Tide to Go Instant Stain Remover

It smells SO bad like cheese/vomit. The smell is so overpowering.. it can't even be covered up with soap or perfume or anything. It also doesn't get the stain out. If anything, I think it looks worse after using.

I like using Tide detergent and pods, but this pen is horrific. I used it on a 1-inch spot on my comforter and later woke up to the most nauseating smell imaginable. The source was definitely the treated spot, because I then smelled the Tide Pen and almost vomited. I can't accurately describe how terrible it smelled, but I can say that even after a full day at work the stench permeated my nostrils and mind. I would only buy this again as a prank gift.

So cute and small I’ve repurchased this about 10 times. I love it and it’s saved me too many times to count. I love how it actually does what it’s supposed to and isn’t some scam. It smells amazing and isn’t to strong. It’s so convenient just put it in your bag and get out the house. 

I 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.

***DO NOT USE****** I used the Tide Pen as directed and it left a bleach out spot on my jacket!!!! It is ruined and there is nothing I can do about it. I am SO extremely disappointed!!! I will never use this again and have shared my story as often as possible.

this product is not safe for color clothing, at all. i have an $80 tunic that i just recently purchased as an investment piece and used it on a stain. created a bleached area. very upset to be out that amount of money.

I 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.

I 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.

So 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.

Tide To Go are the most convenient stain remover around and are for stain emergencies. Stains are zapped in a matter of seconds. On the go and travel able.

This tide instant stain remover does the job in a pinch. Took it on vacation and it did the trick in a bind. It is great for emergencies. I highly recommend.

I 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.

Perfect for on the go and easy to use. I leave it one in all my purses. Helps remove even the toughest of stains on white outfits. I’m always spilling things on my shirts and dresses and it’s great to have in a pinch.

As 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)

Being on the road traveling I'm always spilling coffee food etc. I keep this stain stick pen in my purse always! My stain disappears instantly. No water is required. I love it and I'll never be without it.

Is a convenient and effective solution for quick stain emergencies. The compact pen design makes it easy to carry in a purse or bad, and its perfect for perfect for treating small stains. Works well on coffee, wine or sauce stains. Starts breaking them down within minutes. May not fully remove old or tougher stains. Has the fresh tide smell.

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!!!!

I used the tide to go pen on two outfits, and both of them are now ruined. The tide to go left a yellow stain that I cannot wash out. Be really careful using this product.

I had a couple minor stains go on to my shirt and pants then I applied the product exactly as described. It did not remove the two spots on my pants and shirt but rather left a bleach mark around the spots with the spots slightly faded. Thought I did something wrong, so when I had another mishap it did the same thing to those items of clothing too. Do not use this product at all it, it makes things far worse. Hundreds of dollars worth of clothing gone now.

Magic stain remover!!! I always bring one with me, the best is apply it as soon as you can! I like the size but the should do the same one in a bigger container keep it at home. In the other hand the only con is The scent , smells horrible!!!! Beside that it’s really good with the stains

Tide to go instant stain remover is amazing. Works great. Quick and easy to remove stains. I also use Tide OxyClean laundry detergent. Tide is a great brand. Been using Tide for years. I would recommend.

Between myself and my child, somebody is always making a mess. I keep a Tide to Go pen in my bag at all times to avoid stains. All you do is shake it, push the tip down and move across the spot a few times. I've never had a problem with it not removing something. It's a great help until I can get home to do laundry!

Thus pen tackles a variety of stains—coffee, tea, ketchup, mustard, and more. The precision tip allows for targeted application, making it easy to treat spots on different fabrics like cotton, polyester, and even silk. Its portability is a standout feature. Small and lightweight, it fits easily into any purse, backpack, or pocket, ensuring I’m always prepared for spills. The secure cap prevents leaks and drying out. Simply press the tip onto the stain, apply pressure, and rub gently to release the cleaning solution. No water or rinsing needed, and it dries quickly. The Tide To Go Stain Remover doesn’t just lighten stains—it removes them completely in most cases! I always keep one with me on the go!

Wondering if the formula has changed? Ruined THREE pairs of white pants this summer after using Tide to Go pen on rather small “normal” stains, e.g, a tomato slice fell out of my sandwich and bounced off my leg. The Tide to Go pen left an ENORMOUS YELLOW STAIN on each of these pants: made of cotton, linen, and cotton/spandex.. Neither a white vinegar soak nor a hydrogen peroxide diluted solution plus three re-washes have made the stains budge. More than $600 in clothing apparently ruined. Never happened with tgis product before this summer: I have been taking Tide to Go pens when I travel, I carry them in my purse. I have been using and recommending these things regularly for many years, approximately 17-18 years, since they came out. On white. Never. Happened. Before.

I thought the product would be able to remove a small pink stain from an ink pen. It ended up making it worse and made the splotch bigger. The tide in the pen itself also left a residue mark. And it smells horrible. I would not recommend AT ALL

I usually keep one of these in my purse. It’s so convenient for stains on the go. I have a family of small children and big. So spills and messes happen more often than I’d like. This Tide to Go pen saves so many of their clothing pieces. It’s easy to use and the scent is nice. I love that a little goes a long way. It’s so effective and can be used on almost any fabric.

