STAMFORD, Conn.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Did you know that every uniform at the Little League Baseball® World Series is washed with all® and Snuggle®? In fact, all® and Snuggle® have washed over 108,000 uniforms to date. For six straight years, all® and Snuggle® have been the Official Laundry Products of Little League® and this year they are back, stronger than ever, providing families with effective stain fighting and odor eliminating solutions that will keep uniforms clean and smelling fresh for game day and every day.
There’s nothing like seeing your little slugger run the bases after their first hit, but post-game laundry can be challenging with stains and odors. To ensure Little Leaguers are looking their best, all® OXI liquid detergent strikes out stains with concentrated cleaning power and in-wash pre-treaters. For added convenience, all® mighty pacs® 4-in-1 is a home run with four cleaning benefits: tackling pesky odors, fighting tough stains, whitening and brightening in one powerful pac.
For long-lasting freshness, Snuggle® SuperFresh® (Sheets, Liquids and Boosters) features odor-eliminating technology that helps removes odors from laundry, whether you’re washing your little one’s baseball uniform or a load of towels. The Snuggle® SuperFresh® line helps keep clothes smelling fresh wash after wash and provides the ultimate in Snuggly softness.
“For the past 6 years, all® and Snuggle® have helped Little Leaguers® look and feel their best on game day because our products were designed to fight the toughest of stains and odors whether they’re running the bases on the field or playing catch in the backyard,”said Bridgette Miller, Vice President of Marketing for the all® brand. We believe in providing a loving combination of clean and care with solutions to help families tackle any laundry need, and this partnership has given us the opportunity to reach more people and show them why we’re the trusted brands among families.”
all® and Snuggle® will be onsite at the 2018 Little League Baseball® World Series to offer players, families and attendees a fully interactive and immersive fan experience at the Family Fun Zone. Guests will have some fun in the sun at the ballpark with exciting activities, games and prizes, including an all® exclusive pin, Snuggle ® Bears and the chance to hang out with the iconic Snuggle® Bear who may be spotted around the Family Fun Zone or playing catch with some Little Leaguers®.
