Best product ever, June 30, 2009
Well it was our wedding day and my wife looked amazing. The only problem is that her red rose bouquet bled into her wedding dress. Could you imagine the horror???? All I can say is thank the good lord for Tide To Go as it saved the day and our wedding... Best product I have ever used. Once again Tide does it again with a remarkable product
Miraculously Unuseful, May 22, 2009
I've had a tide stick at my office for 6 months. The three times I've used the stick, after a salad dressing spill, coffee stain, and mustard stain, the stick has gotten rid of the stains, but leaves a white stain instead. In some of these cases the white stains are more salient than the original stains.
Keep it with you in the car., February 14, 2009

I bought this for my car, because I sometimes eat in my car and without a table, accidents happen. It works better than nothing. It can't get all stains out, but it does lessen the appearance (the drip… from a taco comes to mind). I did once use stain wipes which worked better, but this is easier to not lose. I've kept it in the car forever. With the heat getting up past 120 degrees in there, I was sure it would dry out; but when I needed it, it was still there and ready.

Good stuff, December 2, 2008

I carry one of the Tide pens in my purse all the time. When one of my kids drops something on their clothes it takes me about 10 seconds to get it out. It doesn't work as well on really greasy stains, but… pretty much everything else comes out without issue. In the past if I was in a public place and one of my kids dropped something on their clothes I had to go to a public bathroom and get my kid all wet. Half the time the stain did not come out. With the Tide pen I just pull it out of my purse and any smallish stain can be taken care of in only a few seconds. No mess at all--makes going places with kids lots easier!

Tide to go stick, November 27, 2008
Tide to go is a great product. We buy six at a time and my wife keeps one in her purse, I have one in my desk and keep one in the car. Of course we keep one or two around the house. We use if a lot on our grandson.

Very good product.
