Customer Reviews of Tide to Go Instant Stain Remover, .338-Ounce Sticks (Pack of 6)
Customer Review: Life-saver
Summary: 4 Stars
I was 5 minutes early getting out of the house to go to work one morning so I decided I could stop by a coffee shop and get a mocha. On my way back to my car the mocha "splooshed" out of the sipping hole in the to-go lid and got all over my sweater...naturally, that day it was a white silk knit sweater. So I had these large dark brown coffee/chocolate stains, and a decision to make about whether to make myself extremely late to work by going home to change.
The cafe was next to a supermarket so I decided to go buy a Tide to Go pen and give it a try. I applied it as directed to the stain and immediately the stain lightened noticeably. I was a bit worried because after treatment there were still light tan stains visible, but after blotting the excess liquid and letting the sweater dry while wearing for about half an hour, there was no hint that any mocha had ever touched my sweater.
The cleansing agent also gets points for not damaging my silk sweater, despite the fact I was rubbing the product in fairly vigorously (out of desperation...I was going to be late for work!)
I'm not sure how it would work on other stains but I will keep one in my purse from now on. On the packaging it does identify which sorts of stains it works best on, and which it will be less effective on. From other reviews this will not work so well on some common food stains, so that's why I'm giving 4 stars and not 5.
Another minor concern is the warning about blotting the fluid if fabric will come into contact with direct sunlight. It doesn't say what will happen if you allow saturated fabric to see sunlight. Perhaps there is the potential for color/fabric damage?
Customer Review: Don't take my word for it, TRY IT
Summary: 5 Stars
I first used a Tide pen (aka Tide to Go) when I spilt soda pop on my white (of course!) shirt. My best friend gave me her pen to use, several hours later, and the stains disappeared.
I just used it on bbq sauce on my shirt, no sauce left!
BEST YET: I used it on a well set-in, multi-laundered stain on a sweater. The stain is barely noticeable.
This is on my VERY short list of products I cannot live without!
Customer Review: Effective Coffee Stain Spreader
Summary: 2 Stars
This morning I spilled coffee on my "million dollar" white dress shirt. It left me with three large coffer stains. I remembered that I had my Tide To Go in the car. After drenching the stains with the solution and rubbing them per the directions, most of the coffee stains had disappeared....what remained, however, were large coffee colored rings at the edges of where the solution had spread. So, most of the coffee stain was gone, but I'm left with the unsightly rings...not quite as noticeable, but there're still there.
Customer Review: Absolutely amazing. You have to try it to believe it!!!
Summary: 5 Stars
I am a skeptic by nature. As someone with a degree in business I expect marketers to stretch the truth, at a minimum. I purchased this product thinking if it didn't work it was only few dollars. The guys at work were as skeptical as I was until the first coffee spill. This little pen even removed a coffee stain that was 4 hours old. We were all absolutely amazed!
I have used this product on the following stains and it removed them completely:
1. fresh coffee stain
2. 4 hour old coffee stain
3. balsamic vinegar
4. make up (foundation)
5. marinara sauce
6. olive oil
7. soy sauce
If you or your significant other are spill prone, pick one of these up right away. I have one in desk and another one in my purse. I knew Tide had a winner when the guys at work began purchasing their own Tide to go pens after using mine.
I can not recommend this product highly enough. It is actually one of those products that does everything that it claims.
Customer Review: Wouldn't have believed if I haven't tried...
Summary: 5 Stars
Everyone elses' rave reviews on this product were quite impressive, so I decided to give it a try. I would not have believed it unless I tried, and IT WORKED! But don't take my word for it - try it and SEE for yourself! Remember, works wonders on "FRESH" stains. Don't let the stain sit on clothes too long.
