So as weird as this seems, I have been trying to find a really good laundry detergent to help get rid of those abnoxious stains, especially with 3 kids who make the stains! I have tried everything from Dreft, to baby all to just regular unscented All, now I am finally trying Arm and hammer with oxy clean...It's not working as good as I thought it was but it's working better then the others! I think that stains are the worst thing to try and get out and it's just a pain to have to wash over and over and over again to try and get them out. If you have any thoughts on what works, please let me know. With 2 year old twin boys and a 1 year old daughter I need something that works great!

I don't use any of the stuff that's filled with chemicals, I prefer to use the natural products that don't have all that junk in them.
My favorites are all the products that Melaleuca carries. I bought plenty of it to last a while, but I'll have to be buying more soon. I love their dishsoap and all that too.

I have never used the melaleuca products before, but my sister in law used to sell it! My mom order it but not anything with laundry just vitamins. Does it remove already set in stains. I have 3 children all under the age of 3 and sometimes the stains they get, are really hard to get out. I have been washing the stains out before I put them in washer but sometimes it just doesn't work!

I don't have kids at home, but I can make a mess on my own. They have a stain remover spray that's great.

used to keep a stain stick (spray and wash) in my room to treat stains before they went into the hamper. I am not as good about doing it now. I also used the powdered oxy clean that worked great with the spray and wash already on the stain. I have started using the spray oxyclean and I do not think it works as well. I will be switching back over to the powder.

I use Amway stain remover along with oxi clean, and it seems to work pretty good for me. It may depend on what kind of stains they are, since some stains are harder to remove than others. Anything I have with a stain, I will hand wash separately, that way I am personally focusing in on the stain, as opposed to mixing it with all the other clothes. Washing machines just bounce the clothes around, actually scrubbing the stain is much better.
