Tide to Go Instant Stain Remover

A small dark spot appeared on the white section of a new conforter. I did not want to wash the whole thing for one small spot, so I decided to try a tide to go pen. It worked wonderfully well, removed the spot and left no residue that I could detect.

I wore a brand new shirt to work for the 1st time and got mud on my mint green colored shirt. I used the pent to get the mud stain out and it did, however it bleached my shirt and now there is a big white circle. Brand new shirt ruined. So not only did i waste money on a brand new shirt, i wasted the money on buying the tide pen to go thinking it would help. I would not recommend this product at all.

Got three small-ish dark resin stains out of the hoodie I was wearing, treated it with TTG immediately, followed by washing machine cycle and there was no stain. Thank You Tide To Go! This hoodie was pricey and the last one that was made, I would have been SOL otherwise.

Never used the pen till we were recently on vacation in St Lucia. During dinner my husband spilled a small amount of gravy on an inexpensive linen shirt (white with some light plaid colors). Got back to the room and used the pen on the spot. Didn’t even add water to it...next day, we looked it over and could not find where the spill was! I was sold; glad we brought it with us on vacation.

When I first got my tide pen, I loved it! I tried it on a few stains and it worked great. However, I just got a new clothing item (never wore it, still had tags on) and it happened to get a stain. I was so excited I could use my tide pen to easily get it out but the ended up making a stain 4x the size of the original stain. Not happy with it

Used today on a new shirt and it smells horrible. My husband thought the toddler had pooped in his diaper in the car and my oldest son hugged me and ask why I stunk.

I used this product on a hoodie. I applied the stick to a tiny spot and now I have two huge yellowish stains on it from where it was applied.

This little pen works really, really well. Having this little pen handy, I never have to worry about a food stain standing out at meetings or when I meet colleagues at functions.

Bought a 3 pac of this product made my clothes smell horrible. I would expect much better from tide and pg.

While eating beet salad I unfortunately spilled some of it on my white uniform. Fortunately Tide to go was in my truck. Works like a charm

We have used tide to go many times on our shirts, I just used it on my wife's blue and white shirt which she had a sauce stain, we have used the stick on this shirt before with no problems. This time I applied the stick and it removed the stain but also removed the blue stripe and ruined her shirt. I am sure Tide will do nothing about this.

I got a small stain on my brand new shirt and thought I'd use a Tide Pen to get the stain off. Now, I have a large, white spot on my shirt where the pen completely bleached the color out. I'm never using a Tide Pen again and will not recommend this product to anyone.

I'm so disgusted. I had been looking EVERYWHERE for months for a pink shirt for a certain college team. Finally found one and wore it for the first time today. I dropped sauce on it while eating in the car. Well I thought of the tide pen. It worked like a charm in removing the stain RIGHT ALONG WITH THE PINK DYE IN MY SHIRT leaving a white spot right in the middle on the front. It looks like I used a bleach pen instead! I have used tide detergents in various forms so long that I don't remember when I started. I trusted Tide with all my washables... Needless to say, that trust is gone.

I can’t rate something that I can’t use, your review system is flawed!!!! Spent $6.77 Canadian and could not use the product as it was missing the top piece, my guess is that this missed the quality standard testing.

This product is 100% helpful and I will continue to use it.

Bought this as an emergency as I was running errands with my wife and wanted to get out a drop of tomato out and it did not remove the stain at all. I had to buy a three pack.

I used my stain stick on my white shirt when I dropped a small drop of ketchup on it. It took the ketchup out but left a yellow stain on my shirt from the stick itself. :(

Please don’t buy this. It’ll ruin your shirt. I just recently got a new white hoodie and used this to go remove a small stain on my makeup foundation. Left a huge yellow stain on the area.

Tried to get a little salsa off my sweatshirt, and it bleached a giant spot right on the middle of it. Can't wear it anymore.

Used this for a quick spot stain removal on white pants. It left a yellow stain bigger than the original mark. Almost worse, the smell is unbearable. It smells like feces or vomit. Avoid.

I got some oil stains on my brown hoodie and immediately applied tide to go. I then washed it and now there's white spots like its been bleached. Ruined my hoodie. first and last time I use this.

I had gotten some sauce on the inside of my jacket. I tried using the stick to remove the satin. It ended up leaking through my coat and left a green stain in its place.

Major design flaw: the cap simply pushes on & off. The cap always comes off in my bag and it pushes up against stuff, depressing the tip & releasing the liquid. Please make it screw top.

I love using the Tide stick. I have a Tide stick in my desk & it works miracles. It smells like baby vomit, though. Coffee smells the worst to get out. Can we get a nice smell added to it? Lavender?

I spilled a little ketchup on my jeans, dabbed the spot lightly with a wet paper towel and then gently applied the Tide Stick. The spot is now bleach and ruined.

I wish I had never bought this product! This product smells terrible- both me and those around me- can smell this vomit like product after use. DO NOT BUY! I wish you give negative stars.

Recently dropped blueberry pie on my white shirt at an event. Couldn’t change so used my Tidestick. It worked magic and the stain disappeared and saved the day. Thank you!!

