How to Remove Pet Stains
A cuddle from your favorite furry friend is precious, but grubby paws can leave unwelcome stains on your clothes.
Let Tide help get rid of pet stains, so you can get back to playtime with your pet.
Remove Excess
Rinse in water to dilute the stain.

Pour and Pre-treat
Pour Tide HE Turbo Clean Liquid directly onto the pet stain. Make sure you completely cover it and let set for 5 minutes. Pour from either the bottle or the cap.

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.

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.

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.
