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!

I actually just bought the Arm & Hammer with Oxi-Clean about a week ago and am loving it. Great Product!
Clean laundry and spending money! Sounds like a great combination to me.
WOW! It's funny.I just took some coupons from the store yesterday,because I was interested in trying it!THANKS. I'd Love To Win!
I use oxy clean to spot clean my carpet with :-)
looks like it works great! we go hiking so we tend to get mud on the clothes or stains from eating snacks upright. additionally, we all play soccer so you can imagine that mess! haha

I have a baby and a toddler that miss their mouth when they eat and decorate evrything around them so laundy is a challenge in my home.
jeanette_huston@yahoo.com
I'll definitely give this product a try
grassy knees are alwaya big deal here
dilem.mamaATgmail.com
Very cool! I have a 2 yr old who makes my life very difficult with her messes.
pittsy82@hotmail.com
this stuff is all awesome for stains
Four kids, 3 dogs and one husband who can't seem to remember to change into grunge clothes before he changes the oil on our cars..ugh!
Heck, I'd love to try anything that doesn't have me downstairs mixing concoctions of laundry soap, pre-treater, vinegar, lemon juice, baking soda, and water into some potentially-hazardous paste to try to get stains out of our clothes.

I live on a back country dirt road. I'm surrounded by mud which my four year old always seems to find. Looks like a great product!
I have a dog that jumps up and gets me all grassy- this would be great! scg00387 at yahoo dot com
That is so great--MUD is the worse here. Also grease stains, my kiddos are messy eaters, ketchup, ranch, etc. :)
This is a great product! I'll definitely be using it a lot this summer with baseball season upon us. The kids bring home much of the infield dirt with them!

I never realized how laundry spoiled I am. The only stains I ever have to deal with are if I spilled something on myself. :)
lizriz217 AT earthlink DOT net
Nice review
I am going to have to give this product a try. I have definitely have some stains that don't come out very well.
I have been wanting to try this stuff but wasn't sure how it would work in a front loader.
Wow, I'm definitely going to try this. I'm hoping it will help get the baseball uniform clean after practices & games!
I always have faith in Oxi Clean product, this one must be as good, can't wait to try it!
tcarolinep at gmail dot com
Sounds like a great product; thanks for such a great giveaway
I love Arm & Hammer laundry soap and am interested in trying this new enhanced soap!
parodi821 at yahoo dot com
Awesome prize!
I'm surprised the ketchup on the shirt came out!
Michelle
I will definitely have to try this detergent out - in fact, I think there is a bottle in my laundry room that I got on sale one day. I have three kids, ages 5, 4 & 3, and they are constantly dirty!
I love Arm and Hammer detergents -- not only do they work, but they tend to be a good price too. Double bonus.
Hey, how'd you get pictures of my kids clothes in there??? Except the clean one's must be your kids clothes, mine don't come that clean after the wash.
I'm a single mom of three boys (two of whom have autism), so I've pretty much given up on them having non-stained clothing. Plus they seemingly outgrow their clothes before I can even move them from the hamper to the washer. But now that my oldest is 14 and has slowed down a bit on his growing (and because I want to be able to hand his clothes down to his younger brothers), maybe it's time to give this stuff a try? (I usually just use the store brand detergent in an attempt to save money).
my number one outdoor-related laundry woe would be grass stains....ugh
bluegirl1423 at gmail dot com
I hate getting blood out of laundry - outdoor fun sometimes leads to scraped knees and elbows, it's just a fact of life.
mjharvey26 (at) yahoo (dot) com
OK, you've convinced me! I am going to try it!! Love the before & after photos!
-Beth in MI
Mud and Grass are my worse outdoor messes
Pit stains for sure
For me it's dirt/mud stains
seanm1999 at hotmail dot com
Grass stains or oil/grease stains from the car are the worst
I have a two year old son who does not care that it is raining, he still runs all over the back yard....I think I will run out and get this product and do my own before and after review!!
Need to try this soap - with your before and after pics, it looks like the stuff really works!
Kristin T.
I've never tried the Arm & Hammer with OxiClean. I'm impressed...I'll have to try it out!
-Sonya, Memphis, TN
I am already an Arm & Hammer detergent user, but haven't tried the oxi-clean version yet. I'll have to do that.