I take this every where with me. It dosent have a scent snd it lasts a long time. It gets stains out fast and easy. And there's alot in the pen for like $8

Here is some before and after shots of a stain on a white tee shirt. It works pretty well except a little fade in the color. Perfect for in u spill drinks on you while out in public I carry one in my bag for stain emergencies. Smells like normal soap. And overall a great product

The Tide To Go Stick is a must-have for anyone prone to spills or stains on their clothing. This compact stain remover pen has saved me countless times from embarrassing mishaps. Its small size makes it convenient to carry in a purse or pocket, ensuring you're always prepared. The effectiveness of the Tide To Go Stick is impressive. It tackles a wide range of stains including coffee, sauces, and even makeup with ease. The application is straightforward: simply press the tip onto the stain and gently rub. Within seconds, the stain begins to disappear without damaging the fabric. What I particularly appreciate is its quick drying formula, which allows you to treat a stain discreetly and continue with your day without waiting for the fabric to dry. It's suitable for a variety of fabrics, though I recommend testing it on a small area first, especially delicate materials. The Tide To Go Stick has become an essential part of my daily essentials, providing peace of mind knowing I can swiftly handle any unexpected spills. While it may seem a bit pricey for its size, its effectiveness and convenience definitely justify the cost. Overall, I highly recommend the Tide To Go Stick for its reliability and ease of use in keeping clothes looking their best.

I spilled a drink on my sweatshirt and I didn’t want it to stain so I bought a tide stick. After washing it the sweatshirt is completely ruined. It is grey but now has yellow stains all over. It looks awful. Will never buy or recommend to anyone.

This Tide To Go pen is something I highly recommend that everyone should have. I carry it in my purse and trust me it does come in handy. It really does remove stains especially if it just happened.

Don’t waste your time or money on the tide pen! Stained my WHITE sweater even worse and left it a bright yellow color. I don’t believe there is no bleach in the pen! IM NEVER BUYING AGAIN. So disappointed in this product.

I always carry a tide stick in my purse and it is used practically daily. Whether it’s me or a friend, I am always taking the tide stick out to help stain treat. It’s cheap and a must have!

I used this to remove a coffee spot from a white blouse. It worked well on the stain, but I am glad I was at home because the smell was so awful. I had to rinse the spot with water and pat dry with a paper towel.. The smell lingered so I then used a rose scented micellar face wipe to further cover terrible smell, which worked. I used these before in the past and I don’t remember such a strong and objectionable smell. I wish that was not the case because otherwise they work great.

The product works with the most horrific smell imaginable. Mix feet/toe jam, vomit, sneeze, and expired cheese all together! Will no longer be buying this product because TIDE has done nothing about this and knows about the issue. If this bad smelling product was just a one time use before the smell takes over, than make way smaller pens and charge less. How long has the pen been out, don't blow smoke saying we didn't know! Will try OXI pens hopefully they don't stink this bad after first use of the product?!?!

This pen totally ruined my brand new white shirt. I had a small sauce mark on my shirt, I used the tide pen to “remove” it but NOW I have 2 huge yellow stains that will not wash out. Totally ruined my new shirt!!!

This tide to go is so convient, find a stain & press the tide to go stick unt the stain press down & just the right amount of stain remover is released into our fabric.

I was amazed at how quickly and effectively the Tide to Go pen removed stains from my clothes. Whether it was coffee, food, or even ink stains, this little pen tackled them all with ease. The stain remover worked like magic, lifting the stains right before my eyes without damaging the fabric. I was particularly impressed by how well it worked on tough stains like red wine, which I had struggled to remove in the past.

Tide to Go Instant Stain Remover is a lifesaver for tackling stains on the fly. It's compact, easy to use, and effective at removing various types of stains. While it might not work on every single stain, it's definitely worth having in your bag or car for those unexpected spills or marks. Plus, its convenience factor makes it a must-have for busy individuals who are always on the move. Overall, it's a reliable product that delivers on its promise to help keep your clothes looking clean and fresh.

The tide muti pack saves you money as well as spot cleans any accidental messes while you are on the go. It is small enough to fit inside the smallest of purses and spot cleans stains very well. It's a must have.

Left huge yellow stain on hoodie for a small coffee stain. Tried calling Tide and they did not help with removal advice or answer any of my questions and just directed me to call the manufacturer (which apparently has changed). The number doesn’t work and is essentially just a voicemail line - you don’t get to speak to a real person. These should be banned.

I use this on almost any stain I have. It’s super easy to take on the go so you don’t have to wait to get home to remove the stain. I actually have had that little pink stain on my shirt for awhile and the tide pen got it out. It also got out the brown stain very easily. The scent isn’t overwhelming and smells a bit fruity almost. It also doesn’t leave any stain once it dries, it’s just wet in the photo

It seems like it only blurs the stains. And sometimes I feel like it needs to be used with water. Other times it works when the stain is seconds fresh but of course, it only made the red stain yellow. And it dries out very quickly when I hardly used it. It's like once I purchase it to keep in my bag, I'll only ever be able to use it 1-3 times and then the pen just dries out.

