Drop the turkey? Spill the cranberry sauce? Help is just a phone call away.

The Clorox Co. has a new, 24-hour hotline, manned by Dr. Laundry, from now through the holidays. Call 866-782-4679 (866-STAIN-RX) for advice on cleaning up stains.

In real life, Dr. Laundry is Harold Baker, a senior scientist at Clorox. A poll lists gravy as the most common food item likely to stain clothes or a tablecloth, followed by cranberry sauce, coffee and red wine.
