How to Remove Correction Fluid Stains

When you make a mistake on paper, correction fluid can help.

Where it doesn’t help is when you get it on your clothes. Tide can help you remove correction fluid stains in a few easy steps.

On-the-Go Tip

Carefully apply rubbing alcohol to the spot. Use paper towels to absorb the stain.

Step 1

Pour and Pre-treat

Pour Tide HE Turbo Clean Liquid directly onto the stain. Make sure you completely cover it and let set for 5 minutes. Pour from either the bottle or the cap.

Step 2

Dose

You can also use the cap to ensure you use the right amount of detergent. Just fill it with the correct dose of detergent, and pour it into the laundry detergent dispenser if you have an HE washing machine, or directly into the drum before loading the clothes if you have a non-HE washing machine.

Step 3

Load

Without rinsing off the laundry detergent, place the garment into the washer with other items. Leaving Tide laundry detergent on the stain will give your wash that extra boost of cleaning power.

Wash on the usual cycle, on the hottest wash temperature indicated. Always check the instructions on the garment’s laundry symbols.

Step 5

Unload

When the cycle is complete, unload the garments immediately.

If the stain persists after washing, repeat the previous steps before tossing in the dryer, as drying will set the stain.
