Pros:Convenient container with attached bristle brush for scrubbing, inexpensive and it WORKS!
Cons:I can't think of even one.
The Bottom Line: Shout Gel is an inexpensive stain remover that really WORKS!
If only I could twitch my nose and the dirty laundry could launder, dry, fold and put itself away....
With a family of five there is always plenty of laundry to do. I can get caught up and five minutes later there will be a load waiting for me. Scratching my head, I wonder how on earth this happens so dang fast?
As if bottomless piles of dirty socks and underwear isn't enough.... Add in the endless stains from food, marker, grass and who knows what all else and you might witness this female have an unforgettable outburst. After all, a person can only take so much right? Right.
Well there will be no PMS episodes over laundry stains in my home. There is absolutely no need to sweat the small stuff, especially when I have Shout Gel on standby 24/7.
The 3 P's - Purchasing, Packaging and Price
I typically purchase Shout Gel when I shop at Wal-mart. However, you can find this product at your local drug and/or grocery store too.
Shout Gel doesn't come wrapped in that aggravating plastic, thank goodness. No special tools are required to cut it free so you can use it. Instead, the gel is contained in a no thrills plastic container. The 8.7 oz bottle is white in color with an orange colored bristle brush that is topped with a see through twist off cap.
I paid $2.42 for Shout Gel at Wal-mart last week. If you like to save money, coupons can be found for this product on a regular basis in the Sunday paper.
How Does It Work?
Using Shout Gel is relatively simple. You squeeze Shout Gel on the stain(s) and rub it into the fabric using the attached brush. Approximately one to five minutes later you will wash the treated clothing in the warmest water temperature the material is recommended for. If you can't wash the stained clothes right away, it is not a big deal. You can treat the stains up to a week before washing.
Read The Label
Before treating your stains, make certain to read the label. You just might have regrets if you ignore the tip section on the back of the bottle. For example, it is recommended that you treat stains on Khaki, bright or fluorescent colors only a few minutes before washing. I know you wouldn't want to make a mistake that costs you an expensive pair of Khaki Dockers dress pants so remember to read the label.
The Gel - Texture & Scent
Shout Gel is a goop that is clear in color that has a thick consistency. It spreads easily on clothing with the attached orange bristled brush. The gel has a noticeable scent that reminds me of a smell you might would encounter with an All Purpose Cleaner. It is not an overpowering scent for me at all. Once washed, the treated clothing will smell like your washing detergent versus the stain remover.
Shout Gel is Tough on Stains
I have had more than my fair share of opportunities to test the performance of Shout Gel. Treating stains is part of my everyday life with three boys that can't stay clean and a husband that could benefit from a bib. I have been able to remove some pretty awful food, marker and grass stains with Shout Gel.
I can recall only one time when the gel didn't remove all of the stain after the initial treatment. The youngest of my three boys came home from school with ink on his shirt from a busted fountain pen. I immediately treated the shirt and tossed it in the wash. When the spin cycle stopped, I opened the lid and pulled out the shirt that still had a noticeable ink blot. While wet, I treated the affected area once more and back in the wash it went. The stain was gone after the second treatment and wash. Shout Gel really is Tough on Stains.
My Recommendation
I would highly recommend Shout Gel without any hesitation to family and friends. Shout Gel stain remover is inexpensive, easy to use and reliable.