The pen smells sour and tide representative said that the has a funky odor is normal.

I always loved the clean look of all white bedding, but have 2 dogs. I bought Tide to go and in between washing my white duvet, I use the pen on any spots that show up. It has worked great!

At work, dropped an orange highlighter on my white skirt. Grabbed the pen, went over the stain a couple of times, gone instantly. Love this Awesome product!!!

My sister spilled red wine on her wedding dress at her reception. It was a BIG stain. After dabbing the Tide pen on the lace and the lining, the dress was saved! No damage to the dress and no stain!

The product states it works on spaghetti sauce. However, within 12 hours of the stain occuring, I attempted to remove it and absolutely nothing happened. A waste of $6

I now have a "new" yellow stain on my white cotton blouse where the "old" tomato-based stain used to be. The bleach in the Tide stick reacted unfavourably with the fabric.

I purchased a Tide stain stick to try to get a watermelon juice stain out before it dried. Not only did it NOT remove the original spot but It also left a big yellow circle on my white shirt!

I needed something to clean my white shoes with and when I cleaned the with Tide to go my shoes became yellow

This is marketed to be a quick solution, yet here I am with a shirt that smells like literal garbage, and an even bigger stain now, with the fluid from the pen spreading it into a larger spot.

Tide to Go stick is exactly what you need in a pinch, my white clothes seem to always get a stain on them, whether I know what it's from or not I can count on getting the stain out of it ASAP.

The pen did not remove stain from shirt and caused permanent white discolouration, ruining my shirt. DO NOT RECOMMEND

Used as directed on chino shorts to remove chocolate syrup spots. Left discolored spots and stain remains.

Today, I was eating a Chicago dog with everything on it and "wham" I dropped green relish and yellow mustard in tandem down the front of my shirt. Five minutes later the stains were completely gone !!

Dropped some of my breakfast burrito on my shirt.. used tide pen, rubbed the strain for what felt like hours, the "pen" did not work in the slightest... felt like I was ripped off...

It seems to get any kind of stain out, and pretty reliably too.

Pen did not work. I've been using the pen for the last three hours, which is a coffee stain. The stain did not come out, instead, it made it look like it was running down my pants.

I am extremely unhappy with the Tide to Go stick - it didn't work. I still have the stain on my shirt, very visible, and for the rest of my day today. The product actually smells terrible too!

I have always sworn by Tide Pens and always have them in my bag, but today that all changed when I pulled it out to remove a stain from my designer top it put a hole in my top. I was livid!

it is really cool and i highly recomend but TIFFANY will not share the secret formula with me and im HIGH KEY OFFENDED but I love it so much!!!!

I keep a pen in the car and work being that I'm always staining my clothes when I'm on lunch.

I’m on a student budget& I had a few little stains to get out on my white shirt, so I thought I’d buy this $5 stick to get them out. Well it ran out after 3 uses & I wish I could get my money back.

I dropped a lot of coffee on my white shirt and bought a Tide to Go. It saved me; definitely works!

I just removed a red felt tip pen mark from my dress. Worked great! But like everyone else says, why does it smell this bad????

I bought it and have tried it on a few things like chocolate coffee juice and it hasn’t removed any of the stains

I am unsure why this pen smells horribly. I honest to god thought someone stuck my pen in feces or someones vomit!! Why on Earth does it smell so bad? I cannot stand it.

Tide pens are good, work as promised. My one Big problem is the foul odor they develop after four months. No warning about it on packaging I've seen. Can anything be done to correct the issue?

This pen has saved me a few times from lunch. When lunch jumps out and takes a chunk of professionalism from your attire you will be prepared with this handy pen.

There was a time I dropped a strawberry on a white cushioned chair at a bridal shower, another was when my friend stained her white bridal gown. Thank G-d for Tide to Go!

I dropped food on my blouse and jeans. The stain on my blouse is still the same, only difference is that it looks like a wet stain. My jeans, the stain looks like the stain spread.

Used tide to get a coffee stain out of my grey shoes and it turned the spots white. Completely ruined an almost brand new pair.

This stuff is AMAZING! Like, thai-iced-tea-out-of-white-pants-in-thirty-seconds amazing! It even got dark green pen out of my favorite light grey sweatshirt! No idea where I would be without this!

I got a small tomato sauce stain on my shirt and went to use the stick ASAP but it made it much worse. Now I smell like straight up chemicals and look like a mess.

i spilt some coffee on my white shirt and i used my tide to go stick and it made it worse now i have a huge yellow spot on my brand new white top. Please help!

Used as directed on light blue cotton expensive pants and it completely bleached them!? Package didn't warn about it fading the pants.NEVER would have used it had there been this warning. DO NOT BUY

Does not work at all. Tried on multiple different things and the stain is still there

Was eating a steak, got a drop of grease on my wool pants, dabbed spot with napkin, applied the tide pen less than 3 minutes after; pen was completely ineffective and may have made the spot worse!

I just opened a new pen and it was dry thus it was useless. Very disappointing. I believe that there is less liquid recently than when pens first came out.

Would you rather look dirty or smell dirty? The foul smell of this product by far exceeds its cleaning potential.

