Earlier this year, I was selected to be one of the founding members of the Spray ‘n Wash Bright & White Blog Panel. They must have known how much laundry we do every week, and how many of our clothes say “do not use chlorine bleach” on the labels! Between food spills, grass stains, and Kaitlyn’s potty training accidents, we can use all the help we can get with stain removal. The bottle they sent me even came in this cute washing machine box:
I’ve been buying Spray ‘n Wash for years, the regular stain fighting spray, so I couldn’t wait to try this new Bright&White with Resolve Power on our clothes. Rather than spray, you pour a little directly onto stains, then measure and pour it right into the water as the washer is filling, add your regular detergent, and it removes stains, brightens the colors, whitens the whites, all without chlorine bleach.
My biggest laundry challenge at the moment is definitely Kaitlyn’s undies. She’s doing really well with the potty training, especially with going pee, but she’s still working on the pooping in the potty. Which unfortunately means that once or twice a week, I have to wash underpants that, well, you know.
I pour the Spray ‘n Wash Bright&White right onto the stains and rub it in, then measure and pour it into the wash along with liquid laundry detergent. I have to say, I do see a difference in the brightness, the stains don’t come out 100%, but pretty close. And the undies that have a colored pattern on them, there’s no danger of bleach stains ruining them.
New Spray ‘N Wash Bright ‘N White With Resolve Power retails for around $4.99. You can visit their website to print a coupon to save $0.75 on your purchase of Spray ‘N Wash. Submit a photo entry of your worst bleach accident or laundry disaster at www.ListenToYourClothes.com and you could win a $10,000 laundry room makeover!

My worst laundry nightmare use to be my son’s baseball pants. Now it’s the white napkins we use at every meal. Although bleach will usually take out anything, I hate to use bleach on a regular basis. This prize may be just what I need.
Spray ‘n Wash Bright & White is a safe and effective alternative to bleach, specially formulated to remove stains and keep brights bright …
My daughter is always leaving things in her pockets and one time she left a bright red marker in her pocket. Needless to say everything was red and it took me hours to save a few pieces of clothing but the others I had to throw out.
I befriended you on Facebook.
My worst laundry was washing a handful of Chuckie Cheese tickets from my son’s pocket…Oh my gosh! They were red and they bled and shredded all over the load…It was the biggest mess! Luckily, after using almost a whole bottle of Spray N Wash, I got it all out and nothing was ruined!

My worst laundry problem is the grease and ground in dirt that my husband gets on his clothes at work. It is so hard to get out.
A few years back, my DH did the laundry to help out. (He had good intentions!) A number of our dark towels – thanks to bleach inexpertly used – came out looking like a 2 color tie-dye nightmare instead of their usual dark color.
I haven’t had too many problems with bleach – my main laundry problems are the things that get left in pockets. I go through pockets when I sort the laundry, but things still seem to sneak through. I think the worst was when my daughter left some kind of pill she takes for UTIs in the pocket of some white pants. It was a little red pill, and it left yellow spots all over everything. I had to rewash that load a couple times and did manage to get most of the yellow out, but UGH!

My worst laundry story is when my husband left a gel ink pen in his pocket and it exploded in the wash. Nothing could be saved. It was terrible!

