Julie's Journal

I put the new Wisk® Laundry Detergent Stain Spectrum™ Technology to the test again, and this time it was on a carbohydrate stain.

Carbohydrate stains are things like chocolate milk, ketchup, barbecue sauce, and syrups. Pretty much all the types of foods your kids love to eat.

After seeing how easily the new Wisk® Laundry Detergent was at removing grass strains, I had no doubt in my mind it would work just as well on ketchup. And it worked like magic! See for yourself:

So how many of you are still using those cone air fresheners in your house? At first they look okay, and they do smell nice, but after a while the cone dries up and they just look nasty, right?

Well that is what I love about the Febreze Set & Refresh. You just pop the oil cartridge into the holder and set it where ever you want a long lasting scent to be. They blend right into the decor of your home, and never look out of place. Consider it the anti-cone.

Febreze Set & Refresh are available in 6 fresh scents:

• Meadows & Rain
• Spring & Renewal
• Linen & Sky (pictured above)
• Hawaiian Aloha
• Thai Dragon Fruit
• Apple Spice & Delight (limited edition)

You can read more about the Febreze Set & Refresh on the Walmart website, and take the survey Are You Living With Cones. Share your results on Facebook and you could win a $5.00 gift card to try the Febreze Set & Refresh at home.

I also have three $5.00 Walmart gift cards to giveaway so you can buy the Febreze Set & Refresh right here on my blog. Good luck!

I finally got a bottle of the new Wisk® Laundry Detergent Stain Spectrum™ Technology that I told you about here. And I put it to the test right away on a protein stain.

Protein stains are things like eggs, baby formula, and spinach. But the most common one you’ll recognize is the grass stains that are on your kid’s pants after they come inside from playing. After putting the Wisk® Laundry Detergent to the test, I’m fairly confident to say you won’t have any trouble getting protein stains out again.

See how nicely the new Wisk® Laundry Detergent Stain Spectrum™ Technology removed the protein stain:

Depending on how old you are, you may or may not remember the old Wisk® laundry detergent’s Ring Around The Collar commercials. A lot has changed with the old Wisk® laundry detergent, and with it’s new Stain Spectrum™ Technology, this definitely isn’t your mother’s Wisk® that she used.

How many of you still pre-treat collars with your laundry detergent cap this way? I do, ha!

As the first liquid laundry detergent to market in 1956, Wisk® has been cleaning America’s laundry for the past 50 years. Now, they’ve upgraded their product, with the powerful new stain fighting formula, Stain Spectrum™ Technology.

When I was growing up my brother and I didn’t hang around inside the house watching TV or playing on the computer. We were outside, riding bikes, catching frogs and tadpoles at the pond, and getting dirty. My mom had some dirty clothes to clean!

Today, my teenage boys don’t get as dirty as I did, but my youngest is a skateboarder, so he comes home pretty stinky and sweaty. And don’t get me started on his socks…NOT a pretty smell, gag. The joys of having boys I’m really looking forward to trying the new Wisk® laundry detergent.

Here’s the new Wisk® laundry detergent of today…a whole new way to look at stains, forever!

New Wisk® with Stain Spectrum™ Technology is engineered to target the major stain groups:

• Carbohydrates such as milk chocolate
• Proteins such as grass
• Oils such as peanut butter
• Bio such as blood
• Bleachable such as coffee
• Particulate such as dirt
• Synthetic such as ink

Wisk® laundry detergent is available in August at major retailers nationwide, such as Walmart, Target and Kroger. Suggested Retail Price is $5.99 for 50 fl oz. bottles that cleans 32 loads.

I had the chance to try out Vons Home Grocery Delivery for the first time last Saturday, and it was such an awesome experience! We had planned to have a yard sale all day, so I ordered my groceries on Friday night for delivery on Saturday.

Ordering my groceries from the website was really easy. I used the “Shop By Aisle” feature to quickly find the products that I wanted, which made it super easy. They also list the sales, and Von’s card savings items, so I ended up saving $25.00 on my order.

My delivery guy Rod was super professional and friendly. He knew that this was my first time ordering, so he gave me a tour of the truck to see where he stored the different type foods. His truck has a dry section, the freezer section, and the refrigerated section. My delivery number was 005, so he checked in all the sections for the crates labeled with 005.

I was pretty busy with my yard sale at the time, so I didn’t notice that I was missing some items until about 30 minutes later. I immediately called the customer service number on my invoice, and Rod called me back from his cell phone within minutes. He was back at my house with the missing items within 20 minutes. Now THAT’S excellent customer service!

I was VERY satisfied with this service, and will use them again when I know I’m going to be too busy to get to the store. Do any of you use home grocery delivery services? How do you like it?

If you haven’t used home grocery services before, I have an exclusive promotion code for free delivery and $7 off your first online order. Just go to Vons Home Grocery Delivery and use JLSJRNL at checkout. ENJOY!

I received two gift cards from DEI Worldwide to facilitate this blog post and help with the expenses. Special thanks to Vons Home Grocery Delivery
