Clorox Ick-Tionary: Wine & Jeez & $250 Giveaway

Ick happens…and it happens to everyone. Just take a look at the Clorox® Ick-tionary – our wiki for everyday icky – to laugh, commiserate and conquer the icky situations that everyone goes through. Visit www.icktionary.com to learn how Clorox® cleaning and laundry products can help you tackle the next icky situation in your home, like the “Boot Call” – when your kid calls you after they have thrown up in the bed – so you can laugh about it later.

WINE & JEEZ

The stain that turns your white shirt

into a Merlot color.

Raising two children I’ve had my fair share of icky moments. Actually some days it felt like I had more than my fair share. In all honesty, I have to admit that I’ve been the cause of a few icky situations. What mom hasn’t? We are usually running in a million different directions at one time trying to get it all done. Ick is bound to happen. Mine tends to happen in the form of stains on clothing.

For whatever reason I seem to have a habit of spilling red wine on light-colored tops. It’s like the wine is a magnet for my nice tops. I’ll be enjoying a nice heavenly red wine, sipping away and thinking about nothing in particular, just enjoying the moment and then BAM! wine dribbles down the front of my shirt. Seriously? Every time it happens I’m in a bit of shock that I haven’t learned my lesson from the other 846 times I’ve dealt with wine & jeez.

Luckily, Clorox has bailed me out more than once. Clorox 2 Stain Fighter & Color Booster* has quickly and efficiently removed the red wine stains from numerous shirts. Thank goodness because I do not have the resources to keep replacing clothes because I can’t get all the wine in my mouth.

*Always check clothing labels before using Clorox Regular Bleach or Clorox2 Stain Fighter & Color Booster.
