Wisk and Oil Stains, Yes it does work!

November 18, 2010 By 2 Comments

Wisk has been putting the three most popular stains to the test.

The Three Most Popular Stain Groups:

* Carbohydrates such as milk chocolate
* Proteins such as grass
* Oils such as peanut butter

I’ve been writing about Wisk for a few months now. Two months ago Zoe and I did a Protein stain test using Wisk. Last month Zoe and I set out to find out if Wisk really could demolish Ketchup. Zoe, Miles and I have been diligent testers while trying to prove that Wisk does indeed work and every project even when I had my doubts Wisk came through and dissolved those pesky stains. Sometimes I wasn’t able to prove it in the instant camera setting that I have. Perhaps just to prove it to everyone I should have edited the video but sometimes I feel that editing the video will make it seem like something is awry. So I just taped and uploaded for all to see. Here is our latest test. The Oil Verses Stain Spectrum Technology test.

The Supplies:Wisk Oil Test Supplies

A hand towel
Compact mirror
Toiletry bag
Lip gloss 
A new bottle of Wisk Stain Spectrum laundry detergent

The Test:

 

In the video, Zoe put on the lip gloss. Then she kissed the hand towel. I didn’t think there was actually enough on the towel to give the Wisk a true test so me being me, I just directly smeared the lip gloss on the towel. Of course, Zoe’s portion of the stain came out right away, but mine didn’t. After using the washing machine the stain came completely out. It just needed a full cycle of detergent, and water to come out and not my 1 minute of swishing around in hot water. Also, remember to visit Wisk at www.Facebook.com/Wisk and follow @Wisk on Twitter for more information.

The Troubles of that Pesky Ketchup Carbohydrate Stains and Wisk

October 8, 2010 By 10 Comments

I’ve been writing about Wisk for a few months now. Last month Zoe and I did a Protein stain test using Wisk. Today Zoe and I set out to find out if Wisk really could demolish Ketchup. I was given the assignment of cleaning a white shirt that had ketchup on it. Now, I think I was supposed to clean it right after getting ketchup on it but I wanted to make a challenge for Wisk. Can Wisk get out set in carbohydrate stains.

Set up:

I put Ketchup on a white t-shirt and let the stain sit for a few hours.

Time:IMG_5459IMG_5461

Put Wisk on the shirt IMG_5462

Here is the video of us getting the ketchup out!

Final Results:

There was still just a bit of ketchup on the shirt, it was very very faint but it would be enough to drive me crazy. This is what I think would get the stain out. Before throwing it in the washing machine, pour some Wisk on the stain directly and let it sit for at least five minutes. Then put it in the washing machine as you normally would and I have a feeling the stain would come out. I don’t usually have trouble with ketchup coming out of clothing anymore anyways. My kids are always covered in some kind of food and we get the stains out. SO just follow those instructions and I know you’ll be fine! Stain Spectrum Technology will get out stains in all of the groups.

The Three Groups:

* Carbohydrates such as milk chocolate
* Proteins such as grass
* Oils such as peanut butter

Wisk HE Protein Stain Fighting Experiment

September 2, 2010 By 6 Comments

My kids get food, grass, dirt, who knows what sometimes, on their clothing and if it doesn’t end up on top of the washer when they take it off, I forget to treat it. Things like Spaghetti sauce and blood sometimes just do not come out unless they are pre-treated. Wisk, cuts out a step. As you can see in this video, Wisk gets it all out, but feel free to pre-treat a stain you may be worried about.

 

IMG_4838Experiment Supplies:

Protein-Stained Swatch, Dropping Pipette, Plastic Beaker, Goggles, Lab Coat, Bottle of Wisk® Laundry Detergent

Steps:

Fill the Plastic Beaker with warm water

Lay out the Protein Stained Swatch

Pour some Wisk into the Lid

Fill up the Pipette with Wisk from the lid

Spell or draw something on the Protein Stained Swatch

Let it sit for a few a little bit

Then place the fabric in the water and swish it around.

While I was doing this experiment with my daughter she asked a lot of questions. One of them being what was the Protein symbol for. The whole point of this experiment was to illustrate the stain fighting ability of Wisk. Specifically targeting protein based stains such as grass. The piece of fabric was coated in grass and smelled awful. After we did the experiment it smelled much better. So my answer in the video is incorrect. Also, it was a piece of fabric and not paper. This was step one in finding out if the new Wisk with Stain Spectrum Technology will get out stains in all of the groups without having to pre-treat the stains.

The Three Groups:

* Carbohydrates such as milk chocolate
* Proteins such as grass
* Oils such as peanut butter

Retro to New: Wisk Reinvented

August 10, 2010 By 3 Comments

wisk I’ve been selected to participate as a brand ambassador for Wisk. I’ve seen Wisk and briefly remember the Ring Around the Collar commercials, but I have no experience using Wisk. I’m actually really looking forward to using it and testing out their claims.

Are stains different today then they were 50 years ago. I’m not sure that they are, except that maybe we use more chemicals in everything we do than we used to. I will say though that moms are quite different. We are so much more on the go now then moms were then. With technology at the palm of our hands we just go go go and our kids go go go along with us. I think this action creates more stains because kids are eating on the go, and playing everywhere. What are your thoughts on stains over the years, verses mothers?

Wisk Then:
 

 
Wisk Now:

 

 

My kids get all kinds of stains on them and I had no idea that stains are broken into three major groups and four other groups:

* Carbohydrates such as milk chocolate
* Proteins such as grass
* Oils such as peanut butter

The other groups of stains include:

* Bio such as blood
* Bleachable such as coffee
* Particulate such as dirt
* Synthetic such as ink

I can’t wait to find out if the new Wisk with Stain Spectrum Technology will get out stains in all of the groups without having to pre-treat the stains. Wisk is available in August at major retailers nationwide, such as Walmart, Target and Kroger with a suggested retail price:  $5.99 for 50 fl oz. bottles that cleans 32 loads.
