By Go2Girlz on March 26, 2012 3:16 AM | 56 Comments |

Sponsored: Tide supplied free samples to UrbanMoms and the Go2Girlz panel for trial and reviewLaundry. It seems like a never-ending job. Add kids' clothing into the equation and you've got stain removal and dinginess to contend with as well. Trying to get your children's clothes clean and bright can turn into a job that takes ages: pre-treating stains and then soaking in brightener before you even turn on the washing machine! Which is why the Go2Girlz product testing panel at UrbanMoms was very intrigued when offered the chance to test new Tide Pods: detergent + stain remover + brightener in... More »
