OMO Goodness It’s Clean in a Jiffy + GIVEAWAY

Jan 16 2015

You may remember back in November when I shared my great day that took a turn for the worst. Well on that day I met two lovely ladies representing Unilever. I discovered that many of my favourite and most used household products were in fact a Unilever brand. Omo, Surf and Comfort are the laundry brands I tend to stick with because they have proven themselves time and time again. The school that my boys attend have chosen white uniforms which is quite unfortunate for every parent that is required to keep these shirts stain free and bright. It can be an absolute nightmare because for some reason the dirt seems to be attracted to them or the kids (I’m not sure which is dirtier at the end of the day). Omo Ultimate I have used Omo for their uniforms for years because it is more effective at removing stains than many…
