This is a compensated review by BlogHer and Arm & Hammer.
Yay, it's spring in Chicago! You know what that means? Mud. Lots and lots of mud. The giant glaciers have finally melted and we're left with a big ole boggy mud pit. The weather is warm and my kids are itching to go out and play.
I look at my kids who are behaving like animals that have been caged since November. I glance out the window at my mucky, muddy backyard. I look back at my kids who are hitting each other with the remote control and gnawing on the couch. The decision is obvious.
"GO OUTSIDE AND PLAY!" I bellow. I know they'll come inside looking like they've spent the afternoon wrestling in a mud pit, but I don't even care about the ruined clothes I'll have to throw away.
Have at it, kids!
Jackson's pants are so encrusted with dried mud, they could stand on their own.
I have no clue how the hood of Brooklyn's sweatshirt got muddy. Maybe she was lying in the yard making mud angels.
Filthy
And here's Clay's shirt. Clay wiped his ketchup-mouth on his shirt. Clay doesn't know the difference between his shirt and a napkin.
Arm & Hammer with Oxi Clean to the rescue!
This stuff is thick! It's a thick, dirt-busting gel, and it works! I LOVE Oxi Clean and haven't found anything better to get my kids' clothes clean. And, believe me, with six kids, I'm a laundry expert! I do four loads of laundry a day, every day just to keep up! Plus, Arm & Hammer with Oxi Clean Power Gel has a fresh, clean scent (for those of us who buy things based on fragrance.)
Check it out!
Oh, it IS pink!
Nice and clean
Even Clay's
I don't have to throw out their clothes after all. I can't wait for baseball season! Bring on the sand and grass stains!

«Oldest ‹Older 1 – 200 of 630 Newer› Newest»oh wow! what an amazing product. I'd love to win two hundred bucks too!!!! random picker pick me :)
Heck yeah I'll leave a comment for a chance to win! Interesting review, the before and afters look great! TFS :)
Great I am the first to comment so I probably won't win. I do like oxy clean stain remover but lately I have made my own detergent so haven't tried the detergent you reviewed.
Wow I am going to have to try that out!! My youngest son is playing baseball right now, and my oldest sons pants ALWAYS look like that!!!
Great job on the laundry. I don't miss those days of young children finding the mud. With mine mostly grown, the laundry challenges are different now. Looks like a great product I should try.
Glad it works for you! Have fun in the mud!
Looks great! I've got two boys and they have been outside in the mud for the last two weeks. Do any of your kids have sensitive skin? I wonder if it would affect kids with sensitive skin.
Oh my goodness I could so use that! I am so tired out Shout'ing out all the stains from my daughters clothes! The worst part of being a mom I think.
That is impressive!
Wow, this would be super to win!
It looks like that detergent helped a lot! I can sympathize with the laundry issues, as I have 3 children and run a childcare. Thanks for the opportunity to win! (And have fun putting all that laundry away!)
I'm impressed! We've got a few pairs of muddy pants that could use a good detergent too!
The napkin/shirt doesn't have any ketchup residue! Wow!
I could totally use this with my 3 year old! Everything is always dirty!
I would love a chance to try this!
Stephanie@eyeballgirl.com
I've never tried that detergent before! I'll have to! My son loves to ruin his clothes in the mud!
I think I know what I'm going to buy at Target today!!! Thanks for the tip!
I just saw a commercial on TV for this detergent! I think Oxiclean is great on stains, so this product must be super. Hopefully it works well on baby spit-up and diaper blow-outs. ;-)

Wow, that stuff works like magic!
I'm trying to click the links to blogher, but they don't work. I went to blogher.com but I can't find what I'm looking for tickity boo! I'll keep watch for new links :)
Keep your chin up, Dawn... God is incontrol, even of laundry :)
With 3 kiddos around here, I'm always looking for something better...I'm gonna have to try it out!
