I have two young daughters (ages 3 & 4) and a pug puppy. All three love to go outside and dig in the dirt which means not only does my house get dirty, so do the girls’ clothes. When it comes to fighting tough stains, I use Purex plus Clorox2 detergent. It is new and I was lucky enough to get my hands on a bottle thanks to Purex. I am in love with it! It really helps me clean up our clothes. I will say that my girls are not the only ones that bring me clothes with stains. My husband is guilty of that as well. He is a mechanical engineer by trade and loves to work with his hands.
