Not for me
I figured I would try it out. Will say it is not for me. Did not really remove the stain, just did nothing. Also found out that if you don’t use the stick quickly it has a nasty smell. For the cost of the product I figured it would remove at least some of the stains. Sadly will not be trying it again.
The idea of the tide to go stick is great! Unfortunately this product stains clothing by discoloring the areas that have been cleaned if item is not washed right after using this product. Would not recommend using this product on any clothing of value.
This stuff is crap! It smells awful and can't even get a small stain out! Its a total waste of money, surprisingly no other companies have come out with a pen like this for people to try as an alternative.
I recently purchased Tide To Go Stain Remover, I followed the instructions on the label unfortunately the stain was still on my daughters shirt, a friend recommended Resolve Laundry Stain Remover, I followed the instructions and the stain was gone, would recommend Resolve
Considering the price of this product for the amount you get - squat - I definitely wouldn't make a habit out of buying it. It's basically what seems to be a bleach pen. Big deal. And not very good bleach, at that. If you like wearing white pants - your prerogative - this would come in handy. But expect it to last one or maybe 2 uses if you're lucky. I happened to have one in my bag while having lunch at a cafe with my mother. She ordered lasagna and, of course, WAS wearing white pants, as well as a white shirt. We were sitting outside at a sidewalk table and a gust of wind came up and blew her fork which was on top of her napkin, up into her shirt and then it dropped into her lap. What are the chances this would happen? Only when you're decked out in white from head to toe hahaha :-)
Anyways, she was busy a-cursing when I whipped this puppy out, which I had bought about 30 minutes before we met for lunch. I started dabbing it on the tomato sauce stains. And dabbing and rubbing. And rubbing and rubbing. Holy crap, I emptied nearly the whole thing on just one small stain! And of course she was complaining that a wet, stinky spot had soaked right through onto her skin. Did it get it out? Mostly, but after she washed the pants later that night, she showed me that it left a yellowish stain behind. Sexy. Yellow stains on white pants. The one on her shirt really stained because there wasn't enough product left to get it out. Good thinking, Proctor and Gamble!
Expensive, not enough product for more than one stain and it leaves marks behind? No thanks. I myself do not wear much white, especially white pants - the horror! - so I can't see as I'd be really needing this product any time this lifetime.
It's a very expensive dud, Tide. Oxyclean works much better. Or carry around a little spray bottle filled with some 20 Mule Team borax dissolved in water in your bag. It's far more effective - gets stains out completely, immediately (including dried on blood and other nastiness) - can be used on colors, whites and anything else you can think of, and is far, far cheaper to use on a regular basis. Which is why your grandmother used it all those years. It's tried and true. Which Tide Stain Stick is not.
I just used this last week, borrowed from a coworker because when I arrived at work I realized I had a bad stain on my shirt. She suggested I try it and have always wanted to so I gave it a shot. Well, first of all the product didn't work, the stain was still there after the product dried. The part that put me over the edge though was the SMELL!!!!! OMG, it was awful. I asked if the product was old and she said no and that that's what it always smelled like. I had to deal with that smell all day and it was awful. I'm planning on writing to the company to complain too, Tide laundry detergent smells so good, I figured this product would too but was a huge disappointment. I'm glad I didn't waste my money on it.
