Keep it clean

Shout Triple-Acting

Shout takes clothing stains very seriously.

Its basic spray, Shout Triple-Acting, employs a three-pronged assault: Cling, penetrate and lift. Or, in other words, stick to the stain, dig deeply then pry it up from the fabric.

It’s simple to use. Just spray, rub it in, then let it sit for a while before washing. Then, as long as you haven’t made a big “oops” and used it with something that’s dryclean-only, the stain should be gone.

Or maybe not.

If you’ve got a toughie and aren’t sure what to do, you can give the Shout “Stain Solutions” cleaning guide on its website a try. Wondering how to get milk out of your silk blouse? Shout can tell you.

Of course, the website is helpful, but it’s not completely altruistic, as most of the answers include some sort of Shout product. Shout is pretty honest when it won’t do the job (for instance, a nasty rust stain), and it will tell you how to fix it - sans-Shout.
