The weather is warming up and our family is starting a new season. Soccer has yielded to soft ball and the house is getting some much needed upgrades. We are a “DIY” kind of family and have definitely thrown ourselves into all things spring. We believe in hard work and that hard work is paying off.

My kids love their sports and the time they spend running around does a number on their uniforms. The stained cloth is proof of their hard work and sometimes I worry the marks will never come out. I’ve learned in time that if you mix OxiClean Versatile Stain Remover with water (following the instructions on the package) and apply the solution, everything gets clean in no time. By letting it stand for a few minutes, scrubbing as needed, those uniforms look as good as new.

I love working with my hands and making my house over just the way we want it. It’s hard work, but it’s paying off. I can see our visions coming to life and it’s exciting. It’s definitely hard on the body though, all this hard work has reminded me that I’m not as young as I used to be. My muscles are grumbling by the end of the day and I’ve been eager to find relief. That’s where A535 comes in. Before going to bed, I rub and soothe my sore muscles (all of them!) with Rub A535 Extra Strength Heating Cream. It works fast and is non-greasy so I can put it on right before going to bed and it won’t stain the sheets. The last thing I need after all this hard work is to have to wash the bedding again.

For everything, there is a season, and this is a season of hard work that pays off. Dirt might stain uniforms, and my muscles might complain, but it all comes out in the wash and I feel better at the end of the day (thanks to A535 and OxiClean.)