Used it immediately - effect was a splotch around original, unchanged grease (from hamburger).

Once again at work and got a stain from moving a computer on my slacks. This helps to down play the stain till you have time to wash\dry clean your slacks or shirt.

So I'm 22 and I bought a Legend of Zelda bed set. The cat had fun with a pen ALL OVER it. I grabbed my Tide pen; it removed ALL of the INK STAIN - it even cleared it out of the white parts! 10/10

I have a tide pen in my purse & desk. They work great; the smell however is unbelievably retched. I thought it was spoiled until I opened a second one only to smell the same.

This product is the opposite of what i needed! it was unable to destain my grape juice soaked tee shirt. This product is overall a waste of money and i do not recommend. Oxi Clean works much better!

While on a cruise I got a red drink on white slacks. I was given a "Tide to go" stick by another passenger. I was totally amazed that the stain disappeared!

I use the pen at work after lunch as I always spill something. It makes the stain virtually invisible in about 20 minutes and saves me from looking sloppy in meetings. Thanks!

I spilled coffee on my shirt I did just what the packaging said to clean the excess and then proceed to use the stain remover. It did not work whatsoever it just made my stain bigger!

I just used the stick to try and get blue ballpoint pen out of my ivory blouse. It made it worse. Thank goodness I'm wearing a cardigan

I got a small spot of juice on them. I put a small amount of tide pen on the spot. The spot has now been replaced by a larger faded area. I didn't read anything about not using the tide pen on jeans.

Is it true that they can go bad? I just used and it smells like throw-up. Why is this?

Your TideToGo pen ruined my new white shirt! I bought one of these pens to get out a couple of spaghetti sauce spots, and everywhere I rubbed the pen, turned the shirt yellow!! Shirt is ruined.

This pen left yellow everywhere I rubbed it to get a couple spots of spaghetti sauce on my brand new white shirt. Shirt's ruined.

All this did was give my expensive clothing stains that wont come out. DO NOT BUY

Used it on a colored shirt and it REMOVED THE COLOR. Nothing to warn me that this may happen, no way for me to know. Don't waste your money!!

Just rubbed the pen into a stain a little and the color came out of that spot in my shirt.

Today I had a small brown food stain on my light beige jacket and the Tide pen got rid of it completely with no ring in less than 30 seconds. Fantastic!

well, it did get the grease stain out but now I have an even larger bleached out area. I did not see any warning that it was bleaching....

I used this on a pair of coloured jeans and it ended up staining them this white cloudy colour....not happy.

The liquid in this pen left marks on my cotton/poly raincoat that are so much worse than the original stains I was trying to get out. One machine wash hasn't fixed it; I hope my coat isn't ruined.

I swear by this stuff. I never do reviews for products, but this REALLY WORKS! I always have one in my purse. Thank you Tide To Go!

Used it to get dirt off on one shirt and a food substance and both white shirts are now ruined. I am out $100 now because we have to get new shirts!

Used this product on a tiny chocolate stain. The product removed the chocolate but where the product wet the shirt it turned yellow. Still there despite laundering as soon as I noticed it.

Took a Tide-to-go stick on our tour of Italy. On the trip my white cardigan was sprayed with cola, I sat on chocolate & a waiter dripped grease on my jacket. The Tide stick took out every stain.

THIS STUPID PEN DOESNT WORK MY CLOSE STILL HAVE STUFF ON IT. I EVEN FOLLOWED THE DIRECTIONS AND IT STILL SUCKS. MAKE A BETTER QUALITY OUT OF THIS PEN ADD OXYCLEAN OR SOMETHING!!

THIS STUPID PEN DOESNT WORK MY CLOSE STILL HAVE STUFF ON IT. I EVEN FOLLOWED THE DIRECTIONS AND IT STILL SUCKS. MAKE A BETTER QUALITY OUT OF THIS PEN ADD OXYCLEAN OR SOMETHING!!

Received a gift of Tide to Go pen while in Mexico. Having trouble finding them in Pacific NW. Help!

This product is incredible. I have meeting today after lunch. A fry covered in ketchup tumbled down the front of my shirt. My tide to go pen and a microfiber cloth made it almost unnoticeable!

It works and we have not had incidents where it ruins the clothing. BUT it smells AWFUL. The smell is pungent especially if you're in meetings or around people.

I recently used this product on a pair of denim jeans and it heavily discolored the jeans. Attempted to give "1 Star" on all fields but the site forced me to give 1.5. Not cool :(

The Tide pen is a novel idea that works--a stain pen and blotter in one. However, the liquid smells like baby vomit. I would like for them to throw a little fragrance into the mix.

would not recommend this product to anyone, it stained my shorts even more than the stain that was previously on them

The tide to go pen works for color fabrics but when you use it on whites you're better off with the stain you had. It made the original stain fade but created a wet stain looking like a sweat stain

Left early in the morning for a special day, had to stop for coffee....coffee was spilled on white and black dress.....instead of returning home for a change, went to the nearest store to pick up a tide to go......the clerk just looked and said COFFEE..Oh no...to which I answered...Tide to go hasn't let me down yet...and I was right....my husband was completely surprised that the there was no evidence of coffee on the dress...Best product ever!

