Disclosure: I received OxiClean products to treat clothing stains for review purposes and was compensated; all opinions are my own.
I still remember the first time I used OxiClean to tackle clothing stains. My oldest was small and, in a classic new‑mom move, I gave him blueberries without a bib. The white t‑shirt he wore quickly sported large blueberry stains—I figured it was the end of that shirt.
Later that day a neighbor suggested OxiClean. Skeptical but willing to try anything, I accepted when she brought over OxiClean Laundry Stain Remover Spray. I sprayed the stained shirt before bed and planned to wash it the next morning.
When I checked the laundry room the next day, the blueberry stain was gone. I was stunned and excited—I called my neighbor right away and she just laughed and said, “I told you so.”
Since that day OxiClean has been a staple in my laundry cupboard. Now that I’m a mom of three boys, I don’t worry about what they eat or how messy they get—boys play hard and their clothes show it. Instead of stressing over stains, I rely on OxiClean to handle whatever the day brings.
The Best Ways to Beat and Treat Clothing Stains

OxiClean™ Versatile Stain Remover.
The original OxiClean is an oxygen‑based, chlorine‑free stain fighter that’s safe for colors. Activated by water, it releases bubbling oxygen to lift stains and boost your detergent’s cleaning power. It helps rinse soils away and is available in Regular and Free (scent‑ and dye‑free) formulas.
Use it to pre‑treat and soak tough stains, add it to wash cycles to enhance detergent performance, or apply around the home on grout, carpet, upholstery, and outdoor surfaces.
After a day outdoors, my son’s white t‑shirt picked up heavy soil and grass stains. I treated the spots with OxiClean™ MaxForce™ Laundry Pre‑Treater Spray and let it soak overnight. The next morning most of the dirt lifted and only a faint shadow of the stain remained. I re‑treated the area and ran it through another wash cycle, and the shirt came out fully clean. Once again, OxiClean saved the day.
