DRYER SHEETS
GH SEAL STAR BOUNCE
WRINKLEGUARD
MEGASHEET, $6 FOR 80
Dryer sheets are known for pull-
ing the plug on static, but they
usually don’t leave fabrics as soft
as liquid softeners do. Bounce’s
new sheets are twice the size
of regular ones, so they soften
more and have extra ingredients
to help relax and align fibers for
fewer wrinkles and less ironing.
WHY IT WON We washed
100% cotton sheets, pillow-
cases and dress shirts, and after
tumbling with Bounce, all were
soft and noticeably smoother.you can’t wash an item right
away: Shout is safe to apply
to and leave on fabric for up
to a week. Phew!
WHY IT WON If there’s one
thing we know about in the
GH Cleaning Lab, it’s stains.
Shout’s powerful formula works
not only on fresh stains, but
also on set-in ones that have
gone through the dryer (oops!).GH SEAL STAR GE APPLIANCES ULTRAFRESH FRONT LOAD

FEBREZE CLOTHING
ODOR ELIMINATOR, $5.50
You know you do it — we all
do. We drape items we’ve
worn only once on the
back of a chair with the hope
of rewearing them before
they have to be washed.
Febreze’s new spray can help
get your clothes back into
use. Lightly mist clothing and
allow to dry to nix odors such
as trapped sweat, smoke and
cooking smells.
WHY IT WON Use this genius
formula to get at least one
more wear out of your
clothes. The fine mist pen-
etrates and dries quickly. Plus
it cuts down on laundry and
can keep the house neater.KING-SIZE DETERGENT PODS
GH SEAL STAR TIDE POWER PODS HEAVY DUTY 10X, $12 FOR 21
Today’s large washing machines hold some pretty large loads, and
big loads mean more dirt even if you can’t see it. Tide Power Pods
have more cleaning power than two regular packs to tackle stains
and odors better in large, heavily soiled loads.
WHY IT WON The cotton and polyester swatches we smeared
with coffee, wine, salad oil, lipstick, ink and more and let set for
almost two days came out as close to stain-free as we have ever
seen, even in cold water!82 GH APRIL 2020

GARMENT STEAMER
CHI HANDHELD STEAMER, $49
CHI irons are a Cleaning Lab
favorite, and now this new
slim steamer is too. Comfort-
able to hold and about the size
of a flat iron, it heats up quickly,
is easy to fill and pumps out
five minutes of steam when
you press the button.
WHY IT WON We got pro
results even on the front
placket of a cotton shirt. It
works in any direction without
dripping and has a travel case.