good stuff!!
when we were first married, i ruined several of our brand new towels when i washed a load with a cleaning rag that had bleach on it. BUMMER!
My daughter didn’t put the cap back on the bleach bottle. It was knocked over onto pile of bath towels which, after being washed, turned into the car drying towels!
My worst laundry nightmare happened when I left a tube of red lipstick in the pocket of my jeans. The lipstick melted in the dryer and stained the whole load of laundry red.
I think my worst is washing tickets to a baseball game – fortunately I could reprint them – at the time I didnt know that though.
washing a sharpie and not paying attention and tossing it in the dryer and setting it further- pretty dots
Myself I have a small laundry problem right now. I have washed my clothes in the paid laundry room and there were problems with my clothes..and the clothes stink because they didn’t have enough air to dry as they should. Do think that this smell will go fo when I wash the xlothes again? I don’t know how to do it smart.:/
i need this for my messy kids.
I could sure use this – hubby is a nurse and he gets some odd stains!!
First off, my parents LOVE spray & wash, it would be nice to surprise my mom with a new product by them. As for my worst laundry story, it involves my husband (that actually could be the end of my story hehe) but he decided to do laundry because I wasn’t feeling well. well there were at least 2 loads worth that he decided to cram into one load. then he added enough liquid detergent to wash the earth ( i have a HE front loader mind you) & added BLEACH. needless to say the washer was having nothing to do with that huge of a load & just refused to move. But my husband bless his heart thought everything was ok and didn’t think anything when the washer never beeped. FF to the next day I go down to the basement to find a packed washer, partially filled with water/soap/bleach. I have to get a bucket to catch some of the water, and i now have soapy tie dyed clothes. I did my best to salvage what I could and make loads out of the inital 2. Needless to say my husband is not allowed near the washer anymore.
When I was first married, I had to take the clothes to a nearby laundromat. One time, apparently someone had mischief in mind, because when my husband’s jeans came out of the machine, they had bleached spots all over them. Since I hadn’t even taken any bleach with me, the only thing I could think of was that someone had just poured some into the machine, not caring what might be ruined for someone else.
The joy of stains. My son has a G-tube and stains get on his clothes, this would be great to use.

I washed all my laundry, hung it outside on the clothesline. I came inside for a few minutes, looked outside and the dog had every piece of clothing I hung up all over the yard!

I ruined a beautiful Liz Claiborn sweater pouring bleach in the washer. It splashed on the sleeve and I could never wear it again. I felt so bad because it had been a splurge for me and I rarely buy such nice clothes for myself. Thanks for the chance.
Worst laundry moment was after i got home from buying my kids all new sumer clothes last year. I took all the tags off, threw them in the washing machine- and when I took them out- realized that there was an ink pen somehow tossed in there. All the clothes were ruined with huge ink spots. So sad!!
I had this great white sleeveless shirtwaist dress — very crisp and neat looking. I went out with a friend and when we got back to her house, her dog was all muddy and came up and shook right next to me! I had brown polka dots all over my lovely dress.
They mostly came out, but in certain lights, I could still see some of them.
The years when my kiddos would throw and sleep in it were the worst laundry years.

My worst laundry story was with bleach. I had washed white clothes with bleach and then washed a load of colored clothes the very next thing…apparently some of the bleach was still in the washer, because my dark clothes came out w/ white spots..I was so mad
I’m using this and would really like to have another bottle.
cleaning is the best
When my husband and I were first married, one of us (can’t remember which) threw in a red sweatshirt into a load of whites, which included my husband’s white long underwear. He wore the pink longjohns until they wore out! Which makes me think he was the offender. Thanks!
Would love to win this!
i’m always staining my clothers mverno@roadrunner.com
I wanted to whiten my cream colored jeans. When I used bleach it ate thru all the seams and I just had white pieces of denim left.
I accidentally bleached my husbands navy blue dress pants. They became weekend cut-offs!
My worst bleach story is having it accidentally spritz up on my husband’s work uniform while I was bleaching some towels, I ran the uniforms through the wash immediately but there were still spots, he still brings it up! LOL

My worst bleach story was one of the first times I used bleach. I put waayyy too much in considering how small of a load I was doing and didn’t notice my brother’s golf team shirt (orange) was still in the machine. Oops. I think he still holds a grudge, haha
I have used by mistake used a detergent with bleach on brand new orange towels one time. Let’s just say they ended up tie dyed.
I recently bought my first bottle of Spray’n Wash Stain Remover and it really does work!! Spray’n Wash is fantastic, wonderful, awesome, grrreat, terrific, effective, fabulous, magnificent, and superb!!! Thank you for the contest!
The only thing that happens occasionally to me is bleach splattering back on the sleeve and/or front of the shirt I am wearing. I always make sure I wear an expendable t-shirt or sweatshirt when doing white laundry.
My laundry nightmare is the white shirt my hubby feels he must wear when mowing the lawn. How, oh how, does he manage to get grass stains and dirt ground into the shirt when he’s only sitting on the mower?
My worst horror story is ruining a brand new pair of jeans by elbowing over the bleach!
My worst laundry disaster is accidently washing a dryclean only blouse. had to through it away
My worst was when I accidentially put in a red colored shirt in with the whites and the red color came off and stained all the whites
i washed an ink pen in my pants and got ink all over my clothes!
My husband works in a shop, his work clothes can get downright gross at times. Needless to say, we use a LOT of Spray and Wash!
We are now facebook friends!
This sounds easy to use count me in!