I just bought a Tide stick, but I've only had it for a week and it seems to already be empty (no solution is released when I press down!) I'm very disappointed with the duration of this product's use.

Wish it would come in a clear tube so I'd know when to get a new one! Great product! Introduced all my friends to it and they love it!

Used on my black pants, blotch parts all along it now, so it works

Dropped some bar-b-Q sauce on my white shirt, ran into the store and cleaned the stain while in the checkout line. Works as advertised and I'm forever grateful!

I bought a pack of 2 Tide to go mini and after using one of the sticks only once, it seemed there was nothing else in the tube. What a waste of money! I had used one of my mom's Tide sticks once and liked the convenience of it so I bought my own and was quite disappointed.

This product did not remove the food stain but removed the color of the fabric leaving ugly white spots on my skirt..

No problems until today my husband spilt on his work pants and I offered the tide stick. Unfortunately it bleached the grey fabric so there is now a white spot. great pair of nice dress pants ruined.

A waiter dumped a glass of red wine on my cream colored designer purse. I was convinced it was ruined. We went to the store to get a Tide to go pen and it saved my purse. It looks as good as new.

execellent idea for travel purpose and the stain comes right out

Ruined two of my best white dress shirts by leaving large yellow stains. Read the reviews, this happens to many. Tide's suggestions about soaking did no good.

Used it on my Tom's (Shoes) to wipe out a yellow mustard stain... the pen decided to take the colors with it :-D #SOS

It sounds like they fixed the smelly part since my pen was created, but it worked fine. Just read the directions on how to use it and what to use it for and you shouldn't have any problems.

I bought a tide pen the year before we moved to our current residence of five years this summer. I put a white dust ruffle on my husband.s bed yesterday to try to hide the obvious working parts of a hospital bed. He has very thin skin that tears easily. He opened a spot on his arm getting into bed and sure enough after tending his wound there on my beautiful new dust ruffle were three dark red drops. I used kleenex to blot them and went in search of the tide pen I had used a few times the first month I had it then it was mislaid when we moved. It turned up after a twenty minute search and the only part that still retained it,s colour was the cap and I could still make out the bold blue name Tide but anything like instructions that were printed in white were no longer legible. I decided I had nothing to lose and gave it a go. The little nib popped up and down with ease. I know I,m way long with this comment but I was truly amazed. After five years of being kicked around enough to wear off the label it worked and the blood was completely gone after sitting exposed to the air while I ransacked every drawer I could think of. My next trip to a store will have me getting three more of them for my purse, the car and one each for the pockets on his walker and wheelchair. I,m 66 and Tide was the only laundry soap my Mom ever used, she was very frugal and used it to wash our dishes too Her hands would never be used in a dish liquid commercial but our dishes squeaked after they were rinsed under the hot water tap. Good old tide made an appearance from under the kitchen sink every day of my childhood. .Thanks for the memories.

I bought a shirt, fitted and dry cleaned. Got home and noticed dime size yellow stain on the collar, Had wedding in 24 hrs. I ran to the store and bought this product. Worked wonders, Stain gone!!!!

Don't know what happens if this project sits for a while but something decomposes and stinks like garbage. used in on my shirt and people were asking what stunk. really bad smell. would not recommend.

I use Tide to Go frequently. It works very well. My problem is with the tube (stops a 5 star rating). The lid comes off frequently in my purse and it dries out. I wish the lid stayed on.

A greasy spill on a restaurant seat made a large stain on my back pant leg. I grabbed the pen & when I took the cap off, the pen tip dropped to the floor, so the pen was useless. Very disappointed.

I got a small coffee stain on my white patterned dress shirt. The size of the stain increased after using the product. This product effectively did the opposite of what it was supposed to do.

The TTG removed a sauce stain on my white polo...only problem is the liquid from the TTG added a brown-ish/yellow-ish ring on my shirt around where the old stain used to be...

Within 3 month after I bought this, pen was dried out when I went to use it even though it was sealed in package!

I dyed my friends hair black and blue when she stayed at my house.Anyways after it was finished i realized i got blue dye all over my favourite band shirt i was heart broken.So i went to walmart and bought a tide stick it took 2 or 3 trys and the dye was all gone.I did use the whole stick but i was really happy with the result.Amazing product would recommend to everyone.

I LOVE this little stain removing pen. This has saved me many times. I have always kept one in my purse. My only complaint is the design of the container; the lid keeps coming off and the liquid sometimes gets on other things and dries out. I now keep it in a snack baggy but I would love if the lid was a twist on :) "

Perfect for my husband when he was away from home and needed to keep his dressed blues squared away!

Horrible product and customer service. My Tide pen stained my shirt with a big red circle. Tide Customer Service would not reimburse me because they want the pen back. Why would I have kept a staining pen around my house? I threw out right after it stained my expensive shirt! I've read other reviews now about this problem. If only I had read them before. Hopefully my review saves someone else's shirt and they read this in time! I won't be buying any tide products from now on due to the customer service.

This Product is exactly what I needed! How can I buy it with lowest price and where.