Between baseball, bedwetting and bloody knees my boys have helped me wear out a path to the laundry room! Oxi-clean is a great add-in to the wash cycle.
Well, we might have to try this...the mud is winning at our house!
That looks great. Will have to give it a try. I've wondered about it and typically use the All Small and Mighty. Thanks for the tip.
Melisa.
I love Arm & Hammer laundry soap! I can't wait to try the Oxy Clean kind! :)
Awesome!
I have 4 young kids and the older 3 are discovering the joys of the outdoors. They are muddying their clothes faster than I can clean them! This would be wonderful!
The dreaded, never-ending laundry! I don't mind the washing, the drying...it's the FOLDING!! (sometimes it just sits there in the basket, getting all wrinkly..like me:)) Anyhoo...love the review!
I think I need to try that on my son's baseball pants. Whoever thought that white baseball pants would be a good idea? ;-)
sounds good!!
I think I may need a new washing machine, but I'm trying to figure out which detergent will work best with the one we have. I wonder how different it is from just adding oxyclean to your normal detergent?
hey, that looks like it really works! I will try it next time I buy detergent!
I LOVE Arm and Hammer products. Would love to win the gift card.
I'll have to give that detergent a try. My daughter comes home from kindergarten filthy! I guess that means she's having fun, right?
I can't believe how clean those clothes look. I've used A&H detergent for a long time but never with the oxyclean. I'm going to check it out! Thanks!
I wish this product didn't have any fragrance at all - I have to add OxyClean to All Free & Clear because anything else irritates my daughter's skin wicked badly! If I got a free sample of this product I might try it on one load, though.
My kids' laundry isn't usually the problem (although with a middle schooler sometimes the odor of the laundry is intersting) but my husband. He never thinks that maybe he should change his clothes before he heads out to the garden. Sometimes he'll come home from work and just decide to do a few things. So, instead of having one or two pair of gardening pants, virtually every pair he owns has mud stains on the knees. I'll have to give this a try!
Oh, wow, I love the before and after pictures! I have a kid that thinks his shirt is his napkin, too. He's 6. Someday, it'll be his wife's problem and not mine. I'll recommend Arm and Hammer to her. :-)
I have a little one that requires us to use fragrance free... may need some of this for the really stained items... may need to check to see if it comes in fragrance free....
I use the regular Arm and Hammer and have for yrs. I'm gonna check this out. Thanks!
Ok, I am definitely going to get this and try it! I have used Arm & Hammer detergent before and really liked it, but with Oxy added... I can't wait! Thanks for the review/tip. =)
I used to use Arm & Hammer (loved it)before I started making my own laundry detergent (very frugal). Then our washer gave out (it served us for many years). Our new washer is a high efficiency washer still under warranty, so I can't use the homemade detergent. I wonder if A&H w/Oxy clean comes in HE? I'll have to go check that out.
Fellow mom of six here...I NEED that stuff! I am always on the look out for something that actually WORKS!
Thanks!
Awesome! I might have to try it! (and I'd love to wind the prize, too!) =)
Show me the money!
Did you pre-treat any of these clothes or just wash them in the detergent alone?
Rebecca C.
I think I would have thrown out the clothes and started over again, I will certainly try this product Dawn.
I will have to try this deteregent!
Impressive! Might have to give it a try.
My husband and my baby have sensitive skin and we are cloth diapering - I wonder how this would work for them? Is there are fragrance free version?
I've always used Tide but I am willing to try something new. Thanks for the info! OH btw if you go to the website there is a $1 coupon...
I love Arm and Hammer! I have used it since before my son was born. It has saved a lot of clothing at our house. I also like that it is not horribly expensive and has a perfume and dye free option.
that detergent actually has me curious, I may have to try it, I like oxiclean a lot.
My 5-yr old doesn't know the difference between shirt and napkin either. The right sleeve of just about every shirt has some sort of unremovable stain. And my 2-yr old has to be disrobed after dinner every night. I don't even bother with bibs any more because it gets all over the rest of his clothes anyway. I LOVE Oxi-clean and I've tried Arm & Hammer. Maybe I'll have better luck with this one!
I sure could have used that when I had 4 boys playing baseball. I used to use the 2 things separately and they worked. Bet that's a great product!
