I have a beautiful Mexican Lace tablecloth.
I got it in Mexico when we went to pick Josh up from his mission in McAllen, Texas.
The Lobato's (the senior couple there) took us all across the border one day. Wow. I don't need to say too much about that, other than what a blessing it is to live in America. Duff got some hurache sandals and I got some mexican vanilla and the tablecloth.
We used it on our table for my birthday dinner and it's been on ever since.
I took it off today to wash and discovered: gravy, avocados, salsa, ketchup, and a host of other stains from the last two weeks menus.
Enter: OXI-CLEAN.
I discovered this stuff last fall while visiting my mom and dad.
It is amazing. I had seen all the commercials/infomercials about it and just thought, yeah right. But I have to say, it does what they say it does.
Not only do I use the powder for my laundry needs and various other cleanng things, but I like the spray and stick versions too.
I keep an old ice cream bucket in the sink in my laundry room filled with some cold water and a scoop of the powdered Oxi-Clean dissolved together. I toss my dishcloths, towels, shirts, socks, etc. into it inbetween laundry days. When it's time to do laundry, I wash as usual.
Brilliantly white, clean, no stains left. Colors intact. (I do not use it on dark colored anything.)
My Mexican Lace tablecloth is gorgeous again.
