Most Helpful Favorable Review

While playing with my pen (and teasing my girlfriend) on a two-hour train ride to Wisconsin, I ended up leaving a large blue line on her jeans. Not the best way to start a romantic out-of-town excursion -- imagine that sitting and brewing in her head the whole time as we walk around and see sights......

Most Helpful Critical Review

When Tide first came out with the To Go Instant Stain Remover, I thought, "Yes! Finally something that I could stick in my purse and bring to work or wherever." I figured if it comes from somewhere as reputable such as Tide, then it must work really good. I can sometimes have little stain mishaps when...

Very convenient.

I bought this pen a while back because I had a coupon for it and it seemed like it would come in handy. It did, it really did. My husband and I were going to a party and we stopped to get a snack before we go to the party. Well, he gets his snack all over him and it was very obvious. Luckily, we had the pen and it took the stains right out.

This works every time!

So glad to have discovered this product.  I carry it in the car, and use it whenever the kids inevitably spill something on their clothes.   Seems to work on every material, so far.

Good One

This stain pen is the best stain remover I've ever seen. To date I've removed:
* Coffee
* Blood
* Coke
* Tomato Sauce
* Tobasco Sauce
* Chinese Brown Sauce
* Ink
* Grease

I've found that this pen works better if the stain sits for a few minutes until dry before using. I know that sounds goofy, who wants to let the stain sit?? However, in this case, it's better and the pen works great. I have one at work, one at home and one in my purse for 'emergencies'.

When this product first came out I was skeptical about how it would really remove stains but it really does what it says....even spaghetti sauce and BBQ sauce will come out.  Works best on fresh stains.  I keep one in my purse and in all our cars.

I love using the Tide Pen to touch up little stains that happen in daily life.  I kept one in my purse, just in case I have a stain on my shirt.  Being on a budget means I want to keep my clothes in my wardrobe, instead of having to toss a favorite shirt or pants. Great invention Tide.

It really works!

This product actually works! 

 

I keep it in my purse and has come in handy so many times especially with a 4 year old!  It takes the stain out when we are out and about and allows me to save some clothing that might have been ruined by not being able to treat it right away

This is great if you are a little messy when you're eating like I am!

Keep in your Purse

This is awesome for those messy meals, or messy kids.  Works great to stop a stain until you can get home and wash it.

smells foul

I thought the Tide Pen was the greatest thing ever when it first came out.  Get a stain on your shirt and this thing rubs it away.  Does this thing work as advertised?  Absolutely!  It's easy to carry around and always have with you when you need it.  Throw it in the glove box and you don't even have to carry it.  So why is this not a 5-star review?  Because it starts to smell after a while.  I don't dirty myself too often, so a pen will last me 3-6 months.  After about 4 months, the pen start to smell like rotten eggs.  I suppose the contents have an expiration date.  So, when I have...

Goes where ever I go.

It is a really good product. It takes out almost any stain. It is inexpensive and is small and portable.
