Kick Off the Holiday Season by Sharing Your Most Bleachable Moment and You Could Win $20,000
NEW YORK, Dec. 2, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- In-law invasions, holiday hoopla havocs, dinner debacles. No matter what you're getting ready to celebrate, you're not immune to the messes that seem to always accompany holiday cheer. In fact, sometimes the "yuck" is so over the top that the only solution is to reach for the bleach. Clorox calls these "Bleachable Moments." They happen all year, but the holiday season is full of them; it's enough to leave anyone "holidazed."
