If you are a parent you will know that kids spill everything on them. There is not a day that goes by that my 9 year old daughter does not get juice, chocolate, Gatorade, ink, marker, grass or some other substance on her clothing. This usually happens when we are away from home and she can't just change into something else. I started carrying the Tide Pen in my purse just for that reason. If anyone, yes I have a habit of spilling things on myself too, spills, drops, or drips anything on their clothing we break out the Tide Pen and the stain disappears in minutes. The pen last for a really long time, is priced great and is easy to find at most any supermarket or large department store. The only thing bad I could say about the Tide Pen is that I have been told that it doesn't smell great once you use it on your clothing and it has left a "wet spot" stain on some fabrics. Neither one of these comes from me. My sister said she used it on a shirt and it removed the actual stain but left what looked like a wet spot where the stain was and the spot never went away. I have also been told that the pen smells bad after you have used it to which I replied - "Don't smell the spot and it won't smell bad." Simple fix on that one. Even after hearing these two things against the pen I still carry it with me everywhere I go and use it regularly.