Wow...Sounds great! You've made me want to try it to see if I get the same great results! Thanks for the review and chance to win!
Love Oxy Clean! Love $$ even more!
Shelley
SPepper22@sbcglobal.net
Whoa nelly! I have GOT to try this product. Even with pricey Tide it takes a few washes to get some of my hubby's and kid's stains out. PICK ME FOR THE $200!!
Will have to try this.. I need all the help on laundry I can get...
Angie H.
I use Arm & Hammer products all the time - but haven't tried this yet - will have to give it a try - thanks!!
I have super sensitive skin and have always broken out from every detergent EXCEPT Arm and Hammer. Glad to know they can really fight the stains too!
love arm&hammer detergent and oxyclean! the arm&hammer is super affordable and the oxyclean actually always does what it claims to do :) would love some extra $$$ to stock up on essentials such as this!
I gotta admit, I'm not someone who tries stuff easily, but your words and those pictures combined... yup, you did it. I gotta get me somma this!
i will have to try the arm and hammer i have two small boys that like to ruin clothes and a grown one that makes the biggest mess so glad to know it works thank you Callie Souther
not sure if the contest is still on, but would love to win a gift card.
I love oxi-clean, although I've never tried the Arm & Hammer with Oxi-clean, so I'm not surprised that this seems to work well. Might have to try it.
Ooooo....I NEED this for the Texas red clay! Thanks for the chance to try it!
bj_texan@yahoo.com
I've seen the commercials and have wanted to try it myself. Am wondering though if it can be used in he (high efficiency) machines. I'll have to remember to have a look at the bottle when I go to Target again. Thanks for the review!
Awesome product! I'd love to win :)
Oh my gosh, it worked great! I've got to get me some of that. Plus I'd love to win.
What a great product! I have two teenage sons and I could really use some help with stains.
Squee!
::clapping::
YOU have a Clay? I have a Clay too and yes, he's the messy one. ;o)
That's amazing! Especially the napkin cleaning. My son does the same thing and I can never get everything out.
Maybe this could help me get the muddy paw prints out of my jeans...
urchiken at gmail dot com
Absolutely amazing!!! I need to try this stuff for sure!
that is really cool. i like oxi-clean as well. not for EVERYthing, but for some things it is awesome! and i like that you said its thick. these laundry detergents that are full of water make me wonder what i'm paying for sometimes.
looks like it worked really well! our laundry woes come from art supplies from my 8 year old. They're everywhere on his clothes! amiedanny@msn.com
arm and hammer power gel is amazing , it brought out red clay mud stains in my daughters wedding dress train tail end that I thought had ruined it forever, I love the stuff! thanks
sewitupjulie at gmail dot com
Oh my goodness. I need this stuff! My kids are beginning to look like they live/ sleep in a mud bath. Clothes just DON'T get clean anymore!
Hmmm...worth a try - the contest and the detergent.
I will def try the new Arm & Hammer with Oxyclean! I've been using Oxyclean products on carpet stains for years with lots of success, so I'm sure this works great on mud and grass stains, too!
I would love to try out this detergent. I don't know how you do 4 load of laundry each day.
Wow, I'm going to have to try that! 14 year old and 6 year old boys = tons of stains!!!
Never tried the detergent, but my husband will only use their toothpaste...
I am shocked. I have always used Tide but even tho I have 2 bottles I am going to the store and get a bottle of this to try. I have 3 grandkids that visit every weekend and they just love puddles and anything they can do to get dirty.
Thanks for the testimonal and especially the pictures.
Fingers crossed that I win the money.
Donna from NE Indiana
Wonder how it does on markers.
That looks great!
I'm going to have to try that!
Hope I win. Sounds like a good product :).
I have yet to try this, but I am going to. This looks like miracle stuff!
Sounds like a great product! Is this available for high-efficiency washers? With a 2-year old boy into everything, I could use all the help I can get - laundry detergent or $200 :)
I love OxiClean, too! I haven't tried this product you mention, but I've used the spray a LOT, especially when doing laundry for the kids I nanny for.
Gotta LOVE a good laundry soap! Makes all the diff in the world!
Four boys - tennis, track, baseball and construction, and a husband who works as a machinist. I need this stuff!
