Wisk and Oil Stains, Yes it does work!

November 18, 2010 by Momstart 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:

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 Momstart 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.

Supplies:

Ketchup

White T-shirt

Wisk

Ice Chest

Water

Set up:

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

Time:

Put Wisk on the shirt

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

Retro to New: Wisk Reinvented

August 10, 2010 by Momstart 3 Comments

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.

CBS brings Richard Scarry’s Busytown to life on Saturday Mornings

November 17, 2009 by Momstart 3 Comments

Who what when where why and how,

Who what when where why and how

Let’s solve this mystery.

I was telling my husband about having to review Busytown and he said Richard Scarry’s books?

How is it that my husband knows more about children’s items than I do? Richard Scarry’s books have sold over 150 million copies and have been translated into 30 different languages so I must be living under a rock to not know.

The half-hour program is made up of two 11-minute stories per episode,You can watch Busytown Mysteries on CBS weekend mornings in the Cookie Jar TV block of children’s programming.. Go to http://bit.ly/busytownsched to check when the series is airing in your area.

Busytown is the first series that I literally had to turn the tv off to get my daughter to move. I’m not sure I’m going to say that’s a good thing. It’s an educational problem solving series with cute cat characters that I guess took over my daughter’s mind. We received a copy of two episodes to watch courtesy of One2onenetwork and we watched the same two episodes for three hours.

Busytown also entertains and educates kids at home with the fun, interactive website BusytownMysteries.com where kids can explore different neighborhoods in Busytown, interact with the Busytown characters and play 14 games and activities designed for preschoolers, including interactive games, a Fan Club and “My First Email,” which lets little ones email their progress to pre-approved friends and family addresses.

We went to explore the website and that took their attention away from the TV. They love interactive websites.

I have Crazy Love for Michael Buble

October 7, 2009 by Momstart 4 Comments

I’m so into Michael Bublé. He has words, and style and is my ADULT music that I get to listen to. My son loves him too. I think my son has soul. I found out today that my son likes Jazz. I looked at my son and thought, I am inside you somewhere aren’t I.

I just love all kinds of music, I love it upbeat and down to earth, I like it soft and fast (not hard). His softness and smoothness in his music move me and relax me. And it makes my son sway. He needed some good relaxing music today since he was sick.

Then there are those upbeat times when I feel like doing a little dancing with my kids, the song “Haven’t Met You Yet” is the upbeat one that got us all up and bouncing. I think my son was trying to sing with it too.

His newest album is due to hit store shelves in the US on October 9th but you can purchase Crazy Love on Amazon.

Album Tracklisting:
1. Cry Me A River
2. All Of Me
3. Georgia On My Mind
4. Crazy Love

8. Heartache Tonight
9. You’re Nobody Till Somebody Loves You
10. Baby (You’ve Got What It Takes)

Make your own kooky cuddly creature Smooshies Review

July 20, 2009 by MomStart Leave a Comment

Through the One2One Network we were able to receive a Smooshies. This Smooshies is cute and creative but it’s very hard to put together. The piece of velcro is so small that even mom and dad have a hard time putting it together.

I feel that it would work better for the creative child that can sit and do a craft. They will have more patience to play with it as opposed to an active child that can’t sit still.

What is a Smooshies?

A Smooshies is a doll, or monster rather that comes with eyes, nose, hands feet, wings, crazy accessories to build him yourself. My kids liked them and they don’t care that the pieces don’t stay on. They just like all the pieces and we put them in our own hair. It was fun and did encourage creativity and thinking. We’re in the discovering imagination phase. They are exclusive to JoAnn and retail for 5.99 and 1.99 for accessories.
