Guide Review - Tide To Go Instant Stain Remover

We have tons of stain removal solutions for when we are at home. We have pretreaters, 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 resuce 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 testworthy 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.
