The winners of the 4 coupons for a free bottle of Clorox 2 have been chosen and notified! Be sure to enter this week’s At Home for the Holidays contest (a coupon for a Cook’s ham product!) and a huge contest for a BEAUTIFUL customized blankie (worth $150)!
For the next week or two I will be bringing you a series called “At Home for the Holidays” where I will be sharing some great products, for your home, table and more that you can use to simplify everyday living and holiday planning this year!
As you all know laundry is a year round “issue” with 6 busy boys, so it seems appropriate that today as the first product for At Home for the Holidays, I’m bringing you Clorox 2.
Doing laundry over the holidays can be particularly frustrating when you want everything to look it’s best. Many of us entertain guests during this season meaning extra cleaning in the whole house to prepare. Some even host guests for days or weeks in a guest room … yup, more laundry there too.
Having great options that will get (and keep) my clothes looking fresh and new is a key component to my laundry sanity 
and I’m pretty sure I’m not the only mom who feels that way. Thanks to Mom Central I was able to try out Clorox 2 on my massive laundry basket filled with stinky dirty boy clothes! Now THAT’s a challenge!
Clorox 2 fights stains and brightens clothes better than ever, but I have to admit one of the first things that drew me in was the fact that it is ultra concentrated – little bottle, lots of loads. It really did a great job, and I still love that a little bit really does go a long way.
This week, I have 4 coupons for a free bottle of Clorox 2 and I am offering them to 4 of my readers. Act fast though, this will only last one week. Here’s how to enter:
Visit www.daretobecolorful.com and enjoy listening to what Clorox 2 can do for your clothes. Come back here and leave a comment telling me a little bit about the extra laundry you end up doing during the holidays and you will be entered to win one of these 4 coupons.
Open to US residents. Enter by December 5th.

I don’t know about the rest of you but its just not the holidays but the cold weather, the extra socks, jackets and blankets that end up being washed, then the bedding from guests, and towels from wiping down the dogs and kiddos after playing in the snow. Yep the laundry basket grows so much more in the winter, it never stops.

I am a messy cook. Especially with more cooking and baking with my daughters during the holidays, we dirty up our clothes as well as the aprons that are suppose to keep us clean. Then there are the dish cloths and rags for wiping up messes that need to be washed.

Extra laundry around the holidays seems like a given. There are the extra towels and bedding for family that visit. There are the extra dishtowels and dishclothes that need to be washed from the holiday baking and there just seems to be extra laundry in general around this time of year. I am already a fan of Clorox 2, so a coupon for a free bottle would be excellent!

I have extra laundry because my little girl loves to wear her “holiday dresses” and she will constantly change between her pretty dresses to her normal day clothes– and it seems like I never stop:) Thank goodness she is so cute!

I think the laundry piles up because I get so distracted with other things- wrapping, cooking, entertaining. I hate when I have more than the normal 1 – 2 loads a day.

We have so many different events to go to–most of which include eating–and stains are impossible to avoid! Especially around the holidays, laundry is my life! Thank you for the contest!
December 1st, 2008 at 6:50 am 8
I think I wash the tablecloth a few times a day! Other then that I think the clothes pile up easier because the kids are out of school and I tend to forget!