Do not advise using on colored clothing. Removed stain but now ca not wear my favorite t shirt due to bleach mark left after using tide pen

Used on a small stain on a white denim jacket. Turned my jacket YELLOW. Washed and it still has a big yellow stain on it. (Even bigger than the small stain I had prior) ruined my jacket. DO NOT USE. I WILL NEVER USE THIS AGAIN.

I checked to see if this contained bleach, it allegedly does NOT. However, it ruined my brand new Nike hoodie I just paid $100 for. Whatever is in this thing destroys colors. Not happy!

I love the tide pen! I always have one on me. It’s helped me in so many situations! It works really well to get small stains out, I’m always amazed at the power of it.

I recently picked up a tide to go pen to keep handy for those coffee stains or accidental food that falls on light or white shirts for the office. Today was the day...I thought I had a rescue to the food that accidently fell on my shirt during lunch. This pen was supposed to clear my shirt for my meeting in the afternoon. I looked down shortly after treatment and was shocked to find two yellow stained circles. HUGE disappointment! I would have been better off leaving the stain alone untreated until I got home. I can't say I'd recommend this product to anyone, unless you like having stained circles on your nice clothes too.

I saw this pen all over TikTok so i decided to go buy one at my local five below my boyfriend got a stain on his shirt at a party so I ran to grab my pen I used it on his shirt and the spot started to turn white I immediately washed the shirt and now the spot where the stain was is bleached I’m not happy

Excellent thing that helps with all stains, perfectly copes and quickly with its task. Small volume, which is convenient to take with you. Easy to use, apply to the stain, enough for a long time. The price is not high .

Tide pens are a staple in our home! They’ve removed stains from spaghetti sauce, hot chocolate, and more from our white table cloth. I’ve removed pen from clothing. One pen lasts a long time and is easy to use. Tide pens are great for cleaning up quick messes when you don’t have time to run a load of laundry.

I don’t know what they put into this but it works wonders! Even on white clothes. I love the portability and ease of use, there really is nothing else like it. It is a little stinky but the smell doesn’t linger, and the benefits outweigh the stink!

Okay, ladies, this is a product that every single woman needs to have in their laundry room! Whether you're a mama like me or just have stains that need a little help, this is what you need! All my kiddos, berry messes, formula spit ups, grass stains, juice, spaghetti sauce, or just dirt and grime from playing outside, this literally works on absolutely everything!!! Just pick it up and have it on hand. Trust me you'll thank me for it! It's literally a little magic want that makes stains disappear! You use it like a pen and go over whatever it is that needs a little extra TLC! I now literally keep them in my car, laundry room, kitchen draws everywhere!

I used this product on light colored kacky children’s pants, and all the spots bleached out!!! I don’t know what to do now!!! Any suggestions??? Ty! I have always used tide for laundry and love it…

Bought this hoping for the best and to my surprise it worked awesome for what I needed, usually a lot of things don’t seem to work as well as they say but this actually works

The pen is compact and easy to carry around, making it perfect for on-the-go stain emergencies. The design is sleek and the cap securely snaps on, ensuring that the pen won't leak in my bag. I also appreciate that it doesn't have a strong chemical scent like other stain removers. But what really sets this pen apart is its ability to remove tough stains instantly. I've used it on everything from coffee spills to makeup stains and it has worked like magic every time. The pen has a soft scrubber tip that helps to work the solution into the fabric, making it even more effective. One of the best things about this pen is that it doesn't require any water or additional cleaning products. I simply apply the solution and let it dry, and the stain is completely gone. This saves me time and hassle, especially when I'm out and about. Another great feature of this pen is that it is safe to use on most fabrics, including delicate ones like silk and wool. I've never had any issues with discoloration or damage to my clothes, which is a huge plus.

I keep a tide to go stick in my bathroom, in my car, and In my purse at all times. Tide to go sticks are conveniently sized for travel and storage, however they contain enough product to last what seems like a lifetime. Tide to go sticks are extremely effective, even on stains like black coffee on a white teeshirt.

I used the tide pen on several spots on my couch and it left dark spots where the spots were and didn't even remove the stains. I am very unhappy with this product.

This pen comes in handy as a mom of two! I am always on the go with the kiddos and there’s times where i am eating in the vechicle anytime I have an accident it being spilling ketchup or juice this pen removes the stain without a problem.

This nifty little pen comes everywhere with me! With just a press of the tip on a stain, I am able to remove small, inconvenient stains in a matter of seconds. The pen doesn’t contain bleach, which is perfect for removing stains from delicate and colored materials. I’ve even used this on cloth handbags and it works wonderfully! So convenient and reliable!

I love the tide pen. It comes in so handy whenever a little splash of food hits your top, or your pants. The only thing is you do have to use it quite literally.