Wow, now that is some amazing stuff. I think that I will have to go get some and give it a try. With a teen everything gets messy and stained. Thank you not only for the review and pics but also for the chance Dawn.
Angie
I'd love to win this giftcard. And I agree, Oxi clean does get those clothes clean!!!
The before and after shots look great! I could use some of that magic in my laundry room.
And $200 would be nice too!
Looks like it did an awesome job!
Wow, awesome give-a-way. Who couldn't use a gift card for $200.00 to buy summer clothes for the kids. Cause come on, when do we EVER buy clothes for ourselves!
That's amazing how clean your clothes got. That never happens here. I always end up throwing out clothes because of stains.
Love it! Anything with Oxi Clean works wonders!
I will definitely have to try the Arm & Hammer with Oxi Clean! Then I can feel like a better mom and let them get as dirty as they want. :)
You sure do a lot of laundry! I may have to try this stuff out.
That's awesome! I love oxy clean as well!
If it would work on my kids' clothes I'd be thrilled! The dirt here stains so badly!
got to love oxi clean!! i work at an animal shelter so you can imagine what a mess i am after work!
Oh, yes. This is the season of stains! Count me in - we could really use it right now!
mychildsview.blogspot.com
Gotta get me some of that detergent! We have stains galore here!
Wow that's good! I have a son that is always using his shirt as a napkin too. He loves coming home w/ grass stains on his pants too. Hubby is allergic to lots of different laundry soaps so maybe I'll try it out & throw in only one of hubby's shirts for a test run. I'd love to win the gift card too what fun!!
I am adding that detergent to my grocery list...looks like it works wonders on mud. We are having the same muddy issues here in upstate NY! Also, winning $200 would be awesome too!!
With 2 boys and 2 girls, I am right there with you on the laundry front! Looks like a great product, even I don't win, I will have to try this out! Thanks for the review!
Wow - no pretreating? Does it come in fragrance-free?
I promise to buy two bottles of arm and hammer with oxiclean when I win the gift card. What could be more fun? Clean clothes and money to spend. Thanks
Wow! That is impressive!
going to have to get that a try!
Well that is impressive, I usually use Tide, Might have to change LOL
Wow that's awesome! I have an 8-month old and he likes to poop on his white onesies :-)
I love the photos you took as well. Did you send your kids out in the mud because you needed some good pictures, or did you already have those lying around and finally have the opportunity to use them? ;)
COOL. I love Arm & Hammer and it's already the only detergent I will use, but I had no idea there was this kind out on the market. I am totally gonna try this.
Corinna
That is a staggering amount of laundry! We'll have to try this on the soccer clothes and toddler "I played outside at school" clothes.
Anything that takes out stains without me having to work too hard is golden in my book!
this would be great for my husbands work clothes
I am impressed with how clean those clothes are! My teenage son lives to destroy his clothes with B.O. and filth!
Bring it on Arm & Hammer! I really could use that soap! Is it HE? Oh and $200 would be good too! Pick me pick me
I could use the $200 on Arm & Hammer! ;o)
I love oxi clean
If I win, I'll buy some Arm and Hammer with the card!!
I should probably give it a try since I now have three children playing out in the mud!
Grass stains are the worst to get out. I work in the garden and always end up getting huge grass stains. Thanks for hosting this giveaway. Nice pictures by the way. I have a hate relationship with laundry.
zelpuz77@yahoo.com
Love this... I love any product that takes kid stains out of clothes. I hate having to get rid or turn good clothes into play clothes due to a stain.
Thanks.

If I win, I'm putting it towards a new dryer. Ever had to jiggle the door to get your dryer to work? I do.
I love that it's effective and smells good! I've added it to my shopping list.
I'll have to keep that detergent in mind next time I run out! That is so awesome.
~Meredith F.
That is pretty impressive!
Baseball season drives me crazy the dirt and grass stains are horrible....thanks for the review.
I'll have to give this stuff a try. I don't have 6 kids, but my 2 sure know how to get their clothes dirty!
