What Customers Are Saying
The product is an effective and convenient stain remover that works well on common stains like coffee, food, and ink. It is praised for its portability and ability to quickly lift stains before they set in. However, it may not work as well on tougher stains or certain fabrics, and can sometimes leave discoloration or a wet mark. The main drawback is the cap, which many find doesn't stay on securely, causing the product to dry out. Overall, it is considered a valuable tool for keeping clothes looking fresh.
Customer review summary generated by AI, including incentivized reviews.. Best stain remover ever
Would RecommendI don’t understand some of these bad reviews.. This product has removed every stain I ever tried. Often I had already tried another product that failed. I have never had it leave any kind of bleach mark. If an article of clothing is special, isn’t it a given to try the stain remover on an inconspicuous spot before trying it on the stain? Anyway, I would highly recommend this product! Most times I don’t even need to rub.

Helpful item in my purse
This is my most favorite item in my purse, because it saves me from embarrassment. Unfortunately things happen when you spill something on your clothes while you are out and none of us is carrying a change of clothes for emergency. This stain remover pen is my helper in those situations. I can remove any stain effortlessly.

Tide To Go Ruined My Colored Shirt
Would Not RecommendI had a brand new shirt light green shirt I used tide to go on and it left a bleached white mark on the shirt. Do not use on a colored shirt no even though it says it works on them it does not.

It’s disgusting
Would RecommendI spilled coffee on my white sweatpants before school and I used a tide pen to get it out and it worked really well and the stain was gone but it smelled nauseating. It smelled like rotten eggs and cheddar cheese and throw up, it was horrible and it smelled like it all day and I was bullied for smelling so bad and filling the classrooms with such a pungent sent. It was a horrible experience and I never wanna relive it again. This product does work well but it smells horrible.

Left a bleached out spot on shirt
Would Not RecommendSo upsetting. We used the Tide stick to remove a small stain from a sweatshirt that we purchased in Amsterdam, so not something replaceable, unfortunately. It left a white bleached out area on the shirt. I wish I could attach a photo to this review to show the significant discoloration.

Unexpected Stain Removed
Would RecommendI am representing a character from the 1860s at an all day community event. While juggling my belongings and a coffee cup, I accidentally collided with something, causing some coffee to splatter onto my white apron. I was mortified! Then it hit me that I had my 'Tide to Go' pen in my bag, so I quickly used it on the coffee stains. I was relieved to see that it worked well enough for me to wear the apron and carry on with the event without feeling embarrassed.

Does wonders
Would RecommendAs a frequent tomato enjoyer, who doesn't have teeth, I could not be more pleased with this product. Every time I enjoy a food that has tomato in it, (eg, pizza, spaghetti, tomato soup, tomato slices even!), I know that I have a little tiny, beautiful friend in my pocket who can get rid of any kind of stain imaginable. Ladies, you know what I mean! Now who's with me?! Go get you a TIDE PEN. (not a sponsored review by the way. even though I am rich and famous)

Regret Using Tide To Go Instant Stain Remover!
Would Not Recommend[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I used a Tide To Go Instant Stain Remover on food stains on two (2) nice shirts. The result was a bleaching and yellow spot effect. I guess the stain is gone but the shirts are in worse shape. I wish I had never bought . tried / used the Tide To Go Instant Stain Remover. I paid to ruin two (2) shirts - brilliant!! Love that - NOT!!!! A recurrent theme if you read these reviews. Caveat Emptor!!!!