Having a pen in my purse has been a life saver! It’s easy on the go, and is small enough I can throw it in a purse, the car, or the laundry room basket. It does a great job at getting out stain right in the moment, instead of waiting until I get home

Let me tell you, I’m messy. I can’t go a day with spilling something on myself, on the table or on the floor. And when these spills happen, Tide To Go is my saving grace. Gets majority of stains out with leaving unwanted marks on my clothes. Plus, at pen size it’s perfect to store on the car, in a purse, in a gym bag or in your desk (or have one at each place). Definitely recommend these.

Perfect on the go stain remover, fits so easily in your purse, removes stains in 10 minutes or less. Can use it on multiple types of clothing. Scent is neutral and isn’t fruity

I always have a Tide to Go in my purse. It’s great for those unexpected spills, stains, etc. that you won’t be able to take care of while out and about.

I’ve never had any issues with this product but recently I decided to use it on my new white shirt, to remove a coffee stain. It removed the coffee stain but then left me with a bigger yellow stain. Very disappointed. I applied water on the stain to see if it helped but nothing. Seems counterproductive that I use a product to remove a stain and I’m left with a bigger one.

The Tide to-go pen has helped me remove spots on my clothing in various pinches. I have used it for when I had makeup on my shirt before an interview. I have used it when I had something on a new shirt that I didn't know where the spot came from. I have used it on handbag cloth interior spots. I recommend carrying one!

Used it on a T-shirt with recent spaghetti stains and the stains didn’t come off and looked more vibrant on the shirt. I also used it on multiple spots on a brand new jacket cause I wanted to keep it nice since it was so new, and it’s now ruined with orange bleach like spots all over it. Ruined my clothes

This is perfect for on the go. I had a stain and I used it and it went away! It’s convenient and portable. It’s easy to carry anywhere with its small size. It’s a good solution to handle small stains while you’re out.

I used this product on my jeans and it visibly discolored them. Now my favorite pair of jeans that I’ve had for years are ruined. Do not use this product on blue jeans.

It is an ongoing joke with our friends because my husband always has a tide pen. He will pull one out of his pocket anywhere. As the person that does his laundry I appreciate it because the sooner you treat a stain the better. These work great and are easy to treat a spot. They are great for those hard to get out stains too.

Easy to throw in your bag and have on the go with unexpected stained. It’s a must have for me to take to work so fix any stains from my lunch with it being quick drying and effective. There is no overpowering scent that lasts on my clothes.

I leave these around everywhere!! They’re such a life saver for stain pre-treatments. I swear by them, they get out 95% of stains and 100% if you treat them immediately. They’ve even saved red sauce on white shirts for me. Obsessed with this product

These are my go to when there are random stains! It gets most out - as long as you catch them early enough. I also appreciate that it fits in my purse, and doesn’t have any sort of off putting smell.

Tried this on a crazy panic whim when I got red hair dye all over my new desk. Pressed this on, left for a minute and scrubbed off and the dye was GONE! Nothing has ever worked for this before so I am in total shock

Great for on the go! Best to use on fresh stains to ensure that it is best removed and actually worked. If you are prone to stains from food, this comes in handy a lot!

Small and compact. Perfect for an emergency wedding kit. Got this for my wedding and it came in handy. It’ll take basic stains out. Nothing crazy like red wine though.

I’ve always loved these but my tide pen has a plastic tip and it picked my husband’s new UA shorts. I’m so disappointed and will not purchase more with this plastic tip!

I recently discovered this after years and I  loooove this! Is 100% effective and is super useful because you can take it with you everywhere. If you are clumsy like me this would be your new best friend!

I have been using this product since middle school and I am now in my first year of college. When I say buy this product you need to. This removes stains perfectly and in a matter of seconds :))!!

Like the title says, will create another bigger stain with a dark outline. Do not use.

I bought the Tide To Go in a 7/11 store at first I was excited since it was new to the market though after opening I was really disappointed to smell the scent. It smells like poop for real. 👎🏻👎🏻👎🏻

These are so perfect to through in your purse or car! Never fails, I always get something on me and they are just perfect for a which spot clean!!!!

Amazing pen for dirty clothes, for me it’s the best to have in my purse for go out or travel, it’s amazing with white shirts, with kids we needed a lot

Used this to remove small makeup stain from a white cotton dress. The tide stick ended up leaving a much larger and more obvious yellow stain on the dress. It is now unwearable.

Ignore in the photo that some of the label got removed not sure what happened. It’s an alright stain remover…it doesn’t always remove a stain but it does something… i used it for my school emergency kit and it was okay

It works amazing. It's perfect for on the go or quick and easy stains. I personally like to keep mine in my bag just in case. When I do get a stain, the tide to go pen makes it really easy. All I have to do is push and scrub with the applicator.

I know it sounds dramatic. But these pens are lifesavers! As a mother I am constantly getting stains lol and I do not want to walk around with stains on me. These work so well! I always keep one in my purse. I even use them on the kids, because you know they always make a mess.