Loads of table linens & dish towels, etc. What a mess!
December 1st, 2008 at 8:53 am 11
I had lots of extra laundry! My cousin came in from out of town, with her family of 4! So many extra towels from showers and baths! Also my daughter is a very messy eater, and we had 3 seperate dinners in 2 days, so that 3 more outfits of hers! Gotta love the holidays!
December 1st, 2008 at 9:29 am 12
Always more laundry in the winter with more, larger and heavier clothing. then you add the holidays and you have extra linens and such.
December 1st, 2008 at 9:59 am 13
I get out more during the holiday season, so I probably end up doing more laundry!
December 1st, 2008 at 1:52 pm 14
I seem to have more during the holidays. But then again, i have tons all of the time.
December 1st, 2008 at 2:00 pm 15
We do a lot of creative baking with food dye and it seems that no matter how careful we are, I am always doing emergency loads full of stained clothes. I think next time I am going to saran wrap the kids haha
December 1st, 2008 at 3:18 pm 16
always extra sheets and towels for guests to wash
December 1st, 2008 at 4:07 pm 17
My siblings seem to spill everything within their grasp on themselves so we have a lot of extra laundry!
December 1st, 2008 at 4:30 pm 18
More showers in the winter, more towels, more more more
December 1st, 2008 at 4:32 pm 19
I have to do 4 loads of laundry or more a day to keep up with my 4 kids and dear old hubby!!! I constantly do dishes and laundry I have used clorox 2 and like it my kids are SOOOOO messy!!! they spill all the time 8,6,2 girls and 7 month old boy keep me going!
December 1st, 2008 at 5:39 pm 20
mine piled up because we when visiting and brought it all back home
December 1st, 2008 at 6:38 pm 21
The only extra laundry I will have during the holidays would be from my daughter, she won’t be in school and will be changing clothes constantly. thanks for the chance.
December 1st, 2008 at 6:47 pm 22
The only extra laundry I will have during the holidays will be extra kitchen towels.
December 1st, 2008 at 7:06 pm 23
I love clorox!
December 1st, 2008 at 7:56 pm 24
It is so busy during the holidays that we tend to let laundry slide. That is until someone complains they don’t have something. We also are out and about more. Kids playing outside, changing clothes like crazy, parties..etc.
December 1st, 2008 at 8:11 pm 25
We use linen napkins and tablecloths, so I will be doing extra napkins and tablecloths.
December 1st, 2008 at 8:17 pm 26
I do all my linens sometimes daily for the week leading up to Christmas. Thats the one week that we allow all the grands to eat where they want, sleep where they want and just about so anything they want as long as it isnt dangerous. Thusly, sheets, blankets, pillowcases etc are done on a daily bases right along with the linens.
December 1st, 2008 at 8:30 pm 27
I don’t know that there is really MORE laundry during Christmas but I seem to always be behind during the holiday season. Also, we have Christmas eve at my parents and Christmas morning at my inlaws. We usually have one nice outfit each and I have to do laundry after we get home Christmas eve, to have everything done by Christmas morning. It beats having to have to dressy outfits! Thanks for the great contest!