I’m certain this has happened to many, a new red sweatshirt somehow got mixed in the whites. The result was unevenly mottled pink and white clothing.

My worst laundry story is when our old washing machine leaked some kind of grease into the tub making the clothes have oil spots all over.
I already follow you on twitter. (winsome6)
I once made a tie-dye shirt that I forgot to wash separately on its own and got dye on a lot of other things. I don’t tie-dye anymore!
Accidentally washing the only photograph I had of my grandmother.
Washing my new towels with my new white shirt. Not a good combo.
Thank you for the chance

Just a couple of weeks ago, I decided to combine whites and darks to conserve energy and water. I washed a hunter green shirt for the first time, and when I took everything out after the cycle had run, my white/nude colored bras/panties had been tinged with the green! It took three overnight soaks in Tide with Bleach and Pure Oxygen Whitener to get them back to normal! I guess Mom was right – “Haste makes waste.”
I’ve been thankful that I don’t have any terrible bleaching stories. I did have a shirt once from Old Navy that bled all over my washing machine and my new jacket, it even turned my skin green. I had to use bleach to get that out, it was a mess. Thanks for the giveaway!
i would love to be the winner, thank you
I’m happy to say that I don’t have any bleach horror stories but DH’s work clothes are a horror story of their own!
Thanks for the chance to win!
My worst story is when I turned all my husbands clothes pink with some red socks in the wash.
I did the sheets for my wife and I added bleach like she does. Well…the sheets were all spotted and I felt so bad.
My dingy underclothes could use this. Please accept my entry. Thank you.
My worst laundry mishap involved unknowingly washing a tube of chapstick which leaked grease stains all over the entire load of laundry.

My worst bleach problem was when I had to wear black dress pants for my work. And I accidentley dumped a cup of bleach in a whole load of those same black dress pants. It was awful. They were completely ruined.

When my husband and I 1st got married, I really didn’t know much about bleach, so when i 1st started using it, I used 2 much in the whites and our clothes didn’t last long, they shredded quickly. Also I accidently have gotton bleach on a dark piece of clothing in the past & ruined it. I don’t trust myself w/bleach, so I just use laundry detergents w/added bleach, and that has worked out well 4 me
I recently had a bleach accident with all of my towels. I need a product that cleans but doesn’t damage!
When my husband and I first met, I was helping him with the laundry and I accidentally shrank a sweater that I thought was his daughter. Turned out she had borrowed it from her mother and it was brand new. YIKES
I used to have to wear white scrubs for nursing school. Well I tried using bleach on them one time they got stained and it was horrible. It looked like I tie dyed them. I don’t know what I did wrong.
I dont have any recent horror stories,but when I first started doing wash I didnt seperate the whites from the darks&all my whites were grey

I have a 20 month old, so needless to say he has quite a few stained shirts!! I can’t really think of a horror story, and hopefully I don’t end up with one!
My worst laundry nightmare was when I tried to wash 2 pillows at the same time with the waterproof covers still on them. The water overflowed out of the washing machine and all into my kitchen. macd82 at gmail dot com
I’m an ICU nurse – you don’t want to know the stains I’ve seen! LOL
My worst laundry nightmare was when bleach accidently got spill all over my jeans.
Worst laundry nightmare was washing a red item with a load of whites. Laundry was my chore as a teenager, I turned the boys tighty whitey’s all pink, also all of the white tube socks. We were poor and the family couldn’t afford to replace them. Thanks for the contest!
I used to mix colors and whites and we all know what happened: pink shirts and socks! I learned since!
i joined your blog and I Tweeted and my worst laundry day was when I found our kitten in the washer where my son hid her needless to say she did not survive the wash and it was so hard to tell him the news.
My worst bleach/laundry horror story is the one time I let my husband do the laundry unsupervised – what was I thinking??? He put EVERYTHING in together (as in clothes, soap, bleach and fabric softener), turned it on hot and, well, now I have things like tie-dyed bras, panties and so forth. The ‘silver lining’ to this story is that I got a free pass to go out and buy new clothes!
With two kids I can use alot of Spray n Wash.