Kerry
Wow - pretty good! Did you try to clean their socks with it too?
We had a mud day here this week - I let the kids stomp around in a deep mud puddle with "quicksand" mud at the sides. I didn't even try to save the shoes - they were growing out of them anyway. :-) But I did try to wash the socks. It required some serious prerinsing - I mean, they were dark brown instead of white - and even now, they're a bit... dingy. I think I managed to save the pants, though. :-) (ok, one pair was black to start with, so that helped!)
I need to try that. My 8 month is a hand on eater and no clothing is safe. And my 4 year old loves to roll in the grass.
Hey, that's what I use to get the Oklahoma Red Mud out of my little guy's jeans... I do wonder how Brooklyn got her sweatshirt so muddy!!!
I have clothes that look like that before the wash!! Where do the kids get all the mud?
OxiClean is the BOMB! LOVE that stuff! OxiClean AND $200? Even better!!!!!!
I don't have any kids to clean up but manage to make my own type of messes. Would love that $200 Visa card too.
I'll have to give that a try!! Maybe $200 worth!!!
Lori L.
Pick me pick me!!
I have a kid that's a fire fighter and I still wash his clothes, he's 24 but Mom still does his laundry. He actually came home with this laundry soap because the guys at the fire house recommended it. Works great on his smelly dirty work clothes.
I never win anything but I thought I would post anyways. I like clean clothes.
Wow, that worked great! I do a lot of laundry too, with three kids, a husband who works on cars and a home daycare. Oh...and I live in PA, which has swampy, muddy yards this time of year also.
I haven't tried the arm and hammer plus oxiclean. I use the oxiclean stain remover though! It is awesome! I have NEVER used anything as good. Case in point, the baby had one of the diapers, NO ONE wants to change. I finally talked the hubby into taking her clothes off, I sprayed them, put them in the wash thinking they wouldnt come clean and I would have to trash them. Amazingly, you couldnt even tell they had been "messed" up.
I will definately change if it works so well!
Have a good night!
Amazing!! I need that kinda help with my crew's laundry! I NEVER know what I'm in for! Thanks for the great giveaway!!
I love Oxi Clean and use it for my boys clothes. My 4 year old thinks that the silverware that I give him at meals is just a decoration so I always have plenty of stains to get out.
Wow, that is a great testimonial! I love both A&H detergent and Oxi Clean! And my Chicago suburban backyard is a mud pit too!
Great timing to share about this product! Spring Break will give me gobs of extra laundry! Never get picked, but maybe this time...
I need to try that with my clan. My kids' socks could stand by themselves even after a wash!
Coincedence but I just went to the petstore to find a shampoo for my aging dog that met his needs as a chow with sensitive skin but also my needs as an owner who can't stand the 10 yr. old mutt 'scent' he has. The sales clerk led me to a shampoo with everything he needed and I wanted- which included Arm and Hammer. The shampoo worked wonders on him so I can imagine the detergent. Good deal!
That is awesome! Laundry is such a pain- the never ending job.....
Count me in for using Arm and Hammer AND for a chance to win!!!! Love the idea of both..
Thanks for the review!! I will have to buy some next time I go to the store. My daughter can't walk so she crawls everywhere at school and the knees of her pants are a mess! Maybe this will work!!
Do you know if this would work just as well on set in stains? I'm willing to try anything to save a few things around here.
I have been using A&H for awhile but have never tried the stuff with Oxi-Clean, perhaps I should.
Mud is one of the worst stains! If it works this good, sign me up!! Wonder if they make it in a High Efficiency version...
I like clean clothes and money.
Yah I've been looking for a new product now that all 4 of my kids are officially playing sports. Thanks for the info!
Perfect...I have 2 boys who play baseball..nuff said lol
I am a laundry freakazoid and this Arm & Hammer with Oxi Clean looks amazing! I must buy some!
