This is our third post and second experiment working with Wisk. The first experiment went fabulously well, but when I got this package I have to admit, I was skeptical. You see, this package contained a hamburger press, a cooler, a basting brush, a White t-shirt, and ketchup (I bet you can see where this is headed). That’s right, the goal of this experiment is to see who is mightier – ketchup or Wisk. My apprehension was not in assuming that Wisk couldn’t handle it because in the last few weeks I’ve become a huge Wisk fan. It’s actually because, growing up, I was never allowed to wear white for fear of the dreaded stain possibilities (including ketchup).
I am happy to report that our little Wisk party/cookout went well. The burger press was a favorite, but my little helper ended up partiying herself out and before I knew it I was left to do the experiment on my own. I am glad to report she is feeling all better and when doing the experiment, we made sure she painted her design on the shirt. From there, like most kids, she left the cleaning to the mom in the room.
As you can see a big X was painted on the brand new, white t-shirt. The goal was to paint a design on the shirt, pre-treat it with Wisk, wait five minutes, and then rinse it out until all the soap was off the shirt. From there, it was just a matter of seeing how much of a stain remained. We have one post left. So far we have tackled protein (with our grass patch in our first Wisk Experiment) and now Carbs (ala ketchup stains). The final one will include an oil base of some sort, because Wisk can handle those stains, as well.
After covering the stain in Wisk, we let it sit for about five minutes. Naturally, the only difference at this time is that the stain changed from strictly red to red and partially blue (the Wisk). The ketchup was muted by the Wisk due to it getting wet with the soap. As I waited I hoped that it worked. I was pretty confident (I haven’t found a stain that Wisk couldn’t tackle since I started using it), but I am used to years of ‘don’t spill the ketchup on your clothes’ fear.
During the rinse phase, which took about three to five minutes to wash the soap away in the sink, I noticed the cleaning process began immediately! I definitely was relieved about that. I don’t normally wash my clothes in the sink even though the basic elements of washing are the same. Once the soap was out, I rung out the shirt and opened it up to find the ketchup almost completely gone. There is an extremely light tint to it that is really only noticeable because I knew where the ketchup was on the shirt. I have a feeling that if the shirt is (or had been) tossed in the washer for a thorough cleaning that it would have come out completely.
As usual, thus far, I was thrilled to see the results from this Wisk experiment. It’s nice to know that the usual disasters that come with kids (and some adults) wearing white are a little more bearable thanks to the right detergent. At the beginning of our Wisk campaign we received a bottle of Wisk with our first package. I’ve done quite a few loads since August when we received it, but I should have enough to finish out the last post later this month. Even if I don’t, it won’t matter too much because at this point I am sold and will be picking up some Wisk when this bottle runs out!
