Back to School with Biz

A new school year means new stains to contend with. This year, I have two kids heading out to the soccer field, and that means grass stains will be plentiful. They are one of the most difficult stains to remove from clothing. Thankfully, my laundry room is stocked with Biz. For Biz, grass stains are no problem.

Biz is really easy to use and one bottle goes a long way.  All you do is add a cup to your laundry and it's like stains never existed. You don't have to worry about pre-treating most of the time, but for every tough stains, like those grass stains, put just a dab on the clothes and let it sit before washing. I've been using Biz  for months now to give my laundry a boost and it's worked great on everything. Wine, grass stains, and formula all come out ten times better with Biz in the wash.  Not only does it keep my children's soccer uniforms looking great, it also keeps their back to school wardrobe free of the mustard and ketchup stains that always seem to occur in the lunchroom. Now, you can even get Biz in their brand new stains sticks, so you can fight stains even when you're on the go.

Biz has been tested and proven to have more stain-fighting power than any of it's competitors. It works on all types of stains including sweat, grass, and grape juice, and it's way much more efficient than laundry detergent alone. Plus, one bottle will last for weeks at at time. If you want to keep your clothes looking their best all year long, give Biz a try! It should be a must have one everyone's back to school shopping list. To learn more about Biz, be sure to visit their website or follow their social media.

Our Thoughts
Kids 'N' Pets products are a staple in our household with a child and dog.  Although, it's mostly stains from the dogs over the years rather than the  one child.  Mostly. :) I do have one cream-colored upholstered chair I am rather fond of that has gotten fairly dirty over the years and I was contemplating the best way to go about cleaning it, especially the place where he-who-shall-not-be-named spilled his cappuccino on it.  Most of it was mopped up, but the hidden part was not. Seems there was plenty of dog hair and a piece of a chip down there too!

The wipes are meant to be pulled thru the small opening in the lid for maximum evaporation protection, but honestly I found it easier to just remove the lid entirely and take the wipes out from there.  There is no excess liquid in the container and due to that natural phenomenon called gravity, the wipes are much more saturated down at the bottom than they are at the top.  I found that to clean this old, dried cappuccino stain, I needed to use the saturated part first and scrub pretty hard.  It took 3 wipes for this area to come clean.  And I realized while scrubbing the best part about these wipes: they don't shred!

If you look closely at the top right of this photo you'll see a stain line I still need to clean up.  It's hard to judge when the fabric is wet with cleaner whether or not you've gotten it all.  It's easy enough to simply let it dry and tackle it again another day if you need to.

Since we somehow didn't happen to have any accidental spills in the duration of this review, I tackled some other older stains I'd been neglecting. The top front half as well as the vertical front part of the chair's cushion was dingy from years of use; I did find it harder to saturate, then scrub using just the wipes, so I grabbed my trusty spray container of Kids 'N' Pets (which I purchased at Walmart), sprayed the area, let it sit a few minutes, and used the thankfully non-shredding Kids 'N' Pets Wipes to clean it.  Again, it's a little hard to see if you got the area clean when the fabric is wet, so be sure to inspect it after it dries and see if you need to re-apply and clean some more.  The below photo is after the first round of cleaning.  I think I got it about 80% clean, but even still it's a huge improvement over looking at a plainly dingy chair!

Another item I attempted to clean was our couch.  With his sensory needs, our son always has his hands in his mouth and subsequently gets drool in the same 3 places on the couch thanks to his saturated hands.   Like the chair above, I sprayed the area first, let it sit, and then scrubbed with the wipes and was even more thankful for their non-shreddi-ness (is that even a word??). I went thru a pile of the wipes cleaning the couch.  That's a cleaning project I'll be repeating over the years until he can fulfill his sensory needs in a less-wet manner.

I also used the KIDS ‘N’ PETS Instant All-Purpose Stain & Odor Remover Wipes on our big front window - I figured the "cleaned" window would have smears, and it did, but that wasn't my concern.  Our son's wet hands are frequently in contact with the window which leads to a buildup of drool.  Glass cleaner can remove it, but it takes some scrubbing.  The wipes cut right thru the dried drool easy as pie and then I just finished up the window with a 50/50 vinegar/water solution to clear the smears.

The adorable, now house-trained puppy in the above photo is responsible for two small stains on the 8 year old carpet that I have as yet to be able to fully remove using Kids 'N' Pets nor any other carpet cleaner (actually there's 4 carpet stains, 2 of which were from a dog that spent a week here). Next time I attempt it, I'm going to take their suggestion from their "Spill It" Q&A on their Facebook page, where they recommend using a half or even a FULL bottle on one stain and letting it air dry.  I hadn't tried using near that much, so next time we're going on vacation, I'll dump a whole lot on the stains and they can air dry while we're gone.

