Honestly, I am normally an Oxi-Clean Stain Remover kind of momma because other than me it's an all male household. Clothes normally never make it through a half day without some kind of mess. With that said, there was a great Prime Pantry deal so I scored a bottle of this. It works well on lighter stains, but anything set in or heavy duty I'll just stick with Oxi. I did find it works well with carpet stains, I pretreated with it before I ran my carpet machine over. So overall, wouldn't recommend for laundry but great for carpet spot treatments.
