This product works, no doubt about it. The items I soaked came out bright and stain-free. I found it has an odor that is offensive to us. Left odor in clothes.
I really liked this product... but like a few other testers I was confused as to when I should be adding it in to my front loader washer. There isn't a compartment for it on my washer so I kind of just chucked a scoop in before I started. I have to wonder if this effects how well the product works....
However I did really like how well the product got the gray grime off my sons socks. I had kind of just accepted the fact that I should not buy a toddler white socks (maybe gray next time) as I could never get them back to white. I've tried using bleach before but found the smell so overwhelming and didn't like the idea of keeping it in my home where my toddler could potentially get to it. But when I used this product on his socks with a hot wash I found a significant difference in the shade of gray his socks had become. I would certainly buy this product again.
Also wanted to add that despite getting this product for free as a Chickadvisor Testor I would still use it over the other stain remover I have been currently using. I also received the other stain remover for free so price made no difference into my decision regarding buying again.
I tried this product several time on my white towels and when used in the wash, it does seem to brighten up whites.
But I didn't give the product full remarks for a couple of reasons.
- When using on a really strong stain, as a pre soak, it wasn't able to get the stain out.
- I'm not quite sure at what stage to add the product in, I have a HE top loader & typically use liquid detergent. The instructions state that I'm supposed to add my clothes in after the water fills but that's not how my machine works (it senses the load size). Maybe if I had a simple old fashioned washer &/ used powdered detergent it would be easier to figure out.
This product is hands down, definitely the best laundry booster on the market. I have two children who are very active in hockey and football. Although OxiClean is a stain remover and booster, it also works wonders on the awful hockey smell. Football, goes without saying - Oxi gets out the mud and the grass stains. 100x more effective than Resolve.
My husband is a carpenter, and he wears a white undershirt and tshirt daily. His shirts become stained quickly due to sweat, sunscreen, and caked on dirt. Several years ago we started using another bleach-free powder to clean our whites, as we noticed that soaking them in bleach was causing him to wear through them sooner. Our routine consists of saving out whites for last, running them in a load of hot water before we go to bed. I add laundry detergent,a couple scoops of our whitening powder, and allow the washing machine to agitate for a few minutes before pausing the cycle. I leave the lid closed overnight, and resume the cycle in the morning.
This routine does help to maintain the brightness of his whites, but over time they do get dingy. During the summer, the mix of sweat, sunscreen, and dirt on the neck can stain quite badly.
I was sent a tub of OxiClean Max Force White Revive courtesy of the Chick Advisor product review club. I followed the same routine, only using the OxiClean product this time. We compared the cleansed shirts to those washed with the "other" whitening powder product, and found that the OxiClean had whitened the shirts ever-so-subtly more.
I'm interested to watch the price cycle of this product - I can currently purchase the "other" product on sale for about $4 a tub, and there are often free rebate offers for it. I haven't seen many promotions for OxiClean Max Force, but would likely not purchase at full price given the only subtle difference in whitening.
Keep in mind that the overall impact of OxiClean Max Force White Revive was not subtle, it was only subtle in comparison to my other clothes that had been washed with a similar product. My brother gave me a shirt of his that he had worn during a multi day outdoor music festival to try cleaning, and the end effect was a significantly brighter shirt that was nearly stain free (you wouldn't be able to see the one stain that remained if you didn't know where it had been originally.
I started with using this products just with white stained socks as I have two teenage sons. Worked like a charm. Since then I have used with all laundry including hockey equipment and it gets the stink out as well!! Yah for OxiClean
I recieved this product to test for free.
I would buy this product and would recommend this product to anyone who wants their whites, whiter!
I had been battling one of my husbands shirts with sunscreen and sweat stains. It is a white linen shirt. I had used everything, and nothing was working. I used this product once, following the directions, and was impressed! It was white, stains were removed and it is wearable again!
There are no harsh bleach smells. This will become a part of my clothes whitening routine.
I was so excited to get to test this! I got it right to work on our laundry and it did everything it said! My hubby has many white shirts and this did seem to brighten them so they were less greyish and more white, clean and smelled great!!
I received OxiClean Max Force White Revive Laundry Stain Remover & Booster to try for the Product Review Club and all I can say is - just add it to the roster of all the other OxiClean products I love. With all the OxiClean stuff in my house now, you could pretty much consider me a brand ambassador! haha
I have two young children and a husband with hyperhidrosis and of all the products I've used for stain removal and whitening, this is definitely in the top spot. The husband's white dress shirts were the true test and OxiClean MaxForce White Revive passed with flying colors! I like that it dissolves well and that it doesn't have a horrible smell like traditional bleach. I feel comfortable using this product on a regular basis without the worry of it wearing away the fibers in the clothing. It doesn't discolor my laundry either. I especially like to use it in the kids clothes as an extra-clean booster if they have an especially dirty load from playing outside or spills from food and who knows what. I would totally recommend this product to anyone who has tried all the other products and have not gotten satisfactory results. I also like the large tub format, convenient and I won't have to worry about running out any time soon.