This is the second time that I have given tide to go pens a chance. Both times it has destroyed my clothing, leaving white stains on my BRAND NEW pants! Very disappointed in this product.

heard so much about the product but I seemed to have a "defective" one....purchase 2 pkg mini ...one worked one didn't???...dried up? nothing coming out....I had emailed a couple of weeks ago...no reply? I included the UPC code at the time.

I recently bought myself a Vancouver Whitecaps jersey ! After a few rough and tough games with my son I developed a nasty black stain on the chest of the jersey from the ball . I tried many times to apply other detergents and even took the jersey into the dry-cleaner without any success. A friend suggested try the "tide pen" after applying the pen and using tide detergent the stain was removed !!!!! THANK YOU FOR BRINGING BACK THE WHITEOUT!

I wore a brand new paid of white linnen pants to work today. I spilled the juice from frozen blueberries all over my left leg from the knee down. I kept applying Tide to Go on the stain and within an hour, it was completely gone!!! Everyone in my office can't believe it. Thanks!!

I used the to go pen today and as soon as I removed the cap and started using it I could smell it... almost like parmesan cheese. The dress I was using it on had a tiny little stain on it that did seem to be coming out. I tried dabbing the dress with plain water to get the smell out but it didn't work. Even perfume didn't help. Finally threw it in the laundry and the pen in the garbage.

I use Tide to Go on a fairly regular basis. I find that If used as soon as I spill, it will remove stains quickly. However, I'm not a big fan of the smell. I find it smells like chemicals. Also, I agree that the cap should be a twist on, to prevent the cap from popping off in purses. Otherwise, very convenient!

Greatly dissapointed!!!!! Tried to clean food stain, mud stain, and ink stain. None of them was gone / erased from Tide to go. It is a waste of money, please do not buy this product unless the company tried to improve this Tide " to go"..........

I used a Tide to Go pen on my brand new white jeans. Now I have yellow stains in the two spots I used the Tide to Go pen. What can I do to get rid of the yellow stains? I'm really disappointed Tide did this to my white jeans and now I cannot wear them. I would have never expected these results from a Tide product and have always used Tide products for all laundry needs. I'll be reconsidering moving forward after this bad experience leaving me with ruined jeans.

I love this little stain removing stick. Has saved me many times. I have always kept one in my makeup bag. Unfortunately my only complaint is not in the product itself but in the design of the container; the lid keeps coming off and then the liquid sometimes gets on other things and dries out. I could keep it in a snack baggy but I think you should make the lid a twist on :)

I have had great success using this tide pen stain remover. I've used it for ink stains, shoe polish, juice stains and more.... Unfortunately, it does smell like puke...but the smell goes away after washing the clothes. It's better then perm stained ruined clothes... Keep it clean :)

Didn't work on pollen stains, didn't work on coffee stains, didn't work on juice stains. The stains were larger and only slightly less noticeable after using Tide to go. The only thing it removed was about $6.50 from my wallet. Hand soap and water works much better.

Loved this product until I used it last night on my favorite camel colored coat. I got red lipstick on the coat and although it was a small mark I figured the pen would remove the stain as it usually has with other clothing. Once I used it on the coat it seemed to remove it until I checked the following day and realized the HUGE white mark left on my coat. It is completely ruined :( I am trying to research on how to fix it but I am worried there's no hope. Someone please let me know if theres anything I can do to fix this? Thanks.

I bought a 3-pack of the Tide to Go pens thinking I could have one stashed in my home, work, and car. However, upon trying to use the pens I found that the caps do not come off easily. In fact, on two of them the cap was held on so tight that instead of coming off, the whole top of the pen came off in my hand and spilled detergent all over the place. What a waste of money!

I got some mascara on my white pants and Tidetogo did not get it out. I was disappointed, but do like the idea of having a stain remover in my purse

Used now a couple times and hasn't once worked to remove any fresh stain.

While shopping at a local food store, samples of salsa were given to customers. My sample just happened to drop on the front of my new, beautiful white blouse. Attendant gave me Tide to Go which took the stain out. But less than 1 hour, I had a terrible yellow stain on the front of my blouse. Came home, threw it in the washing machine with Tide Detergent and it would not come out (did not put it in the dryer or the stain would have set forever). However, fingers crossed, I just poured distilled white vinegar on the entire stain and have it soaking with detergent in hot water. Looks like this may have done the trick by removing the stain. I will leave it soak overnight and hopefully the stain is gone. Vinegar is a wonderful cleaning agent for many things. Yep, fingers crossed!

I used A Tide-to-go stick on a very tiny stain on my BRAND NEW blue pants that I bought yesterday. The stain came out but it dried and the color was completely stripped from the pants. I cannot believe brand new pants are ruined :( I don't have a lot of money and I never get new things. This is devestating to me. I hope Tide does something to change that, as it seems to be a common side-effect. I'm so sad.

I dropped a French fry covered in gravy and ketchup on myself at lunch today. It landed on my white capris in three spots. I immediately used tide-to-go and it didn't work. I am thoroughly disappointed.