The pen is a very good and useful idea yes, but my personal problem with it is that afterwards you have a huge wet spot on your clothes. It’s not very practical for bright clothing. For black clothes it’s alright but I just don’t like that it leaves a wet spot after I use it. Other than that it’s not bad at all.

i used it on my white converse to get out a stain and the tide pen stained my converse yellow… i owned the converse less than a day. i’ve tried every method possible to get the tide pen stain out but it looks like the stain is permenant. it for the other stain out but caused a new stain lol… very sad.

Tide brand is trusted to my family and stain remover is one in my purse to go to town, personally I do use it on my kids close or special events party’s you never know when that unwanted drop would ruin your garment, cleans sharp and dries fast, I love that it’s in such compact container that you can sneak and place it in your small purse, highly recommend to all who likes to treat dirty spot right away! It works!

It is super easy to carry around and it is a necessity to have. Stains always happen and it’s best to have these to carry around because they are always helpful for you and everyone around.

I bought this pen and put a small amount on my shirt's stain for two hours and put the shirt together in the washer. It turned out so clean, the stain wasn't there anymore.

The pen color bleeds onto my hands and clothes when it gets wet.

Love love love these tide to go pens. Im always spilling something on myself and these are life saving. And so convenient to fit in your pocket or purse

I hope all is well. I’m not sure about everyone else’s experience but the Tide Pen ruined a $50 shirt of mine. This was my first time using the product so I thought I was good but using the Tide Pen on green shirt caused EXTREME discoloration, I kind of wish I could upload a picture to show. My shirt now has a pretty sizable discolored patch in the front where the initial stain was slight . I would not recommend using this product, stick to the immediate soap and water. I thought this product would help but it really ruined my $50 shirt.

I love these Tide to go pens. If your a parent like me, little ones are sometimes getting spills on their clothes and with the Tide Pen you just wipe and your good. For any little accidents you may have these are amazing. And small enough to keep in your purse or diaper bag. It really works to get the stains out on the go.

I've used this on white upholstered fabric to get rid of cat dirt stains and it was amazing. So when my partner spilt his hot black tea on our new white and grey nylon carpet, after I'd poured cold water on it to dilute it (which didn't seem to do much) I reached for carpet cleaners and none of them worked. By the time I remembered about the Tide Instant Stain remover I figured I'd 'set' the stain with all the carpet removers - and other cleaning things like white vinegar and baking soda - that I'd already used. But NO! IT WORKED! It took a few days but it slowly started disappearing. I had to give it two applications but we got there in the end. Thank you Tide, you saved the day!

I will keep a tide to go pen in my purse because I have two little girls who are always making a mess. I hate that. I’m wearing stains in their clothes especially when we are Going to an outing.

The tide togo pen is great and seems to work pretty well on small stains that just occurred, not if they have been sitting a while. It also seems to dry out pretty fast, causing to buy new ones frequently.

Tide to go sticks are a godsend! As a very clumsy and messy individual this product is a life saver! I keep one in my bedroom, in my car, in my purses at all times! Simply dab and rub the product into any glaring stain and it virtually disappears in mere minutes! Don’t waste any more time and purchase this product!

This product is AMAZING!!!!! It's perfect for the little stains /or the stains when your away from home!! Tonight I was vacuuming down on my knees when I stood up I had a sticky spot on my knee. Even though it looked like grease, I'm not sure what it was, bc it smelled too. But, I couldn't stop vacuuming right away bc there was some glass on the floor and not only did I not wanna step on it, I couldn't let my dogs step on it. So I had to hurry finish. By the time I got to go treat it several minutes have passed. But, I figured hey this will put the pen to the ultimate test. I only pressed the pen on the spot did NOT rub it or anything look you can barely see the spot! The spot was dark brown, very close to black. But, the it actually started to disappear before my eyes!! Once I rub the stain I'm positive the rest will come out! This product is well worth the money!! And I've had this pen for over a year haven't used it before this (that's why it's so faded lol) I could kick myself in the butt for it!!

works well if you get it on a stain quickly. nice to keep in your purse or desk. has saved me multiple times when i spill coffee on myself.

The Tide to go stick is a genius idea. This comes in handy for someone like me who tends to spill on herself. The only downside is sometimes it leaves a mark and the smell of it isn't to good. I keep one in my purse, desk and my car.

this is a lifesaver when you get small spot stains on your clothes. me and my roommates use this religiously and it works great! i need to buy more of this

There must have been a change in the formula because I’ve used this product with no issues in the past, and have been quite satisfied with this product that it became a staple for me to take everywhere I go. This pen ruined my brand new white sweatshirt and white tshirt after spot treating less noticeable stains than what I got after using the tide Togo pen. Not to mention it smells terrible. I must have spent a few bucks for the pen so no loss to me there, but I’m left with over $100 in damaged clothing.

This product does not work. My white shirt after using this product has a yellow stain on the area it was used. The smell was strong.

