I liek the tide to go. Until recently it got everything out. I did however use ti this summer when I was outside- oops. The spot of food came out but I was left with a big yellow mark. Apparently you aren't supposed to use it and be in direct sunlight. IThe stain really didn't come out either except for some bleach (ack!)
So be forewarned!

This is an absolute essential item.... don't leave home without it.

I love this product. I am notorious for getting stains on my clothes and this little guy has saved me countless times. The other ladies are right though, the cap does fall off all the time (aha I actually laughed when I saw other people had written that). Also, I agree with artist, I think it works best on cotton, and it does leave a white mark after using it on some stains. However in their defence, the package does say not to use it on blood, ink or grease (and my white stain was left after I used in on a drip of butter on my pants so I guess this is true.) Overall, I think I will always have this in my purse cause its a total life saver for me.

I love the TIDE stain remover pen because it has saved my clothes on numerous occasions. It has removed coffee, ketchup, gravy, and even blueberry stains from a white hoodie. If it's a tough stain it does take a bit of time and may require regular washing afterwards, but it can save clothes that would otherwise be ruined. It works best if you use it right away, but I tried it on stains that were a couple of hours old and it still worked. I always keep one in my purse!

I love Tide to Go, it's been a life save as well but you girls are right, the cap keeps falling off and I was glad to see that it wasn't only me who had that problem with it.

Tide-to-Go Instant Stain Remover does work but as some of the other raters have pointed out, it does leave a bit of a mark if you don't saturate the stain with water along side with this product. If you are really worried about a stain setting, this product is great for alleviating that worry however, it's not like the commercial (obviously) where one minute the stain is there and the next minute it is gone.

Tide-to-Go has saved my clothes so many times! It works well most of the time. You have to use a lot of it. The only thing that I want to warn everyone against is that it has the tendency to leave a little while mark around the stain. Not cool! I found that on my Lulu pants it left that. I find that it works best on cotton.

Another thing is that I found that the cap fell off many times, and eventually it just dried out! I'm not sure if I would buy this again, but it does get the stain out pretty well.

it's great! best one i've used so far. it even removes stain on colored clothing.

I've tried this several times. I find that it can be hit or miss. The trick is to make sure you press really hard to apply a lot of it. Sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't but it's really handy to keep in your purse and it's definitely better than not doing anything at all or waiting until you get home to work on a stain!