The holidays means extra laundry for me this year…because my son will be coming home from college with a HUGE load of laundry for me!
AND, his little sister (age 3) will be busy making messes with baking, holiday crafts….lots of fun means more laundry!!
December 1st, 2008 at 9:17 pm 30
We invariably have house guests during the holidays which means more towels and sheets to wash. With house guests around, it also means more cooking and baking and with a 5 year old that wants to help in the kitchen… that means there will be more things to wash!
December 1st, 2008 at 9:21 pm 31
more laundry during the holidays, yes, more entertaining, visitors from out of town, more and different functions/events, all this adds up to more laundry. Clorox is a staple in our laundry supply cabinet. Happy Holidays
December 1st, 2008 at 10:10 pm 32
Tablecloths, kitchen towels, and holiday clothes streaked with yummy Christmas food.
December 1st, 2008 at 10:14 pm 33
Winter laundry is so much worse than summer laundry! One sweatshirt takes up as much space as 10 tank tops, so the hamper is overflowing before you know it.
December 1st, 2008 at 10:30 pm 34
We have lots of extra laundry,table cloths,napkins,towels,sheets,coats,sweaters.
All help accepted.Thanks,Anna
December 1st, 2008 at 10:35 pm 35
For me I don’t know if I have more laundry during the holidays or not, but it sure seems like it. I guess maybe because I cook more, we got out more, or we are just plain messier at the holidays. But I always find the laundry piling up quickly during the holidays.
December 1st, 2008 at 10:44 pm 36
It seems laundry triples around winter time at my house. With parents, the in-laws, and other family, it can sometimes get out of hand!
December 1st, 2008 at 11:22 pm 37
All the extra blankies you gotta use when they shut off your utilities for nonpayment
(lol)
December 2nd, 2008 at 12:46 am 38
On top of all the extra clothes you wear in the winter, my cousin is coming over for the holidays with his new baby.. so there will be loads of spit-up bibs and clothes I’m sure..
December 2nd, 2008 at 1:54 am 39
I love Clorox but don’t have any extra laundry during the holidays.
December 2nd, 2008 at 3:52 am 40
Well, it’s time to get out all the flannel sheets, and holiday comforters, so of course I wash all the bed linens
December 2nd, 2008 at 4:32 am 41
2 MANY PLACES TO GO, MUST CHANGE CLOTHES…=AT LEAST 2 MORE LOADS A WEEK!!!
December 2nd, 2008 at 5:38 am 42
during the holidays is when we go away when we come back piles of vacation clothes to clean
December 2nd, 2008 at 5:51 am 43
During the holidays, I end up washing our favorite “party” clothes over and over, because we want to wear them to the different parties we are going to. Thanks!
December 2nd, 2008 at 6:22 am 44
I always have more laundry at the holidays. We have our day and nice clothes and the kids have off school and change during the day.
December 2nd, 2008 at 6:30 am 45
I dont have more laundry around the holidays just more in winter with all the extra layers
December 2nd, 2008 at 8:24 am 46
I love baking. That gives me a lot more towels and aprons.
December 2nd, 2008 at 8:35 am 47
I do lots more towels, plus all the extra clothes from parties and events.
December 2nd, 2008 at 10:41 am 48
The grandkids come from out of state and our washer is going all day it seems like!
December 2nd, 2008 at 11:26 am 49
Tablecloths and napkins. They usually have the greasiest stains on them.
December 2nd, 2008 at 11:39 am 50
i think the laundry fairy takes a lot of baths because i don’t know where all these clothes come from.
December 2nd, 2008 at 12:11 pm 51
I have extra laundry around the holidays because our daughter comes home from college with all her dirty clothes…
December 2nd, 2008 at 12:30 pm 52
We do a lot more extra laundry because we change our clothes more
December 2nd, 2008 at 1:53 pm 53
more towels and sheets
December 2nd, 2008 at 5:11 pm 54
Tablecloths and dish towels from washing all the cookie bowls.
December 2nd, 2008 at 5:22 pm 55
Extra? I couldn’t possibly be doing any more laundry than I’m doing now–a load per day.
December 2nd, 2008 at 7:06 pm 56
This time of the season, there are hunting clothes, ski clothes, gloves, hats, mittens, warm socks, and extra towels/sheets for guests – those are the extra items that keep us busy with laundry during this season.
December 2nd, 2008 at 7:35 pm 57
Seems they change their clothes 2x a day during the holidays
December 2nd, 2008 at 8:12 pm 58
Just UGH
December 2nd, 2008 at 9:38 pm 59
We go out and have people over more during the holidays. We made have to change outfits more than twice a day at times and that means more laundry.
I’ve learned to just throw a load in to wash before I go to sleep and toss them in the dryer in the morning. This makes it a little easier to manage the extra loads.

December 3rd, 2008 at 3:05 am 61
There is just always too much laundry!
December 3rd, 2008 at 8:44 am 62
Not only am I an avid baker (hence flour everywhere ALL the time), but we have two young dogs… need I say more? Muddy pawprints, licked walls, drooly blankets are a part of our daily lives!
December 3rd, 2008 at 2:06 pm 63
I think the laundry piles up because I get so distracted with other things.
December 3rd, 2008 at 4:15 pm 64
the winter coats take up alot of space
December 3rd, 2008 at 5:58 pm 65
I have a lot of extra socks and jackets to do! It just gets so cold! haha
December 3rd, 2008 at 8:03 pm 66
I do so much laundry, especially in the winter, that I never really notice when there is more….I just know that it never, ever, ever ends!!
Thanks for the great giveaway.
December 3rd, 2008 at 8:08 pm 67
more company means more laundry-towels, linens. And I do use tablecloths during the holidays which can get stained
December 3rd, 2008 at 8:24 pm 68
we wash all new clothing before wearing it since both my boyfriend and daughter are quite sensitive when it comes to clothing and my autistic son doesn’t like rough things on him. So all new clothes means everything must be washed. Company means extra bedding and clothes!
December 3rd, 2008 at 9:33 pm 69
My sons will be home for the holidays and they’ll have some laundry. Plus extra towels from their showers, and extra from more kitchen use laudry. Thanks for the contest.
December 3rd, 2008 at 11:46 pm 70
All the dishtowels in the house and extra clothes and bedding too.
December 4th, 2008 at 3:30 am 71
Because we put out holiday towels, and the kids are always all over the place…changing clothes more often than ever because they are so busy this time of year (that’s teens for ya!)…I always have a ton of extra laundry over the holidays.
THANKS for entry!