Again, Kids 'N' Pets products are used often in this house - highly recommend!

Remove Tough Stains with Biz

Stains. One of the biggest challenges every mom must face. It starts as soon as your children are born. Formula stains and leaky diapers can ruin your layette. When they start crawling, their knees are always covered in dark stains. Once they hit school age, you have grass on their pants and ketchup or pizza sauce of their shirts. Even when they aren't spilling something, they're wiping their face on their sleeve. How can a mom of four keep her kids' clothes looking great so I can hand them down? Add Biz to my laundry, of course!

Biz is a exciting new stain and odor eliminator, and I'm thrilled to be a brand ambassador for this fabulous company. Being an ambassador comes with perks, like getting a year supply of Biz. And I know I'll use every drop of it.  There are two different ways to use their product. First, you can add a cup to your regular laundry. It will boost the cleaning power of your detergent by as much as 80%! Since I started using Biz, I've seen a big difference in our laundry. Not only do clothes come out cleaner, they just seem brighter and more vibrant.

For really tough stains, Biz can also be used as a pre-treater. Simply re-wet the area, and rub a little Biz directly on the stained area.  Wait 5-10 minutes, and then wash as usual.  I really put this to the test by purposely staining an old shirt with both mustard and hot sauce--two of the things that cause me the most grief.   The results speak for themselves. You can't even tell there was ever a stain there at all!

Biz has been tested and proven to have more stain-fighting power than any of it's competitors. It works on all types of stains including sweat, grass, and grape juice, and it's way much more efficient than laundry detergent alone. Plus, one bottle will last for weeks at at time. If you want to keep your clothes looking their best, and maybe even have a chance to pass them down to younger siblings, you need to add Biz to your laundry routine!

Review: Kids 'N' Pets Stain & Odor Remover

**Product was exchanged for a honest review.**

Back to school season is in full swing and you know what that means! Flu season is upon us. According to the government, up to 20% of people will get the flu this year.* That’s one in five people. And if you’re a family, that ends up being one plus your entire crew. As a precaution, people will stock up on hand sanitizers. And if they are like me, there will be hand sanitizers everywhere – when you walk in the door, in my purse, in the car, etc. The grandmas will have a hand sanitizer and so will everywhere my son goes: pre-K, the doctor, the play area, even the local kid-friendly coffee shop.

But as we all know, hand sanitizer is not enough. Someone will get the flu in our house and will throw up. Throw up is the worst.

And usually the first time it will come as a surprise and end up wherever the child is located. In bed, on the couch, last year it was in his car seat, resulting in a smell and stain that seems impossible to remove.

That’s why this year KIDS ‘N’ PETS Instant All Purpose Stain & Odor Remover is on a mission to become part of every mom’s flu season must-haves. Using a non-toxic, enzyme based formula, KIDS ‘N’ PETS is one of the only products of its kind that removes both stain and odor from any water-safe product.

Throw up in bed: strip the bed and add KIDS ‘N’ PETS in the laundry. While washing, saturate the spot on the mattress and let completely dry

Throw up in a car seat: remove the seat cover, pre-treat with KIDS ‘N’ PETS and put a splash in with your detergent

Throw up on your rug: saturate area with KIDS ‘N’ PETS. Blot to remove excess liquid and stain. Repeat if necessary. For larger areas consider the KIDS ‘N’ PETS 2X Pet Stain & Odor Carpet & Upholstery Concentrate rug cleaner

Let’s not even go to the other end of the flu mishaps.

In addition, here are a few of our favorite “Flu-sentials” for round ups on Flu Season Must-Haves.

· Kiss My Face Foaming Hand Soaps

· The Best Rubber Gloves Ever

· Everyday Laundry Detergent

Our Thoughts

We received the Kids 'N' Pets Instant All Purpose Stain & Odor Remover for review. I L-O-V-E this stuff! We had some old red stains that were in the carpet from the kids and their Kool-Aid drinks. Sprayed the remover on the spots, left for about 30 minutes, blotted up the floor. It worked slick! You can still see there was a stain there but we're planning on using the carpet cleaner when we clean the carpets and pre-treating the spots again. Quite honestly it took 95% of these REALLY old stains out of the carpet! 

We have also used this to remove the stench that comes with cat urine. If you have ever smelled cat urine or have had a cat urinate on a carpet you know that the urine smell is really difficult to get out of anything. Two weeks ago we had to say goodbye to our old boy and we are still finding spots that he had urinated. With the Stain & Odor Remover we have been able to get the smell out of a lot of things that our stuff that our old 19-year-old cat had urinated on. This spray is coming in handy!

Anne, one of the other reviewers, says that she has purchased the same product and has used it to get icky kid poop messes out of her carpet when her son's diapers overflow. She loves it just as much as I do! 

This is well worth the money to have on hand if you have kids or pets!!!