T.S. Timmons
My two older boys use their shirts as napkins too! My husband has a hole in his lip and the baby, well he's just a baby and can't help it! Not to mention the 20 year old step-son who drops by to do laundry all the time. With all these guys around I go through stain remover like it's going out of style so I'd love to try something new that works and the extra money wouldn't hurt either!
What a great giveaway!! I'll have to look for that detergent. My two year old is addicted to mud. LOL!
Amazing laundry products FTW! :-D
Wow that is one awesome product if it can make all of those clothes look that clean. I would love to win!! :)Kim
I Love oxi clean!!
Four boys. Baseball. Tennis. Soccer. Track. That's what I'm looking forward to in the coming months. That detergent could make the difference in my laundry wars.
how does it work with septic? not cleaning the septic but the clothes that is.
If that stuff works as good as what you say it does and from the photos, it really does make me want to go out and buy some for my home. Sometimes I honestly think all children are dirt magnets.
Okay I gotta try this stuff! Particularly since my kids wipe their hands on EVERYTHING BUT the napkin!
Darla in Wa
Looks like a great product! Will have to try it.
I like Arm and Hammer detergent but have never tried their Oxyclean. I should: I have SEVEN kids, 5 of them boys, and they all think their clothes are their napkins and the mud pit is a bathtub.
I don't think I've ever even see this at the store:( We LOVE oxi-clean...so this would be a huge hit in our house! Especially with a 5 year old girl who can't tell the difference between her shirt and a knapkin!
Wow, it looks like it really works. If the price is good, I'll be trying it next time I run low on detergent (like every other week!)
That is fabulous! I use a stain stick on everything and it takes forever sometimes.
n.clark at hotmail dot com
I will try this for sure. With spring coming here the grass stains are not far behind!
After seeing those pictures, makes me want to try that miracle juice.
Wow that wverything so clean. I will have to give this a try.
I have to try this!! And who couldn't use the extra $ now
This will DEFINITELY be in my shopping cart the next time I hit up the supermarket.
I think I will have to try that! I can't believe it got the ketchup out of the napkin!
WOW!!!! Just added it to my list. With a husband in construction and 5 kids in just about everything else--my kids good clothes quickly becomes play clothes. Would love to win. Of course I'm sure I'd spend the winnings on the kiddos!!
my kids also use their shirts as napkins. where do they learn this stuff?
Sold! Any woman with SIX children who recommends ANYTHING, I will definantly try. I just hope that they have it in 'free' as my children break out if they think about fragrance!
Whammy whammy whammy win! I want to win that card!
Me me!! Pick Me!!!
Three boys + spring = muddy messes!! I'd love some of this!!
I really need to try that. I have so much clothing that comes out stained with my four kiddos!
thesmithclan at stny.rr.com
I love Oxi-Clean. With gardening season soon approaching, I could use a cleaner like this on my own clothes!
Thanks Dawn!
Karen
I use oxyclean in my wash. I love the product. I love your blog too. And I would love to win the gift card.
Wow, that's pretty amazing! I think I'll have to try it around here. With boys/men and dogs, I have more than my share of "oogy" messes to try to get out of the laundry. Thanks for the tip, Dawn!
Love OxiClean and would love any product that could wipe out stains super fast, with 7 kids myself anything helps! Two hundred dollars sure would!
I'm going to pick some of that up this weekend! I always have the hardest time finding a good detergent that smells good! Thanks!
I have never used a Oxy clean and am now going to try it. My 52 year old husband is horrible with stains. So much so that it's his job to pre-treat and get the laundry ready. Of course that means he misses most issues I may have needed pre-treated, or mixing wrong colors...lol. But I will definantely give the detergent a try!
OxiClean is my new bff! love that stuff:)
Wow! That looks like great stuff!!! I sure wouldn't mind the Visa card... LOL!
