With two teenage boys who play multiple sports; sweaty, muddy and stained uniforms are a given. One of my high school age sons plays rugby. Rugby players inherently gravitate towards grass, mud and blood. In rugby, the term “blood sub” occurs when a player must exit the field because of a blood induced hit. The only thing worse than a pair of dirty shorts is when my son brings home a week’s worth of muddy uniforms and jerseys he stashed in the back car. It’s a potential hazmat situation by Friday. However, I don’t freak out about the dirty, smelly jerseys and shorts because I found the all® POWERCORE™ Pacs OXI. These little pacs pack a punch on the dirt and help get his uniforms clean, white and bright. With the debut of Rugby 7’s in the 2016 Summer Olympics and my teens settling into a summer routine it was the perfect opportunity to give my sons a laundry tutorial. all® POWERCORE™ Pacs OXI made this teenage laundry tutorial so easy. My goal was to teach my teenage sons how to do their laundry and show that more responsibility still allows plenty of time for kids to be kids!
The first step was to purchase the all® POWERCORE™ Pacs OXI at Walmart because of the convenience of running in and out when I only have a few minutes. As part of the tutorial, I brought my older son along to show him where to find the laundry detergent when he doesn’t have his mom nearby in college. It was also a subtle way to remind him laundry detergent is not the same as dishwasher detergent.
The aisles at Walmart are clearly marked so locating the laundry detergent aisle was a breeze! On the same trip I grabbed a glass jar and lid for part of my laundry tutorial with all® POWERCORE™ Pacs OXI.
I scheduled 15 minutes out of my boys ENTIRE summer to teach my sons how to do their laundry. I wanted to make this tutorial as painless as possible. I believe visuals are an effective tool in any tutorial so I started with my older son ‘s laundry.I had one of my boys drag his laundry into the laundry room. I reviewed how to separate and sort clothes by color. I kept it simple and ignored the snarky questions like, “What if my shirt has stripes?” There’s one in every family!
We ended up sorting just the whites to keep it easy for their laundry lesson.I then showed my boys where I store the all® POWERCORE™ Pacs OXI. Before the laundry tutorial I snagged vinyl letters and added them to the glass jar I purchased at Walmart. The jar is multi-purpose as it serves to store and remind my sons how to use the pacs. The glass jar is also a great way to know when I need to buy more at Walmart. At this point of the tutorial I had caught my sons’ attention. It wasn’t me as much me as it was the all® POWERCORE™ Pacs OXI. My boys were intrigued by the shape and appearance of the pacs. Both boys commented on the design of the liquid and powder detergent. Both boys grabbed a pac and tossed them in their hands like a rugby or tennis ball. I love the convenience and no mess of all® POWERCORE™ Pacs OXI! The dual powder-liquid combination takes the guesswork out of measuring laundry detergent. I no longer have to clean up spilled powder or liquid detergents on the counter or floor. These pacs are a laundry time saver and the no measure design makes these an almost fail proof to teach teenagers how to do their own laundry!After reviewing the directions on the all® POWERCORE™ Pacs OXI packaging, I had my boys toss a pac in the washing machine. We all leaned over the washing machine and watched the bubbles form as the machine filled with water. There was no measuring or mess! So easy!My son slowly added his pre-sorted laundry into the washing machine! The all® POWERCORE™ Pacs OXI did the work for my boys. The pacs save time and make laundry less of a chore. The powder liquid combination gives their uniforms and t-shirts super cleaning and brightening with every load. My active teens can get their laundry done with little effort and no mess. These all® POWERCORE™ Pacs OXI get my boys back on the field or courts during their summer vacation. With the success of this laundry tutorial I decided to save the laundry folding lesson for another day! I want my kids to have fun during the summer and I want them to know their mom won’t freak out over a pair of muddy shorts. In our family, dirt, mud and even bloody noses means my family is outside having fun. all® POWERCORE™ Pacs OXI makes being a kid just a little easier for the entire family.
With all® POWERCORE™ Pacs OXI in the laundry room I say, “Bring it!” Get the product and purchasing details here all® POWERCORE™ Pacs OXI.

My son is 7 (well, in two days!) and I am already thinking about the teen years and teaching him to wash his own (smelly!) laundry. Your tutorial makes it sound like a breeze! #client