I'm a loyal Tide user for laundry, and also carry Tide To Go in my suitcase pouch. Applied it to stain on designer dress after dinner on trip. Stain remained, but with the addition of a 3" oval discoloration that did not disappear. Dry cleaner at home said the Tide had permanently removed the color from the fabric. Incredibly, he was able to restore the appearance. Worth noting: other similar stains on the dress that were not treated with Tide To Go that night came out just fine in the dry cleaning. If I'd simply waited, I would have been spared vacation-blues from thinking I'd ruined a gorgeous dress by taking the advice of the advertising.

I had balsamic vinegar splash all over my brand new shirt. I applied the Tide to Go pen on the stains, and they vanished almost instantly. Thanks for saving my life. I have one product recommendation. Put this on a Key Chain. It would help men, who don't carry around a purse with them.

I have purchased Tide to Go before and had good results. I recently purchased the Tide to Go Mini for our vacation. I applied the the stain remover to my husband's shirt, as well as mine. The stains came off immediately, but the shirts were left with yellow stains which cannot be removed. I was so disappointed. My shirt was brand new and my husband's shirt was an older, but nice one. I threw mine away, but fortunately could still purchase a new one at a sale price. My husband now wears his to work on the farm. As for the offensive Tide to Go smell, this is only if it is an old stain remover. The new ones are fine.

This is my first unsolicited consumer review but I was inspired. Just today, I dropped a fresh raspberry on my pants @ work. I didn't notice until it had stained them beyond fixing with the dish detergent in our kitchen here. I had left my Tide-to-go pen (never used before !) @ home but someone suggested trying the small store in our building. They had it ! $$$ but well worth it... It truly saved one of my favorite pair of slacks: Orange (color of Tide container) cropped ones pants are basically irreplaceable ! Thanks, Tide-to-go !

I received a tide to go in my Influenster vowvoxbox and I have to say i was a little bit thinking that this product would not work but I was wrong I had a mustard stain on my fav shirt and it took it off with out leaving a heavy smell or damage my clothes. I say this product is a must

My elderly mother dripped catsup on her blouse and slacks on the way to a doctor's appointment. Stopped at nearby store to get her Tide to Go after seeing advertisement for the product so she would not have to return home to change. The catsup stain was VERY fresh. Removed the excess catsup and applied Tide to Go to stain. It did NOT remove the stain, merely smeared it/lightened it and created a ring on her clothing in both places. In fact, when the physician entered the room, she immediately asked, "What happened." We threw the product away -- it does not work as advertised!

I've used Tide to Go for quite a while with wonderful results. BUT, when I assisted an elderly neighbor and her dog from an attack by stray dogs last night, wasn't thinking about my favorite white jacket - which ended up covered in blood. As soon as I got home, treated the blood stains with Tide to Go, most of the blood came out. Poured Tide Laundry Detergent directly on the remaining stains and immediately laundered the jacket. It's cleaner than clean - I was amazed since it wasn't supposed to work well on blood. But it did - and I can't thank you enough!!!

The Tip on my Pen dried out and broke off with less than 1/3 of the product utilized.

I am highly disappointed in Tide-to-go. I got a small, simple stain on colored pants at work and thought my Tide-to-go would be the easy answer. That's exactly what it is for right? I used the product which completely discolored my pants, so the pants are left with a white splotch on the front and ruined. Now I am out the price of the pair of pants. :(

My son and daughter in law came to take me out for brunch on Mother's Day. I was wearing white pants and a pretty blouse and carried a cup of coffee, my first mistake! My son hit a pothole and my coffee splashed on my white pants. We were too far away to go home so I could change my clothes. My daughter in law, Shari, opened her purse and took out her Tide To Go and I got all the coffee stains out of my pants! I was so happy I went out and bought myself one the next day! And Mother's day was perfect!

I find the pen works well when I treat a stain quickly. I despise the smell of the product. I usually have to find time to change my shirt to avoid the stench.

I wore a white shirt to work, and, not thinking, leaned over my take out cup of coffee to grab something off the truck floor. Of course I got coffee smudged on the front of my shirt.I was not only already at work but getting ready to meet a very high end client for my boss, and needed to make a great impression. Thank goodness I have Tide To Go sticks, cleaned it up in just a minute and dried very quickly! Thanks SO much for a great product!

One day, while I was at work, wearing a white shirt. I spilled Coke all down the front of my shirt. I had to go to church right after work and did not have time to go home to change shirts. Fortunately, I carry a "Tide To Go" pen in my briefcase. I used the pen (and it was a big area) and every part of the area came clean!! Thank you Tide, GREAT product

I HAD SOME MAKEUP STAINS ON MY WHITE PANTS THIS MORNING AND I BOUGHT THE TIDE PEN, THINKING THAT IT WOULD WORK. WELL IT DID NOT, IN FACT IT MADE MY PANTS WORSE, FIRST DAY WEARING THEM AND I GOT THE PEN TO REMOVE THE SMALL STAIN AND IT LEFT A HUGE YELLOW RING. NEVER BUYING A TIDE PRODUCT AGAIN AND NEITHER WILL MY FAMILY,. I EVEN BOUGHT 2 ONE EXTRA AND I WILL BE RETURNING BOTH, TIDE I WILL NEVER BY ANYYYYYYY PRODUCT FROM YOU AGAIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!! VERY UNSATISFIED, AND PEOPLE DONT BELIEVE THE LIES

Good product, works for me most of the time, Recently I used it on a dress shirt, wuite a lot of the pen to get a stain out, and there is a faint line/residue left on the shirt after it dries, does anyone know if this residue will wash out if I put the shirt in the wash (with more tide products of course!)? Little reluctant to try it on more of my dress shirts until I see if the tide to go residue will come out in the wash...