My worst laundry horror story was when I first got married and thought you should put bleach in everything. My husband and my jeans all got ruined!
My worst laundry nightmare is when I get food stains on my clothes and they don’t come out.
my daughters first dress/outfit we brought her home in i ruined it with bleach i wanted to save it forever thanks for the chance
My nightmare happened when our washing machine started to hop away, I jumped on it to catch it, ruining my new sweater with bleach in the process!
worst bleach/stain horror story is when my son had a bloody nose – i had to try and get blood out of his clothes and his sheets – it was a tough job, i actually had some spray and wash though and it all came out
spaghetti sauce is the worst and this needs something that needs something attention like this product
With two kids, I could definitely use this. My usual laundry problem is my husband leaving tissues in his pants pockets and they end up torn and all over everything. As for bleach, I’m usually pretty good with it. Not that long ago, however, I tried to get a stain out of a white stripe on the sleeve of my daughter’s sweater and it soaked up the bleach and ended up turning the light blue stripes yellow and splotchy. I ended up having to cut off the sleeves and make it short-sleeved!
I was having an argument, with my husband while doing laundry..and I accidentlly poured bleach all over my colors.
good stuff
i washed a sock that had old motor oil on it and accidentally threw it in the dryer where it shared all it’s greasy oiliness with all of my nice clean clothes
My worst bleach nightmare was an accident. I was getting ready to do a load of white sheets and towels and had just opened a new bottle of bleach. It slipped out of my hand and hit the floor and bleach sprayed everywhere. My brand new blue capris immediately had big white spots and of course I had to clean up all the spilled bleach. The odor was horrible!!
My worst laundry story is when my machine flooded water all over the floor. We found out it had been eating baby socks and they jammed up the pipe.
So in college i was determined to never make any laundry mistakes. I survived untill senior year when i shrunk my FAVORITE Sheer wool sweater. I was wool but see through so id wear a tank top under it. It was loose fitting and super comfy. Well i shrunk it so bad it literally fit on my snuggle bear i had had since a kid. I was horrified. I couldnt believe i had missed it! To this day i am super paranoid that im going to shink my clothes.

I’ve been seeing these commercials! I’d love to try the product to test if it’s all it’s cracked up to be
The commercials I see on TV make the product worth buying. My bleach horror story was I didn’t have the cap completely on the jug of bleach and it fell off the laundry self onto the floor were there was a load of darks laying, needless to say the many of the dark clothing were ruined!
Thanks for the great giveaway!

I once left a bar of soap in a jeans pocket. The washing machine made suds in the whole room. It was terrible. Why did I have soap in my pocket?
The funny thing is, I don’t remember!

I always get stains on my white T-shirts. I recently bought two new white shirts and got stains on both of them the first time I wore them and the stains did not come out! Thanks!!
I am so clumsy and always end up with stains on whatever I’m wearing. Trying to get the stains out is never fun and I usually don’t end up getting the stain completely out. But my worst laundry story would have to be when I kept getting these mystery stains on my clothes after they were washed/dried, and I knew they did NOT have stains on them before they went in the washer! I didn’t understand were the stains were coming from — I later found out that there was a old penny in the bottom of the washer that caused the stain.
Stumbled! (twifanheather)

My worst laundry nightmare happened just last week! We came home from camping and all of my sons shorts were COVERED with tree sap. It won’t come out, so now his shorts look dirty even when they’re clean. Ugh…boys are so messy, lol.
I have a Good Hubby He does all the laundry

Thanks for the giveaway… just ran out of the pre-spray we usually use and would love to try the new Spray n Wash formula on some white dress shirts.
I sure could use this…summer camp has been awful on the kids’ clothes.
Can’t you use adult vernacular? Pooping and peeing? Why don’t you just say dropping a load? Try bowel movements and urinating. I get so sick and tired of hearing parents talking down to their kids in the bathroom. \Let’s go poopy.\ Talk to them LIKE HUMAN BEINGS for christ’s sake. My mother never talked down to me, she treated me with respect and dignity. What a strange concept huh?
