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... review »

When the tide pens first came out, I thought they would be so great. I am a naturally messy person, so naturally I am always looking for different and better ways to take stains out of my clothes. So when I saw the Tide pen, I thought it was the greatest invention yet. This however is not the case. Some... review »

The Tide pen works but not as well as I thought it would. It has worked on several stains but don't try it on chocolate! My daughter had a white(yes white) shirt and some of her ice cream dripped on her shirt. Well, I used the pen and the stain seemed to be gone . About 15 minutes later, the area where the chocolate ice cream  was had a big yellow ring/stain on it. I went into the bathroom to wash it out and the yellow was still there. I put it into the wash and it never came out. It has also left rings several other times. It seems to mess up some materials as well.

The Tide Pen is the most amazing product in it's class!  Two years ago, my mother and I travelled from Texas to New York to visit relatives we hadn't seen in years.  About two hours away from my aunt's house, we stopped for a cup of coffee.  All was going well until a good laugh and my mother spilled her coffee on her white denim pants!!  This is a pretty normal event in my mother's world.  She is a spiller!!  Well, she pulled out her Tide Pen.  She said she had never used it before, but was willing to try it right then.  Within moments, the spill was not even noticable!!  It was simply... review »

As a frequent customer-facing traveller, I always carry a Tide Pen on my computer bag.  It works well on all food stains (and some shoe polish as wel) on anything from poly-blends to 100% cotton.  However, I have noticed (and some other customer commented in the Tide Forum) that after a few month, the solutions starts to deteriorate and develops a putrid odor.  There is no amount of airing that will get rid of.  The solution has a light odor when new, which is almost unnoticeable. It is possible that contact with air causes this reaction but if the chemical structure changes to produce this...

Busy trying to please my staff and give them a morale pick me up after one of those crazy seasons, I picked up The Tide Pen for each of them.  At first it was wonderful.  It satisfied the diet crazed and was good for the gadget happy.

Then came our first lunch mishaps and out came those handy dandy pens.  Half the tips broke.  I know my staff is great with public relations on the phone and wonderful with clients.  They are not gentle in terms of anything else.  Sooo, the perfect little "you are appreciated" gift was the perfect frustration.

Besides reinforcing my cheap nature, I now need...

The Tide pen is great because its the size of an actual pen so its easy to bring around with you. Though it will remove stains, the pen solution will not bleach the area so its safe to use on all fabrics. I've even removed chocolate stains! Its also very affordable, usually under $3 US. And boy does it last! I use mine all the time and I've had the same pen for over a year and it is still as effective. I bought everyone I know one for Christmas. Everyone in my office has one in thier desk drawers, and they are handy! I strongly recommend this product.

The Tide Pen is a great product.   I have found it very useful in many situations.   It is easy to carry in your purse but the lids do not stay on well and that means that the pen can dry out in a hurry.   If Tide were to correct this problem the product would be superb.

I love the Tide pen. We love to eat at Mexican Restaurants. Some how one of us always ends up with salsa on our clothes. The Tide pen always saves our clothes.

The Tide pen is so small, not much bigger than an ink pen and easy to carry in your purse, or keep one in the console in your car.

Try it you'll like the results you get.

I love the Tide Pen!  It has come in handy for me soooo many times.  It seems like everyone I know is messy & we're always spilling something on the front of a shirt or pants, and the Tide Pen helps us not to look like slobs!  I do find it works best on light colored clothes and I am sometimes afraid to use it on something dark because I'm afraid it might leave a ring, which I've even noticed on some of the lighter things.  I think those rings came out when I washed it though. 

The one problem I have had is that depending on the stain, it may spread it around even more.  I tried to take...

The Tide Pen is fantastic.  I had heard about this several years ago and thought "oh sure, this will magically take a stain off the shirt I am wearing."  I have a daughter who is a cheerleader and of course on of the uniforms is WHITE!  Many times they wear the uniform to school, on the bus and cheer at the games. She always carries her Tide Pen with her wherever she goes. Many times it has come in handy for her but also the other cheerleaders are always grateful that she has her Tide Pen with her.  They just dab the pen on the stain and it disappears.  It leaves the spot a little wet but...

I work in a large call center and I would keep the TIDE pen in my purse because I was an assistant trainer in our new hire classes and the last thing I needed was to stand in front of 20+ people with lunch on my attire. I used the pen on a coffee spill on my pants and it came out great but all day I couldn't figure out what the awful smell was that I would catch from time to time. I retraced all my activities and realized that it had to be te pen. I grabbed it out of my purse and had another co-worker smell it and they were taken back by the smell. Granted it may have smelled terrible but it got...

I am the world's best at spilling something on my shirt when eating out.  I have had family members say I should wear a bib (even though I am 63), I laugh when they say that, but I should.  Now I don't have to with the Tide pen.  It has not failed to remove anything that I have dropped on my shirt, it is a life saver.  I now can walk out of the restuarant without taking my meal with me, visible for all to see.  A wonderful item to keep in your purse.

At first I was skeptical about the product from watching the TV commercial.  I received a coupon in the mail and decided to purchase the pen.  I put it to the test when I got brown lipstick on my shirt. I couldn't believe my eyes when I looked for the stain a couple of minutes after using the product.  The stain was gone and the spot was dry! It's a great product to keep in your bag or in your car....just in case .

OK...so I used this just his morning because Im so clumbsy that I drop eyeliner on myself....this thing has gotten everything out except Ink...I have heard it doesnt work too well on blood, but I have not tried. I do know if you use it on ink it will make the ink bleed so dont attempt that one....otherwise...this is a lifesaver...it may not smell so hot....but holy cow....it leaves no stains!!!