I'd love to win the gift card. I have used the A & H w/oxiclean before as someone who moved out of our building left it behind. It is 1 of the better detergents out there.
Ohh my gosh!!! I have been a tride and true Tide mom.. but lately I have been really dissapointed... I am going to have to really check this out! THanks!

I am always looking for good detergent. Tide with Bleach is a favorite but I think I will try this one next. OxiClean is definitely a mom's best friend!
Getting that ketchup out is really impressive. If they have a fragrance free version, I may have to give it a try.
My husband's family always has used arm and hammer- but I LOVE a good smelling detergent. Great to know that this one has a good smell! I'll give it a try!
Thanks, Nichole
nikkilynnbeck@yahoo.com
It's time we try a new laundry detergent; haven't been happy w/ our old one. Thanks, Dawn!
My kids also seem to have a problem with the concept of shirt vs. napkin. ;)
My husband is in the military and we're stationed in northern Japan, which is a lot like Chicago when it comes to winter weather. And just when winter ends, the rainy season begins! Forget cleaning my kid's clothes, I need this stuff for MY mud-encrusted jeans!
ajminear at gmail dot com
Seems like thats a great product to have in the house. Also a $200 gift card with summer around the corner and 5 kids to buy school clothes for would be great. Great review Dawn.
I just found a coupon for this stuff and was thinking about trying it out the before and afters look great
I could use clean clothes and clean cash. Sign me up
I need to try this stuff. My hubby works in air conditioning, and thinks his work shirts are band-aids and paper towels.He wipes everything on them. He also sweats and the aluminum in his deodorant leaves those unsightly grey spots in the armpit area of them.That stuff doesn't come out, not even with spray and wash or shout.
Would love to win this!
Wow, nice!
Maybe I need to try this stuff. Between my husband and son, I am not sure they can make it through a day without staining something.
tdcurrey at comcast dot net
I have a 4-year-old girl and a 9-year-old boy. No matter the time of year, that stuff looks awesome.
That stuff looks awesome! I love anything with oxi-clean!
How awesome! If I win, I would definitely use some of the visa card for some new laundry detergent!
Um, wow! The product looks great! ANd $200? COUNT ME IN! :)
I am so anal when it comes to laundry. I can never let my husband do it because I'm so particular as to how it should be done. I also love oxyclean. I'm going to have to give this stuff a go around the washer. angelou22 at gmail dot com
With a 6 month old, I thought everything was destined to be stained with pureed squash? I'm going to buy bottle right now!
Hey, if you put the detergent on a stain and let in stand for an hour.
More of the stain comes out!
Wow, great job Arm & Hammer! Would love a chance at winning!
I love A & H. I bought it once on sale and stuck with it.
We live around the red clay dirt, and it gets clothes filthy. This looks great, and the $ would look great in fresh washed pants. :)
OxiClean is my go-to stain remover. It's the best!
Fantastic! With results like that, I'll be giving it a go :D
I would love to give this a try.
I would love to try this detergent! It is soccer season, after all!
I'm a big fan of Arm & Hammer detergent - have used it for years. Currently using the "clean burst" that they carry at Target. Love it!
I've seen this on TV but haven't tried it yet. Thanks for the honest review! Next time I need soap, I'll try it!
bremehr at yahoo dot com
Wow! I'm impressed that it got those stains out. I'll have to try it sometime. Thanks for a great giveaway!
That's awesome!!! My youngest somehow manages to get everything she eats mashed into the seat of her pants while strapped in her high chair. Pizza, spaghetti, everything!
That stuff looks awesome. I will have to pick some up on my next trip to the store. It would be reeeaaaallllyyy cool to win the gift card as well. :-)

And too bad they can't make a detergent that put the knee holes back IN the pants. lol. My six yr old shows No Mercy on any jeans he gets. Knees are the first to go, always. I gonna try this detergent.
Carla
cbryant2@unl.edu
This is already my favortie detergent. Pick me!
I haven't tried this product yet, but I have 3 of those children who think their shirts are their napkins! I would love to win the giftcard.
My kids are in rodeo, this detergent looks like it might be just what I need.
I want to win! Pick me!
Holy cow! I need that stuff! I have 3 boys and a husband who always seem to find something messy to get into.
jillk77 at aol dot com
sounds like a great product, i will have to try it.
