I Put Resolve In Wash Laundry Stain Remover To The Test

Have you seen those cute Resolve® commercials on TV or online? You know, where the mom at home tests a Resolve® product and it looks like a home video? Well, that’s because it is! Resolve® often asks moms across the US and Canada to share their experiences with Resolve® products and share the video with their own audience. While cutting down on production budget has got to be a big perk, I think as a company Resolve® is breaking some ground here, putting their consumers in charge and allowing them to demonstrate their own experience with the product. And, it’s pretty fun being that mom on camera should they share it, right?

Recently, Resolve® asked me if I’d like to be one of those moms. I was tasked with purchasing Resolve Gold® In-Wash Stain Remover powder, and putting it to the test in my own home. If it were summer, I’d have a multitude of stains to choose from – with three kids the most common stain in the spring and summer months is grass stains which I’ve had some varying degree of success removing. The kids also get a lot of mud on their clothes, definitely food stains, and sometimes yes bloodstains from a bloody nose or scrape. Surprisingly, wine spills are not common (why waste wine?) but coffee stains are. So, when choosing a clothing item to use Resolve Gold® In-Wash Stain Remover on, a coffee stain was the inevitable choice. On a recent Sunday morning, my husband was sipping his coffee and playing a game on his phone when our 35lb Labradoodle jumped up on the sofa. It was funny to me, maybe not so much for him. To add insult (or paranoia?) to injury I told him to leave it be, and didn’t wash the shirt because I knew we’d be doing a product test with Resolve® the best day. Yep, I let the stain sit there on his $90 shirt overnight because that’s the kind of fun wife I am!

Here’s our video sharing our Resolve Gold® In-Wash Stain Remover review. Spoiler alert: the stain is gone, and we get to keep our cute Labradoodle! 🙂 Truthfully, I was a little worried. Being that it was a light-colored shirt, and a coffee stain that sat for 24 hours, I wondered if Resolve® would be up to the job! However, after pre-treating the stain with a paste made with Resolve Gold® In-Wash Stain Remover and water, letting sit for 30 seconds (you can let it sit for a max of 5 minutes for intense stains), then rinsing, it was clear right away that it took care of the stain in the pre-treat phase alone! Still, for full transparency, we washed the shirt (adding 1/2 scoop of Resolve Gold® In-Wash Stain Remover to the wash) and dried it as usual and opened the dryer to find a perfectly clean shirt.

I am now a believer and will be recommending Resolve Gold® In-Wash Stain Remover to family and friends. I admit, in the past I have been lazy about stain removal – either by pre-treating it and then tossing it in the laundry hamper (you should wash right away after pre-treating!) or by simply not using anything at all, forgetting about a stain and tossing it in the washing machine (whoops!) With Resolve®, you can treat stains as old as 7 days old so it’s always a good idea to check your clothing quickly before tossing it in the wash, and if you find a stain simply mix up a paste like I did, apply it to the stain for 30 seconds, rinse and pop it in the wash with 1 scoop of Resolve Gold® In-Wash Stain Remover.
