The tide to go pen works well only if you use it right away on a stain. If a stain dries and you try to use the pen on it later on, forget it, it won't work. It will not take out old stains. It's a small pen, making it easy to carry around and it is easy to use. Just shake, push down on the stain with the pen and it releases its liquid and scrub around. It's basically a pre stain treater.

This is my go to while working or out. It never leaves my car! Excellent product! Just take it out, put it on the fresh stain, but don’t rub it in! When you get home put your garment in the washer. Works great on any fabric. Remember to store one in your car for convenience!

These are perfect for the go. I have one in my car, purse, at my desk, and computer bag. This formula seems to have been improved. Takes that drip of salad dressing out of your shirt.
