2.0 out of 5 stars These were better when they used a felt tip, June 20, 2010

This review is from: Tide to Go Instant Stain Remover, .338-Ounce Sticks (Pack of 6) (Health and Beauty)

When these first came out, I thought they were great. In fact, I couldn't believe how well they got stains out. I was very impressed. I always carried one in my purse as I spill stuff on my shirt DAILY. Yes, daily. I'm that messy.

However, not too long into their production cycle, I noticed they changed the material of the tips of these pens. Initially, they were a kind of felt material. A tad absorbent. Now they are hard plastic and I feel this is the reason these no longer work for me. Ever since they changed the tip material, I have been really disappointed with how these pens perform. What I'm left with now every time I try and get a stain out is a two-tiered stain; the larger stain where the Tide liquid expanded to and the original stain itself. Hard to know which is worse - my now larger-in-size and faded two-tiered stain or the original stain itself. Think about it: when you get a stain on something, using something absorbent really helps blot out the stain. With this plastic tip, all you're doing is spreading the stain out to a larger area. I remember when I first used these, the tip would get slightly off-colored...it was absorbing the stain.

Until they switch back to a felt tip, I'm done with these. They are a huge waste of money and succeed only in lightening the stain a little and creating a larger, off-colored surrounding stain.

4.0 out of 5 stars Mostly works well, March 28, 2006

I really, really wanted this to work great, since I am both a klutz who spills stuff on herself and a mom. So far I've used it on:

1. Tomato sauce - works perfectly if you catch it right away, so-so after the stain has started to set (5-10 minutes)

2. Chocolate icing - lightened the stain, but was still clearly there.

3. Baby spit-up - totally gone, but that's an easy one.

4. Soda - worked perfectly

5. Red food coloring - smaller dots totally gone, larger dot got smeared and became a nice big light pink spot, instead of a dark red medium spot :) but food coloring's always bad

I'm pretty happy with this, it works very well as long as you get to the stain immediately (meaning you notice it when you spill it!) and I will keep one in my purse and one in the diaper bag.

5.0 out of 5 stars Absolutely amazing. You have to try it to believe it!!!, October 3, 2006

I am a skeptic by nature. As someone with a degree in business I expect marketers to stretch the truth, at a minimum. I purchased this product thinking if it didn't work it was only few dollars. The guys at work were as skeptical as I was until the first coffee spill. This little pen even removed a coffee stain that was 4 hours old. We were all absolutely amazed!

I have used this product on the following stains and it removed them completely:
1. fresh coffee stain
2. 4 hour old coffee stain
3. balsamic vinegar
4. make up (foundation)
5. marinara sauce
6. olive oil
7. soy sauce

If you or your significant other are spill prone, pick one of these up right away. I have one in desk and another one in my purse. I knew Tide had a winner when the guys at work began purchasing their own Tide to go pens after using mine.

I can not recommend this product highly enough. It is actually one of those products that does everything that it claims.