Since the two kids are home from college, we have twice the amount of laundry if not more because kids change their clothes a skazillion times a day.

All the winter weather during the holidays seems to bring in alot of extra laundry… coats, gloves, wiping down feet from kids and dog….
December 4th, 2008 at 9:21 am 75
It seems like with the extra food around my son gets more food stains on him and has to use more clothes! thanks, justicecw@hotmail.com
December 4th, 2008 at 10:27 am 76
My extra laundry during the holidays consists of all the table linens, napkins, etc. In addition to that is the 3 outfits a day my young son goes through because he\’s home all day and loves to play outside. Funny how he loves to GET dirty, but doesn\’t like to BE dirty! Then there\’s all the bed linens from my brother and sister-in-law and their 3 kids staying over. Thanks for the neat giveaway!
December 4th, 2008 at 10:29 am 77
Two laundry problems during the holidays: getting the Christmas stuff out entails laundering them, and then, finding time to do the laundry with all the busyness including church services and rehearsals. Thanks for the giveaway.
December 4th, 2008 at 2:13 pm 78
Really the only extra laundry I do during the holidays comes from all the baking and cooking. I dirty lots of stuff that needs bleaching like bar towels, hand towels, cloths I cool baked goods on, aprons, etc. Thanks!

December 4th, 2008 at 2:45 pm 79
I will be washing more towels
December 4th, 2008 at 3:00 pm 80
Between fancy clothes and the wet weather, I end up doing an extra load a week. Thanks!
December 4th, 2008 at 3:22 pm 81
I won’t hve any extra washing cause I am going to Hawaii!
December 4th, 2008 at 5:27 pm 82
With kids out of school they seem to want to change every hour and put their clean clothes with their dirty clothes so laundry piling up!
December 4th, 2008 at 6:16 pm 83
Well, the problem is I wind up NOT doing any laundry during the holidays then having a huge pile to tackle when they are over!
December 4th, 2008 at 8:39 pm 84
Being a stay at home dad (at home with a back injury after 3 failed surgeries) I’m lucky enough to be spending my days with my 4 yo son Nick and my 2 yo daughter Maddie. My wife doesn’t allow me to do her laundry anymore due to my “addiction” to clorox (I’d drink the stuff if I’d survive…only kidding) but being a police officer, I know all the outside the laundry room uses of bleach as a disinfectant, but I have gotten alot better with the laundry.
December 4th, 2008 at 8:42 pm 85
We do twice as much when our family stays with us
December 4th, 2008 at 9:08 pm 86
It feels like the laundry is never ending here normally, but during the holiday season there’s more with the cloth tablecloths I bring out, plus the extra cloth napkins from company.

We have a steady stream of family & friends visiting during the Holidays so there are plenty of towels, bedding, and table linens, napkins, etc. to keep the old Maytag humming right up till New Year’s Day…
December 4th, 2008 at 11:33 pm 88
Well .. dont like the extra laundry but it has to get done and Clorox with its trusted name and company can help me with that, so all is Good.
December 5th, 2008 at 12:00 am 89
Thanks for a practical prize. Clorox is something I could really use! My extra holiday laundry will be a college daughter home for the holidays! Gotta luv her! Both the I can’t wear the same clothes all day plus the extras she just didn’t have time to do!! Did I mention three towels for every shower?
December 5th, 2008 at 4:36 am 90
We always end up doing about 4x as many loads of laundry during the holidays, thanks to visiting relatives/friends. It gets pretty crazy.
December 5th, 2008 at 5:56 am 91
My kids feel that several Wardrobe changes are a holiday necessity! That adds up to a lot of dirty clothes on their floors!!
December 5th, 2008 at 6:58 am 92
I can’t blame anyone but myself for the extra laundry I have during the holidays. I love to put the kids in sweet little holiday outfits, and I change them over and over. This makes for some ferocious laundry piles!
December 5th, 2008 at 8:27 am 93
I always have a lot of laundry to do, so this would be a nice prize.
