Style Expert Sam Saboura Offers Tips to Keep Clothes Looking Great This Spring
Using Clorox 2(R) Stain Fighter & Color Booster

OAKLAND, Calif., May 19 /PRNewswire/ -- After several months of cold and
dreary weather, many families are gearing up to get outdoors and enjoy the
spring season, switching out heavy sweaters for lighter and colorful clothes.
However, fun in the great outdoors can take a toll on clothing with dirt and
stains that laundering with detergent alone can leave behind. Style expert Sam
Saboura (TLC's "Real Simple. Real Life" and author of Real Style) is
partnering with Clorox 2(R) Stain Fighter & Color Booster to share tips for
fighting tough stains and keep clothes looking great throughout the season.
Color safe Clorox 2(R) is not only powerful enough to fight the toughest of
stains, but it also boosts the color of clothes.

"Small changes to your laundry routine can make a big difference in getting
out the toughest stains from favorite clothes and enhancing the overall look
of your clothes," said Saboura. "Adding Clorox 2(R) Stain Fighter and Color
Booster to your load is an easy and effective way to tackle stains but also
boost the colors of your family's spring clothes."

Clorox 2(R) works with detergent and fights tough stains, and when used as
directed, will not harm the color of clothes and linens. Use Clorox 2(R) to:
-- Pre-treat tough stains: Pour a little Clorox 2(R) directly on stains,
let it sit for five-to-10 minutes and rub. Launder immediately.

-- Fight stains in the entire wash load: Add Clorox 2(R) to your entire
colored wash load to fight stains.

Tips for Adults' Clothes

Sam Saboura offers a few timeless and seasonal tips for moms and their
families:

-- Color is key this spring, so try adding a bold pop of color to your
existing wardrobe basics to keep things stylish and cool. The trend is
to mix your favorite bright tones with neutrals like beige, grey, or
black. You can keep your colors bright and stain free all season long
by
washing them with Clorox 2(R) Stain Fighter & Color Booster.
-- It's the season of the pant, and anything goes--from slim and
cropped, to loose and flowy. Use pants you already have hanging in the
closet, and roll them into small cuffs just above the ankle. Pair them
with flats, or embellished gladiator sandals and you'll own this
trend without spending a dime!
-- A great-fitting pair of dark jeans is one of the most versatile pieces
of clothing you can own. Some general rules are: boot-cut for curves,
slim styles if you're long and lean, straight-leg for petite
frames, and wide-leg for fuller, taller figures. To properly care for
your denim, turn your jeans inside out, and always wash them in cool
water with Clorox 2(R) Stain Fighter & Color Booster to lose the
stains and keep the color.
-- One of the best ways to stay cool and stylish this spring is to layer
sheer, lightweight tops. Keep the palette soft and neutral for a light
airy look. You'll love the ease and comfort of this simple trend.
-- Bright bathing suits in bold prints and solids are great for the pool
and the beach, plus they really set off that summer tan! Keep your
swimwear and beach towels from fading and always looking their
brightest
by washing them in Clorox 2(R) Stain Fighter & Color Booster.

-- In today's economy, it's all about looking great on a budget.
So become a Recessionista! Try shopping at your local vintage or
resale
store before hitting the mall. You're sure to have clothing no one
else will have, and you can find some awesome deals on gently worn
clothing. Skipping the mall can be a fun adventure that's also easy
on your wallet.

Tips for Kids' Clothes
Kids love to be creative and express themselves through their clothing and
style, but if spending a fortune on trendy clothes is not on the agenda, try
these simple tips:

-- Kids' school uniforms and team jerseys can be an expensive
investment, so use Clorox 2(R) to help maintain the "first day of
school" look all year long.
-- Moms will agree there's a lot of fun fashion out there even for
little ones. However, kids are hard on their clothes - especially at
the
age when they first start eating on their own. Pre-treat those
food-stained garments with Clorox 2(R) and then pour a capful into
your
entire colored load.

-- Try layering basic T's, shirts, and tops your kids already have in
their closets with cool contrasting colors to get a super stylish
spring
look. Plaids, checks, stripes and bold prints take on new life when
paired in unexpected ways. Long sleeve Ts under short ones for boys is
sporty and hip, and a bright tank top layered over a short sleeve T is
great for girls!
