For advice on the go, consumers can check out myStain, Clorox's handy mobile app that's available for iPhone®, iPod Touch®, iPad™ and Android™ smartphones.

The myStain app also includes an interactive game in which people can spin a wheel of stains and life situations to get funny stain removal tips for all occasions.
"Let's face it, with a house full of holiday cheer and guests, stains happen," said Dr. Laundry. "But between the hotline, my blog, and the myStain app, we've hopefully given holiday hosts and hostesses enough tools to keep post-party clean up to a minimum, allowing them to spend more time with friends and family and less time in the laundry room."