First time using tide to go and I did not like it. It did not remove the stain plus it left an awful smell on my clothes.Just for my luck I decided to use it at work everyone I worked with could smell it.First and last time I buy this product. I was not satisfied I was dissapointed

Thank You Tide to Go! I am travelling on business, and was ironing in my hotel room last night. When I got to my favorite purple shirt, custom tailored I might add, I was greeted with two light blue blotches, dead center. I pulled out my Tide to Go stick, which I had not touched in at least 2 or 3 years. I hit the stains with a heavy dose, then rinsed the area, and hung to dry. This morning, I have perfect purple, no stains. Now I can buy a new Tide to Go stick instead of an expensive new shirt. Thank You!!!

Had coffee stain on slacks and tried to remove with pen and all it did was make an outline of the stain. Made it worse.

Purchased a Kenneth Cole winter white feather-down winter coat which was marked down due to a fairly large pink lipstick stain on the back. Tide to Go Instant Stain Remover worked wonders. Stain is now gone. Thank you for this great product. I now have a perfectly good new winter coat at a fraction of the price to keep me warm this winter.

Was shocked it worked on blue sharpie! Although pkg said may not work for ink I decided to try it anyway. It removed 90% of a blue sharpie stain on my sons new winter hat. I'm glad I tried it because it made a huge difference, not perfect, but much better with just a dot left instead of the whole smudge.

I used this product for the first time today in the hopes I could at least lighten a set in grease stain on the front of a newer sweatshirt. To my amazement, the stain is gone with one washing. I used Tide To Go instant stain remover, applied and rubbed in a little laundry detergent and then washed in hot water. So happy that I can now wear again, the sweatshirt I thought was going to get thrown in the "rag bag"! Thank you Tide:)!

I use it all the time especially on Mustard and Chipotle sauce stains. It works every time! Thanks

Got coffee stains out of a friend's pants. In Hawaii, every time I turned around, my granddaughter was saying, " Tide Pen, Grandma". No problem with smell from it, nor cap falling off.

I've used this several times, always making excuses. Oh, it must be an old pen, maybe its just the wrong fabric to use it on, etc. etc. Unlike other reviewers, I have not had issues with the cap falling off. I do have two issues with this product, that to me make it worthless. 1. It leaves the treated area slightly discolored (until you wash it, at least for washable fabrics), which is almost more noticeable than the stain itself. 2. It smells. Bad. Like really, really bad. My coworker used it and had to change. It's very strong and very unpleasant. It's distracting. I know it's not a fluke. I've purchased 4 pens in my life and they're all the same. I've heard the same from others. I'm surprised More reviewers did not comment on the stench. This is not something I would waste my money on. Very disappointing product from a company that continuously releases great products.

I SPILLED MY MUM'S SCRUMPTIOUS YORKSHIRE PUDDING GRAVY ON MY FAVOURITE TROUSERS TODAY. SUCH A SHAME. MY TRUSTED TATTOO ARTIST SUGGESTED TIDE TO GO. I GAVE IT A GO. THE STAIN PREVAILED. DO NOT BELIEVE THE LIES.

Ruined my pants :( replaced old stain with tide to go stain

I got a stain on my favorite blue silk dress when I was on vacation. Some sort of sauce stain. I was trying to remove stain by using Tide to Go. I shouldn't have done it!!! Now I have large yellow stain where I had used the Tide to go. I was crying, honestly. My favorite dress is ruined by your product!

On my wedding this past June, I had accidentally sat in coffee right before the wedding ceremony. It left a huge coffee stain on the back of my dress. In a panic, (and obviously, I was trying to stay calm as best I could), my bridesmaids brought out their Tide to GO sticks. After about 15 minutes...and with about 3 "Tide to Go" sticks, the stain COMPLETELY came out. It was amazing. Tide to GO seriously saved my white wedding dress and my wedding! It is an amazing product!

This little miracle is always with me. If any stain gets on my clothes I use Tide to Go and the stain is gone! Easy to use and so portable.

Use it on a spaghetti stain (which listed on the packaging as something this pen removes), and it didn't work a single bit. I got better results from rinsing the stain in hot water than using this pen. Do not buy!

After seeing a small (1/2 dime size) mustard stain on my white cotton dress shirt, I attempted to remove said stain by using Tide to Go. After wetting the spot and rubbing with the applicator tip as recommended, I was disappointed to see that not only was the stain still there, but it had grown, and was now surrounded by a much larger, discolored ring. The shirt (one of my favorites) is now essentially useless.

