How to Remove Underwear Stains
Underwear stains are stubborn and unpleasant, but there is no need to spend time scrubbing the stains out.
In a few easy steps, Tide can take care of your clothes and help to get rid of underwear stains.
Remove Excess
Brush off any excess from the garment before rinsing under running water. The higher the water pressure, the easier it will be to remove.

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

Dose
You can also use the cap to ensure you use the right amount of laundry detergent. Just fill it with the correct dose of Tide laundry 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.

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.

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.
