Product Reviews of Tide to Go Instant Stain Remover, .338-Ounce Sticks (Pack of 6)

Product Review: The Post-It for stains
Summary: 5 Stars

I liked the tide stick because of its convenience (easy access and size), easy of use (about the size of a marker) , and effectiveness (cleans up most food stains).

For example, my daughter spilled food on her shirt and my wife used the tide stick to clean up the stain. Both were surprised to see the stain disappear. The product worked. Shortly after, my wife used the tide stick on another child eating mis-happen. On the first day, the tide stick was used a total of three times.

I recommended buying a Tide Stick and putting near the Fridge.

Product Review: These were better when they used a felt tip
Summary: 2 Stars

When these first came out, I thought they were great. In fact, I couldn't believe how well they got stains out. I was very impressed. I always carried one in my purse as I spill stuff on my shirt DAILY. Yes, daily. I'm that messy.

However, not too long into their production cycle, I noticed they changed the material of the tips of these pens. Initially, they were a kind of felt material. A tad absorbent. Now they are hard plastic and I feel this is the reason these no longer work for me. Ever since they changed the tip material, I have been really disappointed with how these pens perform. What I'm left with now every time I try and get a stain out is a two-tiered stain; the larger stain where the Tide liquid expanded to and the original stain itself. Hard to know which is worse - my now larger-in-size and faded two-tiered stain or the original stain itself. Think about it: when you get a stain on something, using something absorbent really helps blot out the stain. With this plastic tip, all you're doing is spreading the stain out to a larger area. I remember when I first used these, the tip would get slightly off-colored...it was absorbing the stain.

Until they switch back to a felt tip, I'm done with these. They are a huge waste of money and succeed only in lightening the stain a little and creating a larger, off-colored surrounding stain.

Product Review: This is Great Stuff!
Summary: 5 Stars

Someone at work told me about the Tide Pen. I was skeptical but I bought one anyway. Now I always carry one in my purse. I've given them to family members as stocking stuffers at Christmas and they think they're great too. I read a bad report about them in a popular "Consumer" testing magazine. I don't know what kind of stains they tested them on but their tester didn't know what they were talking about! I've used mine on blood, coffee, mustard and a myriad of other spills and it hasn't failed me yet.

Product Review: This product is TERRIBLE!
Summary: 1 Stars

I tried this product the other day while at a bar. I tried to remove a stain that resulted from me spilling a little Kung Pao on my shirt that I had a Thai/Chinese restaurant. The stain remover was given to me from a lady that I had met at the bar, and as I tried to use it, I noticed that the tube was really hard and nothing came out as I squeezed it. I tried to loosen the stuff inside the tube with a toothpick, but very little came out. The stuff that did come out wasn't effective at removing my stain (maybe because not enough of the stain remover was applied), but it did manage to remove some of the color in my shirt (that might have been due to the bleach-smelling substance that was in the spot remover). Eventually, I used a spot remover that I had at home and the stain was washed out. Based on my experience with the Tide Instant Stain Remover, I will not buy this product and will not recommend it to my friends. It doesn't even deserve a "1 Star."