I was at my 40th high school class reunion. Some of us gathered early to have a drink. I was wearing white capris and ordered a Bloody Mary. Yup, I spilled it all over my white pants. I got out my Tide Stick and went to work. It used whatever was left in that stick, but it did the trick. I was not embarrassed the rest of the night. When I got home and washed them, they came out completely white! Thank you for an enjoyable evening.

Ruined my favourite pair of pants. Did not even remove the stain, simply removed the colouring of my pants then left the original stain. I arrived at work looking like I can't do my own laundry. Awful product, would not recommend it to anyone.

The Tide to Go Pen is a great product but I spend more on replacement having to buy another because of the cap that always comes off. , I have contacted TIDE and they have not changed this product defect.

Please do not use this. It turned my very small stain into a larger more noticeable stain. The stain was just a spot of dirt which would have easily came out in the wash but I thought I would try this. The stain it left DID NOT come out in the wash. Ruined a $100 dollar sweater, thanks Tide.

At the start of my day I was unpleasantly surprised with a bloody nose. Unfortunately, it stained my light colored pants. I am too far from home to go home and change and I surely did not want to be in public with the stain on the front of my pants. I keep the Tide to Go stick in my car. I went out to the car and soaked that area. It took more than usual, but it did work. I made it through the day without embarrassing myself or my boss, and there was not a stain on my pants after it dried or after I washed them! Thanks for a great product that makes such nasty events easier to handle, and saved my day.

Tide-to-go is great at lifting stains, however, if you get a tide-to-go pen like I did, you won't be satisfied. These pens tend to spoil over time and if you purchase one that spoils, it will cause your clothes to smell and smell strongly. The smell is unpleasant and can be compared to vomit or sour milk. Tide-to-go should be sold like milk, with an expiration date. I used to be an avid user of Tide products but now that I've experience what I've experienced, along with the money I've wasted, I can no longer trust Tide products!

I like Tide to go, but use it very rarely because it smells like kiddie puke. I read through some other posts here and found others that thought the same thing. The response by P&G about shelf life of a year doesn't really mean much. I've even had that smell come from a brand new one out of the package. It's so gross!

My wife and I use the stick successfully a lot. We frequently eat out alone and with groups of friends. Someone inevitably stains a shirt, blouse or pants. When we have the stick it works great. The problem with the stick is our collective memories. We often forget it altogether or leave in in the car. I thought it would be a good idea to be able to put one our key chains. The keys always make into the restaurant so we would always have for immediate use.

It removes most stains like red wine, but pasta sauce just leaves the stain a light orange. I just wish they would print the directions on the actual stick and have a screw on cap. The cap always comes off and the liquid comes out and is wasted. Plus the directions on the actual package would be helpful due to the fact that most of us discard the original packaging,

A waste of money. I tried it many times. Never cleaned my shirt when I spilled coffee on it! when shall this product work then

I used Tide to Go on one of my favorite shirts and ended up with a larger stain. Now I have a dark circle surrounded by a lighter circle on my shirt. What a waste of money, but more what a disappointment in a product.

Removed the dye on my jeans - would not use this product again.

I helped a mother get chocolate ice cream out of her daughter's dress. The mother was SO PLEASED!

I used this product to remove a small stain on a pair of light yellow Zara jeans. It did remove the stain, but it also removed the colour from my jeans. I am now left with a large white circle on me pants which are now ruined.

Good product, but I agree with the other reviewers - MAKE IT A SCEW CAP, please! The cap is constantly popping off in my brief case and the stain remover runs out. I now tape the cap shut so that it will stay on.

I've had a Tide stick in my bag and work desk drawer since they have come out. But I'm at my end with the caps and it sounds like I'm not alone. Add a small twist to the caps so they don't pop off! I want to buy more Tide sticks because I've used up the pen for its purpose, not because they've gone dry due to a lack of a cap.

I just transitioned to civilian life after serving 26 years in the US Army, switching from the uniform (camouflage) to business attire was a big change for me and I had failed to realize how easy it was to stain your shirt (once again camouflage covers all). The Tide Stain Stick has become a necessity in my desk to remove any and all spots, stains and embarrassing spills. Thanks for the clever invention.

So on the first day of starting a new job, I spilled tea on my shirt. This is a very common stain and one of the food stains this product is recommended for use on. I was so proud of myself for having my tide to go pen with me! Unfortunately, the tide pen failed to remove the tea, but even worse it bleached my shirt so now I have a tea stain surrounded by a light yellow ring on a bright yellow shirt. Needless to say, I felt like an idiot walking around like that on my first day, and my brand new shirt is ruined. Thanks for nothing, Tide.

I have used the Tide to Go pen in the past with success, and have appreciated having it in my suitcase. However, I have just purchased a white, cotton shirt which now has two yellow stains on the front where I used the Tide to Go pen. I was trying to remove two small red spots that splashed on the shirt from preparing raspberries. The fruit stains disappeared, but the yellow stains that resulted are obvious in sunlight. I've washed the shirt, and the yellow remains. I've called Tide, and the customer service agent recommended more Tide detergent directly on the stains over night, followed by rewashing. I'm trying this now. Hopeful, but very disappointed in the meantime.

The product use to work very well, but you must have changed the formula. Now it doesn't work very well at all. I will not waste my money on it in the future.
