The Bottom Line

If you know the feeling of getting dressed up to go out, only to drizzle alfredo sauce down the front of your shirt, you'll appreciate Tide To Go. Designed as an all-in-one stain removal system for fresh food and drink stains, it really cleans up. Use it on coffee dribbles, ketchup faux pas, and more. Without requiring water or an immediate trip to the washing machine, Tide To Go can get stains out and let you get on with your day.

Pros

  • Tide to Go is the size of a marker, making it easily stowed in purses or briefcases.
  • Tide To Go works easily and requires no water, or immediate washing.
  • Tide To Go really does a great job on fresh spills and stains.

Cons

  • Not for use on set in stains.

Description

  • Remove excess mess from the stain.
  • Press the tip of the Tide To Go pen onto the stain several times to release the stain remover.
  • Rub the tip of the Tide To Go pen across the stain to remove it.
  • Add more liquid when necessary.
  • If the area is going to be exposed to sunlight, wipe excess solution off of the stained area.

Guide Review - Tide To Go Instant Stain Remover

We have tons of stain removal solutions for when we are at home. We have pre-treaters, enzyme soaks, bleaches, and stain sticks, but what happens when we're away from home. If you're clumsy like me, you can walk around with dribbles all over your shirt. Tide To Go is determined to rescue us from our mishaps.

The Tide To Go pen is easily concealed in a purse or briefcase and easy to use. My children made sure I had ample test-worthy spots to try and remove. We experimented with ketchup, mustard, juice, jelly, syrup, cheese sauce, chili, chocolate milk, and jello. Tide To Go made a huge difference, so much so that the kids now ask for my "magic pen" when an unplanned stain happens.

Tide To Go cemented its importance for me when the corner of my white shirt was dipped in fruit punch just as my family was leaving for church. I was able to remove the stain at a long red light on the drive and still arrive on time. Tide To Go is perfect for busy people on the run, who like to look as clean as they did when they first stepped out of their door.

Tide to go is available in single packs, 3-packs, and 5 packs, and has a suggested price of $2.99, $6.99, and $8.99 respectively.

I love the product, but i never get to use it. The cap comes off and it dries up in my purse. The idea is good - to have a spot remover available in a restaurant, or picnic site, but you need to review the Cap problem. I will recommend this product to others, but with reservations about the Cap.
