dirt smudged across his jersey, the blood from that aggressive slide into second—it stays put and actually works. The timing flexibility is genuinely convenient. I can apply this right after tournaments when stains are fresh, let it sit overnight, then throw everything in the wash the next morning. Or I can treat stains days later if I've fallen behind on laundry (which happens constantly during tournament season). It doesn't require immediate washing, which fits real life way better than products demanding instant action. The results are legitimately impressive. Stains that looked permanent actually fade. Not always completely on the first wash, but dramatically enough that a second treatment usually finishes the job. That's way better than permanent stain situations I'd dealt with previously. The six-point-two ounce stick lasts surprisingly long. You don't need massive amounts to be effective. One stick handles dozens of stains before running out. The cost per actual use becomes reasonable when you calculate how many uniforms it saves. The gel doesn't damage fabric. His uniforms look like uniforms still, not bleached-out faded versions of themselves. That matters when you're investing in quality gear that's supposed to last multiple seasons. Tournament laundry used to be depressing—accepting permanent stains as the cost of playing hard. Now I'm actually getting his uniforms clean instead of just less visibly dirty. Tournament season just got more manageable.

So far this OxiClean Max Force Laundry Stain Remover has worked great. I’ve used it on several different stains and it removed them really well without damaging the fabric. Easy to use and effective — definitely keeping this on hand for laundry days.