One in the laundry room, one in the purse and one in every room. This handy little pen goes a long way in saving our family’s clothes from accidents and mishaps.

I did loved the way it removed the coffee stain from my shirt but soon I realized that came with a price...the price of smelling like baby vomit all day long. I would love to know is this normal for tide pens to smell like this?? Dose the pen expired?? Can tide provide an SDS sheet ?

You need to change the smell. It does not smell like tide at all. It smells like poop. You can not use on the go because the smell is overwhelming gross!! If it smelled like tide I use for washing clothes it would be much better! Please change the smell! 🤢🤮

This product should not be sold, used this on a couple small spots on a brand new white hoodie- seemed to clean it. However after washing the hoodie and wearing out tonight noticed two yellow spots where we used this tide stick. Very frustrating as this was a brand new very expensive hoodie. We would have been better off leaving the stain alone.

Sitting in my laundry room crying right now. I had the tinniest spot from blackberries on my brand new $50 pants and used the tide pen. I all the sudden noticed it was stripping the color so I stopped and threw them in the washing mashine quick to get it off. Well all that did is cause it to spread and now I have a baseball size area of my jeans that is completely stripped of its color 😭 We don’t just have money to go buy new jeans and I’ve been waiting a while for these and now they’re completely ruined 😭 Tide do you refund for ruined clothing by your products?

The best results for this is if you use this right Away. It does require quite a bit of rubbing and scrubbing. The pros of this: it’s easy to use and pretty straight forward with its “push down to get the cleaning solution out, scrub with the included brush”. It doesn’t work on ink stains and I feel like accidental pen stains on my clothes are the most common.

I got coffee on my hoodie so I used a ride stick to fix it. It didn’t remove the stain, it lightened the color of the fabric where I placed it and there is a noticeable thin blue line around the lightened color. I tried to fix it with water and it made the blue line spread out even more. It’s a large and very noticeable section of my hoodie that has been ruined. Thanks a lot tide I literally can’t stop crying

This product is perfect for on-the-go and to get out small stains that you might get during the day. It’s the perfect size to keep in your purse, wallet, pocket, backpack, etc.

Used several times on various clothing. Each time it doesn’t do as good a job to remove the stain and leaves a residue that requires a wash. So much for “to go”. I also used it on a new expensive hoodie and it left a permanent discoloration. Awful product. Use oxiclean stain pen instead. Never fails me

I always keep one of these in my work bag! It is perfect for on the go. It keeps stains from developing and staining your clothes

I love this pen and how it gets most stains out! It's great to keep in my purse for any emergencies while I am gone. It is also great for traveling!

I always have 1 of these in my house just in case my kids drop some thing like food on their clothes, and I don’t have time to wash their clothes or not time to do laundry yet . Clean out the stain on their clothes.

This little thing can be a complete lifesaver… Do yourself a favor and put one in your purse! It’s a wonderful addition for when you’re out and about and you get something on your shirt or if you’re at work and are in a pinch this little stick, can do miracles for your clothes! Just be careful cause sometimes it can leave a bigger mark on darker clothes, put on sweaters and T-shirts it works wonders!

I got a bit of grease on my shirt while eating in the car. I get my Tide to go out and put it on the stain so it doesn't set. It honestly smells like vomit and it didn't even get the stain out of my blouse. I'm so upset. I had so many business meetings that day and you could tell the people in the room with me could smell the awful smell as well. I would never tell someone to use this. It does not work and it smells terrible,

Unfortunately for me the product did not remove any Blue Ink stain from a Blue Ink Gel Pen Stain that leaked in my white shirt pocket. No difference at all. Firstly, I followed instructions, removed the shirt placed in cold water and applied soap, scrubbing with a cloth. This did not remove much stain at all. I then used toothpaste on stain, and this removed the majority of the stain however stain could still be scene. I then used tide to go pen on stain, applied twice, removed with cold water and soap after rubbing in, however unfortunately in my case the stain remained the same. Thee was no difference at all. I had most success just using toothpaste. Perhaps I will have better luck next time, however in this case it was worth a shot to try, but I had better results using toothpaste.

I'm usually a huge fan of this stain removing pen. It's not working on the ink I got on my shirt today, however. Perhaps Tide To Go isn't 100% on every stain, but typically this always helps in a pinch. I keep one in my purse for issues when I'm on the run.

Put this in every single purse you own. You literally never know when you need it but you save a life when you have one on hand

Got a blue ink stain on a white shirt. Bought stain stick applied it within 30 minutes of the stain -- nothing and I mean nothing came out.

I reach for my tide pen often. It's great for small stubborn stains. I use it on shoes as well ad clothes. These shoes are over a year old. Great product. Highly recommend!

My little pen is amazing for little stains like tomatoes sauce, chocolate, but I have to used immediately no after 3 day. Works if you take care fast and quick

This product is an absolute life saver for little stains. In my opinion this honestly works better than any other full size stain remover I’ve ever used and has even gotten out a thick liquid black ink pen stain from my blouse. You don’t even need to put the clothes in the wash, you can just dab the stain with a wet cloth after using it!!