I will definitely be giving this stuff a try - I have three boys; my 14 year old has ADD and my 9 year old and 4 year old both have autism. So combine boys + special needs + muddy spring + clothes are expensive + single moms don't have much money... yeah, the investment in a good detergent seems worthwhile. Your before & after pics were the selling point. :)
i used arm and Hammer laundry detergent before and also Oxy Clean..but never combined. I better try it..I have a mud packing messy kid too! thanks for the tip!
I'm a mom of four and need all the help I can get in the laundry area! I'll have to try the Arm & Hammer w/ Oxy Clean detergent.
i have found no better stain remover then clorox 2 (free and clear because of the kids excema) and zout mixed with hot water....omg....I can get ANYTHING OUT...no matter how old!
I really need that. I've got two very active boys that find filth everywhere they go. Plus, in NC we have red clay that is so hard to get out. I'll have to try it.
OOOh, that looks good!!! Maybe i'll have to break away from the Tide and try this!
I can't wait to try Arm & Hammer with Oxi Clean. I spend too much time with stain sticks before washing clothes. Oh, and $200 would be nice too!
WOW...that's SO awesome! I'm going to have to get some of that laundry detergent! :)
Laundry is my worst chore. Thanks for the giveaway opportunity.
Mud season is here too - it gets tracked all over the house, and my 3 1/2 year old looks like Pigpen after a day at day care! Will have to check this product out!
Ok if you can really clean all that out of clothes....I must try this stuff!
Oh wow!!! That is awesome. I think I'm going to have to invest in that for my family. Thanks for letting us know!!! You ROCK!!!
Guess I'll have to try this after our next muddy camping trip!
I'll definitely give this stuff a try!
Your kids were playing in the mud and you could still see actual fabric? They wern't doing it right. When my brothers and I played in the mud we were mud covered from head to toe and everything, hair, skin, clothes, was mud brown.
I will try the amazing product, with the $200 I will win! ;)
Will try that soon! my son is such a lil guy and his clothes are already a mess!
Those before/after pictures sold me!!!
Seriously - no pretreating? that would be fabulous. I have a daughter that is very much an outdoor kid and she seems to attract dirt. My son attracts food stains (yes, he's almost 11 and still wears his food (mainly butter noodles)). Heck, even I have eating problems, just ask my kids. At almost every meal it seemed like for quite a while I was dropping food on my boobs once a day (accidentally!) - it was like there was a food magnet in my cleavage. So embarrassing. So anyhow, our house of slobs would love to try this!
With a one-year-old who just learned to walk - crawling is still king outside in the muddy MN spring... Guess I need some of this to wash those knee stains on his pants...
Wow- now I want to try this detergent. Do you know if they have it available in a sensitive skin formula?
I'd like to enter the drawing, please!
WOW I will have to get some of that detergent. My little girl comes home from preschool looking like messy mertle.
I love oxiclean. I throw a 1/2 scoop in my wash every time. I'd love to win the 200 gift card.
I will HAVE to try this...a sophomore daughter who loves to slide in the mud at softball practice...and mud stains on white tshirts...mhmmmm!
I would love to win the money! Oh and I guess the soap would be nice too :) Can it be used in a front loader?
Oh my gosh!! Thats awesome!! I can't believe that stuff got out the ketchup too!! This is going to be my new best friend come baseball/softball season!!
Wow the napkin/shirt is clean?! I think I'd better try this!
Oh wow! I think I'll add that to my Wally World list to pick up this weekend!! :)
My daughter also thinks that her clothes are meant to be napkins! Drives me nuts! email: wood dot online at verizon dot net
Wow! I am impressed. I don't usually like to use liquid detergents - but mud is awful - and it looks like the A&H did a great job.
Oooo, I've never commented b4. I hope I choose the right identity. I have seen worse mud on clothes! ....when my son "fell" into my friends tank. I think I will try this detergent.
Gosh, I remember that commercial, I think for Tide, that proclaimed it even got blood out of clothes. And like Seinfeld, I was alarmed that if there's blood in your clothes, perhaps laundry is least of your concerns.
