Are you ready for a break? Got your Memorial Day weekend plans laid out?

I can't wait since this is a special weekend as the family is throwing a 80th Birthday party for my father-in-law, Norman.

One problem being Dr Laundry is that I am expected to solve the inevitable stains from drops and drips that occur at any party that I attend. Since I won't be at your gatherings, I have a couple of good resources for your party and outdoor stains.

• First, check out the new video (Battling Tough Summer Stains with Bleach) on my blog (http://www.drlaundryblog.com). A lot of your favorites are there, from barbecue to ice tea to grass stains with a blow-by-blow description to help solve these problems.


• In addition, we have again opened our Summer Stain Hotline with the top 10 summer stains and how to solve them. Give it a try at 1-877- STAIN-411 that's (877-7824-6411) to solve berry or ice cream or sunscreen stains on whites or colors.


• And if you are still stumped, don't forget you can contact me directly for a personal response at dr.laundry@clorox.com.

Here's hoping for GREAT weather and a good time off for all.