Triplet 10-year-old boys, I'll try anything. Too bad there isn't something that seals holes, and causes pants to stretch an inch when they get outgrown a week after they're bought...
You have got to love mud season. If you say it works on mud, I believe you! You actually do more laundry a day than I do!!!
I love Arm and Hammer Detergent and would be delighted to have the gift card from them! How generous!
Hooray for Arm and Hammer. (BISaidSo, too!)
Pick me, pick me, pick me. :)
I love oxy clean too! $200 would be awesome to have for my Chicago trip this summer.
I love OxyClean too! Gets out baby poop and puke better than anything else I have found! I need that giftcard!! ;)
-Emily from STL
Wow! I'm convinced. I must try this stuff, and thanks for the chance to win.
You sold me on this when you said you weren't going back to your old Target brand. I've been adding Oxiclean to my cheap WalMart detergent, but this makes more sense. Plus, it'll make the clothes smell nice!
Those results are awesome! I'll have to see if they have an HE product!! I've got baseball and soccer for all 4 of mine. It's amazing what the turf can do to uniforms and I'm just waiting for the baseball pants!!
I have two boys and they're pigs!! I could really use this.
grass stains are impossible
Looks like a really good product!
What would I do with a $200 gift card? BUY ARM AND HAMMER, of course!
sounds great! We live on a farm. nuff said.
Deodorant stains are my laundry bane. Pretreating helps but…
Looks great - I'd love to give it a try! - Chrissy S
Wow, that worked! I'll have to try some on my son's dirt, mud, grass and Dorito dust stained baseball pants this season.
That stuff is amazing!
Glad to hear about a product that works so well. Thanks for sharing!
Wow, those came out really clean... Awesome.
i need something as powerful as that for my kids clothes. I'll give it a try and see if I can get rid of those nasty stains that linger forever.
I think I'd like to try this stuff on some red Georgia clay! Does it come in an unscented version?
Anyone with kids will appreciate that!
I'm going to have to give this a try.
I am probably crazy, but I do all my laundry on one day! Then I am all done and don't have to think about it for another week.
Wow that's some black mud you have in Chicago! This looks like a great product. I hope I win!
Julie in PA
ztah4us@yahoo.com
I gave this product a try and it is wonderful. Removes stains, brightens colors and smells fresh. I am sold. :-)
Sounds like a great product. Can't wait to try it on our grass stains!
Looks like a winner for a family with kids!
I love Arm & Hammer detergent. I started using it a while ago and think it works great.
My kid’s karate gi looks gray instead of white!
I would love to have the giftcard!!! Pick me! Pick me! I never win anything.
I wanna try it... I am gel-ous - is that the commercial for this stuff? Anyhow, hubby lost his job and we sure could use 200$, so sign me up
Carla
cbryant2@unl.edu
That stuff can keep up with twin toddlers!! Cant say the same about money, so that would help too!!!!
Sounds good. Gardening (and mud) season is upon us.
Laundry is my nemesis! I am hoping that this would work for me. Grass stains are the worst.
With 5 kids... we use alot of detergent!! Pick me please!!
Dawn mom of 5
dacoleman25@hotmail.com
Hey, sign me up. I need clean clothes, too.
How did I miss this one earlier? Oops. I sooo need something to get those t-ball stains out. And we're only in week 2. *sigh*
I must say, I am impressed with your pictures! Makes me want to give Arm & Hammer with Oxi Clean a try! I think I'll buy some on my next shopping trip!
I picked up some OxiClean spray a few months ago on a whim (I usually use SprayNWash), and BOY does it do a great job. It unfortunately cannot handle the stains I let fester for weeks on items stuffed behind the washer (lost) or things we forget to spray, then bake on in the dryer, but what can??
I'm still partial to the fact that blood (we had a plague of bloody noses this dry winter) comes out quick with some oxyclean and a little elbow grease under running cold water - even if it dried on a bit overnight on a pillow case.
what every mom needs!
Love, love, love Arm and Hammer w/ oxiclean. And I love that is costs less than alot of detergents. Pick me Dawn. I would love to win a gift card!!! And please keep blogging. You make me laugh every day.
Love A&H detergent & my hubby's garden clothes are the worst.
