OxiClean™ Max Force™ Spray

WHY?! Why does this and most other laundry stain removers and for that matter, so many other laundry products have to be scented? It's a STAIN REMOVER!. It should be putting nothing INTO my clothes, not color, not 'good vibes', not scent! What logic is this? And the scent is so strong in this product that my laundry room, next room, and whole load of laundry stunk after it was done - and I only treated 2 small stains on 2 articles of clothing in a full load. Plus, I'm a guy. I don't want anything I'm wearing to smell like fruit or flowers! Unacceptable. I won't be purchasing/using this again, and the remainder of my existing bottle will be disposed of. At least it removed one of the stains.

Not only does OxiClean not remove stains, but it actually makes them worse. It kept leaving huge greasy looking spots where I sprayed it. I nearly ruined half a dozen cotton polo shirts until I make a solution of baking soda and dish detergent and scrubbed the areas. That worked. I will never use this product again, either regular or max.

It does a good job removing stains and as long as you give it several hours to soak. Its nearly useless without the soak time. This leaves an extremely strong scent on your clothes that lasts for days even when using a very small amount of the spray. I refuse to believe anyone would consider the scent pleasant or desirable. Its a complete deal breaker. The scent lasts even longer on synthetic fabrics. Even after a full week and several wears my polyester fleece is still unbearable to wear for an extended time. I even ran it through an extra rinse cycle to no avail.