I wear a lot of white in my clothing and this is like a life saver. when I see a stain I just put a dot on it and it goes away 5 minutes after. Works like a charm!

Clean can be travel friendly!! These work on clothing and stains to retreat so you can save the clothes you love. I like the convenience.

This tide pen was once part of my uniform at work and was required. Like I would be in trouble or fired if I didn't have it in my apron because they wanted our white shirts clean at all times.

I like the convenience of the Tide stain remover pen and keep one stashed in my purse for food stain emergencies. It doesn’t help remove all types of stains though.

I carry this in my purse often! It works great and helps when I make a mess, which unfortunately is on the regular! It’s very effective and convenient!

I like that it is convenient and you can carry it in your purse it works on some stains but it doesn’t work for spaghetti sauce or ketchup and grape juice stains

I was at a wedding and had a female mishap. Tide to go got all of the blood out of my dress!

I just found the flower girl dress my daughter wore in my wedding December 1998. It got shoved in the back of a closet and forgotten. I now have three grand daughters that love to dress up. When i pulled it out I remembered that something had dripped down the front at the reception. Never got tended to. Pulled out the Tide To Go pen. It instantly brought out a chocolate smell, probably ice cream. Then the spots completely disappeared! I am stunned. Twenty-three years later those chocolate stains came instantly out of cream colored satin!

I love this product! I Always carry it in my purse or car. It’s the perfect size for on the go! Highly recommend this product to keep in your purse.

I have used pens before and they worked great! Bought one while on vacation and used it! Now my favorite cover up is ruined! I was it right away and has large yellow spots where I used product!

This product is HORRIBLE I had a little spit on my white shirt and when I used the Ride stain remover pen it left a big yellow spot in its place. Now my good polo shirt is ruined. False advertising and crappy product.

These easy to use pens take out stains pretty well, and as someone who seems to spill a lot of food on their clothing, I keep these handy wherever I go. You just push down to get some of the liquid out, then scrub it by kind of coloring on it with the clear liquid. Most stains come out pretty well. The only stain I know of that didn’t come out was turmeric.

Took stain out at work within seconds. Highly recommend

I find that these pens can remove most or all of a stain about 9/10 times. It’s really dependent on the type of material you stain, what the stain is, and how long the stain has been sitting for. The best way to use it is to let the tide solution sit then blot the stain with water/wash the garment. Also put something absorbent underneath the material so the tide pen liquid doesn’t touch you or another part of your clothes. I have saved a lot of clothes with these pens, I normally keep one on me when I’m going out. Another way to use them is to whiten your shoes! Works super well, just do a little spot test first if you are worried about ruining a certain material. I have saved my beloved vans using a tide pen (removed clay stains)

Used an entire pen trying to get out spaghettie souse stain out as advertised and it did little to no use. save your money. The spot was smaller then a quarter and the shirt was white.

It definitely gets the stains out, which is why I am rating it five stars for quality. Value is at one star because I will never use it again, therefore it has no value to me. This stuff stinks! Within an hour of using it to remove a stain I now have the worst headache I have had in a long time. I am still wearing the shirt and am at work. I come to this website to try looking up any information I could find about warnings, specifically for a toxic smell. Now after taking two minutes to write this review, while this is still "fresh" on my mind, I am going home from work sick. All because of removing a stain from my shirt!

I got a little bit of soy sauce on my jeans and used the tide pen in a small area. The jeans are now completely faded in that spot and around it. The jeans were $250 and now they are ruined. This pen is supposed to work on colors and whites and not bleach your jeans. DO NOT BUY.

I had just bought a tan colored VANS brand hoodie and got a weird small black mark on it but didn’t have time to wash it so I attempted to use a tide pen and it literally removed the color from the fabric of the hoodie and left the stain . So now it’s worse than it was before. $65 hoodie ruined

Got a couple drips of the Mickey D’s breakfast burrito cheese on a new shirt. Stopped at Walmart, purchased the pen and applied. Stain’s still there and possibly some discoloration to my shirt. Hopefully Walmart’s return works better!

The stick has left white marks on my clothing. I tried adding water after it would dry and noticed a white mark and it wouldn’t disappear. I’ve washed my pants hoping it was just soap residue but my clothes is now ruined.

Look, this thing works like a DREAM at getting a spot off your clothes. But how often does that happen? So you put it in your purse until you need it. Then one evening you're having dinner at a nice restaurant and something drips on your blouse. So you reach for that pen you've been carrying around for just this reason. If it's been a while, even if it was brand new when you stowed it, it STINKS! I mean, it reeks. The spot is gone, but now you smell it the rest of the night and worry that others do too. That is seriously my only complaint, but it's kind of a big one. Look great and smell bad or smell nice and be embarrassed about food on your decolletage.

Out of nowhere it smells like vomit, STRONGLY, and I hadn't google before so I thought it was the fabric and just kept putting more and more to make it smell like tide. Help! Stains completely gone though, and it was bright red hot sauce on a white pillow.

