OxiClean ON THE GO Stain Remover Pen to the rescue

OxiClean ON THE GO Stain Remover Pen

It is one pen and it works as a stain remover and scrubber together! Chances are you will be out to eat or at an outing and your clothes are attacked – food, wine, makeup, lipstick, chocolate, spaghetti, soy sauce and more! Having the OxiClean On The Go Stain Remover Pen in your purse or car makes a difference in how hard that stain will be to remove when you get home. In many cases it can eliminate the look of the stain right away.

The pen has OxyClean power, meaning it is formulated with the power of Oxygen to remove these common “On the Go” stains. It works in only 2 steps – squeeze and scrub! Of course, you will remove any of the stain debris, place a napkin or something neutral behind it and squeeze the pen, then use the attached scrubber to work it in.

No worries, the formula is safe on most fabrics and there is NO BLEACH. It simply uses an oxygenated formula to work at the stain. On heavy stains, it works to start the lifting process so you can get home and finish in the wash. Always test a spot first on a fabric in question, but given the ingredients, it should work on just about any fabric.

You can find the OxiClean On The Go Stain Remover Pen in most retailers, including Amazon. Visit OxiCleanPen to learn more. Keep one in your purse, car or out for guests to use when you are serving BBQ this summer!

Send your College Student off with this stress reliever – The Grumpy Octopus

Send your College Student off with this stress reliever - The Grumpy Octopus

Kids are graduated, the Country is heading to post-COVID and once again, we prepare to send our oldest of teens off to College. This means phone calls instead of walking through the door and care packages as our thread of line we have left to them. I had fun putting together care packages when our son went off to College. Had I known about this cuddly and hard-not-to-love plush, The Grumpy Octopus would definitely have lived in a dorm with him!

It is simple, an angry red octopus who is a plush with glitter eyes and a velvet feel. It is hard to stay in a bad mood because when you look over and see its grumpy face it is hard not to crack a smile. I can see him being a dorm pal at homework time or the stormy weather, he will sit and dwell in the pity with your child away from home.

Seriously, you want him, don’t you? He even has an Instagram page! He is created by San Diegan Amr Ahmed, who wanted an original plush for his sister. Inspired by the iPhone emoji and a touch of traits from Oscar the Grouch, Squidward, Grumpy the dwarf, Diego the saber-tooth tiger from Ice Age, Ron Swanson from Parks and Rec, and the infamous Grumpy Cat, he is a great companion who loves to hate everyone as much as they love him.

The Grumpy Octopus is available on Amazon and is a must-have for the dorm, Dad or a gag gift!
