Looks like all those other ideas done for detergents. Seen a dozen of these at least already. Creative team didn't even set out to make something new.

Besides, it shows quite the opposite of what it's saying.

Good concept, but the fact that it feels overly art directed, especially with the area around the headline, leads me to believe this ad is clearly in the pro-active realm.

Stain remover ad that uses some overused cliche in a over the top way. Awards fodder...nothing else. meh