Then I had my boys. And for crying out loud, if it's not the blood, it's boy gunk - some mixture of sweat, dirt and nature that exists nowhere on this planet except on boys. Seriously.
I'm always looking for laundry solutions!
I'm so glad you showed before and after photos! Love to see it work in a "real" home. Thanks!
Sounds like an awesome product! Pick me - Pick me!
You're awesome - my mom never let me play in the mud!
My 6 year old puts ketchup on everything - some of it even gets on the food instead of his clothes, the tablecloth, etc.
Thanks for the review! It's rainy season down here and towels and rags I go through cleaning off the dogs' paws and the tile floor is disgusting. This is on my list for the next Target run!
I love OxiClean and money!
I might try it, especially with t-ball season starting.
I'm sold!
Count me on the drawing and thank you.
always loved Arm&Hammer looking forward to trying the new product!
If this stuff can get grease out of a boy's clothes, too, I'm all for it! lol Yes, nothing like helping daddy change the oil in our cars. Ugh.
This sounds like a great product. I can't wait to try it.
love it!!
Wow that is amazing! I need some of that!
Love the before and after....hey, it could have been so much worse....
We could sure use help with the laundry!!!
Wow, amazing before and after pics of the clothes! I would love to win!
Looks great!
That's some awesome detergent!
that is crazy. i can't believe it works so well.
Wow, What a great product! I am really going to need that as my kids love to play in the mud.
Wow, I will really have to try this stuff.
Wow, I will have to try that! We live in a rural area and my kids are always covered in Mud and other nasty stains. Before and afters look amazing!
Wow I already love Arm & Hmmer detergent but I'm definitely going to look for this version in the store!
that is awesome! an detergent that works that well deserves a great review!! i would love to win the $200 too!!! i love both of your blogs, i read them daily!!! thanks Jessica
jasonsgrl21@aol.com
Wow, that is amazing. If they have one for sensative skin, and HE I wold buy that instead of tide.
My husband loves the Oxi Clean! He will be so excited to see this! (He is the laundry Nazi).
My biggest laundry challenge is actually from my husband's outdoor bootcamp workouts! Grass, mud, dirt, sweat...yuck!!!
Thanks for the great review and awesome giveaway!!! :)
kmorris at wildcatdiscovery dot com
That sounds like good stuff! I have three boys and end up replacing half their clothes halfway through the season because you can't tell what color they originally were!
oh man! I have two rambunctious girls and a toddler boy who somehow attracts dirt like nothing I have ever seen! I'll have to give that stuff a try. I already use arm & hammer, but oxiclean is a bonus!
Hard to belive the pictures aren't photo-shopped!
Looks like good stuff to me:) Please randomly pick me:)
Seeing as how my 3 children manage to make their clothes look like that after the FIRST wear, and we just bought new Spring/Summer wardrobes of nice, white, pastel clothes....I SOOOOO need this!
I have to check out the new product. I love OxiClean. Please pick me to win $200!
Nice! Maybe I need to try that. My husband also thinks his shirts are napkins. >_<
oh with 4 kids I can use all the help I can get.
OOOOH I Love ME some Oxi Clean!!
I love it when I get a stain out that I thought would be permanent!
If I still had kids at home, I'd rush right out and buy some. My daughter swears by it!
Between my 3-year old and my husband I'm not sure who gets more stains on their clothes. My daughter uses the front of her shirt as a napkin too and after finding grape jelly on the seat of my hubby's shorts last week. I guess he wipes his hands on his butt when he's making sandwiches since I've found mustard on the seat of his pants before too. I would love to try that new detergent and if I win the gift card I will use it to buy some! :)
Very cool and very clean! I have a 3-year-old who seems to love random stains, and a very pukey almost-7-month-old - ANYTHING that gets out stains is welcome!
I could definitely use some of that with 3 boys plus this baby girl that spits up all.the.time.
Yes, but will it get rid of snot? After this years cold season I need a miracle!