So far today I have gotten to sriracha and enchilada sauce out of a light blue outfit. The only thing that I noticed that was wrong was that it smelled like poop. I've had this pen for maybe a year now. I remember a lady at work had one that was a little bit older and it smelled like poop too. I didn't see anything about an expiration date on there. Is there a reason for it to smell this way?? Other than that the product is absolutely amazing. I'm guessing after it ages it stink because when I first bought it and used it it did not smell. I did a quick Google search and some people compare it to vomit, but for me it's definitely poopy lol Can we figure out how to solve this stinky problem Tide?? This product is definitely a lifesaver and would hate not to be able to keep it for months for when I really need to use it because of the smell

These are awful they don’t get even most stains out. Even if it’s fresh It’s useless. I’ve had 3 and all of them have had the top just pop off and all the contents spill out! These suck for real I’d actually like to talk to corporate about this scam

This is a great product to have on hand it has kept my kids from ruining their clothes from stains I just grab this and the stain is gone

These are amazing!! As a nanny, I keep two of these on me at all times. They get out the toughest stains like ketchup and mustard from white shirts.

I never leave home without one of these tide pens. It has saved me on many occasions. It is super easy to use and actually works! I would recommend this item to anyone!

Nice and convenient for an on the go clean for those unexpected messes. Whether it's your morning coffee that drips on your shirt heading into work or the mess you made on yourself at lunch, these help to avoid those embarrassing stains when your stuck without a change of clothes.

These are a lifesaver. Love these pens, great for on the go. They really do get out stains and tough ones too. I am impressed with how well they work. I would recommend them to anyone for those opps moments.

It works good I like tacking everywhere invade I spill something in my cloths. It doesn’t come out completely but it helps by making it unnoticeable. Hen you apply it let it dry and you can’t see the stain. Maybe just a little bit. But I do recommend it it helps Sooo much.

I keep these in my purse, car, backpack. Literally everywhere. They’re so helpful on the go and I have never seen it not work.

This works! I keep them in my bag and in the kitchen, I even keep one in my car ! . Perfect for a splash when I’m cooking or eating, great in a restaurant when eating out and you accidentally drip something on you ! Worth the price since it saves your clothing from a stain. I buy the two pack ! I just rub it on a few times until the stain gets wet and lighter, then wash as normal when I get home, and I haven’t had a problem @with a stain since ;)

This stain remover is very good. It is easy to store. It does not last the long. Improvement to the cap for a tighter fit. It is affordable compared to other brands. I recommend for all clothes.

Absolutely love this. I’m constantly spilling things on myself or I’ll accidentally bump into something. I carry this in my purse, car, pretty much everywhere. However, I do think this product is over priced for how much you get.

So handy to have with you all of the time!! Fits perfectly in my purse no matter which one I carry!!

Helps with easy stains on the go, but definitely doesn’t erase a whole lot! Still have to clean to get the stain out

I love the convenience of this product, I like to keep one in a purse in a bag that i carry in the car it fits everywhere super easy. Above that it works great for quick cleanup especially when you are out and have limited resources to clean. My mother used to send one with me to school just in case i got something on my clothes at school.

These pens are so awesome. They do a great job to remove stains and not damage the fabric of the item that has been stained. I highly recommend this item, especially for the price point!

Great to have in your purse, car, lunch bag, camper and many other places for those unfortunate spill and drip moments. It works quickly and usually does not leave a spot on your garment. I carry it in my bag and car.

This stuff is amazing. It takes my stains away in a few mins. I only wish there was more product in the container, it runs out so quick

This stick works really good and it’s saved me in so many situations! I recommend if you’re a messy eater or go on vacay a lot.

I love this product. It really does get the stain out when your on the go. It's a great item to have in your purse

This has saved me before so many days of school and work. Perfect for little or big stains. Also works on shoes!!

I never leave home without, Great stain remover. It really has came in handy in many different occasions. I recommend to everyone!

Little miracle workers! I have several of these sticks and keep them in my different bags, the car, and around the house. Easy to tab on a stain when it happens and works super well at getting it out so it doesn’t set before you can wash it!

Does help get grease stains out of clothes when it happens to help release. But isn’t the best for ink stains at work.

Always keep one in the diaper bag and my purse for the on the go use. Works well if used soon after staining clothing.

It definitely works. Long story short , too much merlot & a white bodysuit . It was there then it wasn’t after one wash

I am devastated.... my $100 pants ruin. I leaked (woman problems) on one of my favorite pants. Usually with a feminine stain I just soak in cold water and it comes right out with a little soap and scrubbing. Well.. i leaked at work and happened to have tide pen handy. I used it immediately after leaking and it pushed the stain in and now I have a gross outline of the stain stuck on my pants. I am so upset. What a waste of money. Save the money and just take your clothes home to wash instead. It's going to be so expensive to replace my pants... just cause I thought i trusted tide.

This is great for on the go if you have little ones, it’s inexpensive and it gets a lot of stains out, just not all
