Cough syrup stain removal

Cough syrup gets rid of coughs, but let Tide help you out by getting rid of cough syrup stains in a few easy steps.

    • Remove Excess:

      Brush off any excess from the garment before rinsing under running water. The higher the water pressure, the easier it will be to remove.
    Brush off any excess from the garment
    • Pour and Pre-treat:

      Pour Tide HE Turbo Clean Liquid directly onto the cough syrup stain. Make sure you completely cover it and let set for 5 minutes. Pour from either the bottle or the cap.
    Pour Tide Liquid directly onto the stain
    • Dose:

      You can also use the cap to ensure you use the right amount of detergent. Just fill it with the correct dose of detergent, and pour it into the detergent dispenser if you have an HE machine, or directly into the drum before loading the clothes if you have a non-HE machine.
    Dose the right amount of detergent
    • Load:

      Without rinsing off the detergent, place the garment into the washer with other items. Leaving the detergent on the stain will give your wash that extra boost of cleaning power.
    Load the garment into the washer
    • Wash:

      Wash on the usual cycle, on the hottest wash temperature indicated. Always check the instructions on the garment’s care label.

    • Unload:

      When the cycle is complete, unload the garments immediately.

If the stain persists after washing, repeat the previous steps before tossing in the dryer, as drying will set the stain.

Effective Stain Removal on a Variety of Stains

Liquids have the annoying habit of dripping and spilling everywhere, and the next thing you know, you've just dribbled cough syrup down your shirt. Luckily, Tide has you covered when it comes to stain removal, from cough syrup stains to other liquid stains like fruit juice, hot chocolate and coffee stains. 

Tide can help you with your cleaning, not only by making your whites whiter, but also by managing tough stain removal.
