How many times have you been out eating someplace, only to spill food on your clothing? You know that if you do not do something to remove the stain right away, it will set in, and then you may never be able to get the stain out. If the garment is an expensive one, this can be almost as annoying and frustrating as a case of eczema.
As someone who goes to a lot of baseball games, this happens to me a lot. I’m eating a hot dog or a slice of pizza, and maybe someone bumps into me as they are trying to get past me to get out of the row. Or maybe a great play happens, and it causes me to get all excited and maybe drop my hot dog, or squeeze it too tight and cause ketchup or mustard to leak.
Well, ever since I’ve been carrying a Tide To Go Instant Stain Remover pen in my bag, no more permanently stained and ruined clothes!
According to the manufacturer, this works best on fresh food stains, not so much on blood, grass, or other non-food stains. It’s simple to use. Here are the instructions for use, from the Tide website:
* 1. Remove excess residue from the stain.
* 2. Press the tip onto the stain several times to release some stain remover solution onto the stain.
* 3. Rub tip gently across the stain to remove it. When necessary, add more liquid and continue rubbing gently.
* 4. Important: If treated area will be exposed to direct sunlight, wipe with a damp cloth or napkin to remove excess solution left on fabric.
* For tough stains, place a paper towel under the stain while treating or wipe excess liquid or residue away with a damp paper towel, or reapply as necessary.
This stuff WORKS! I’ve saved many a beloved baseball T-shirt from the rag pile because of this. More importantly, I’ve saved both of my authentic jerseys, the ones just like the players wear. These jerseys are EXPENSIVE, and to ruin one with stains that will never come out would break my heart.
A single Tide To Go pen retails for about three bucks…a very small price to pay to save beloved and/or expensive clothes from ruin. They are also available in multi-packs of various sizes for less per pen, so everyone in the family can have their own, and you could also keep one in your desk at work.
Tide is offering a $1.00 off coupon for this product. Go to this page to request one. They’ll mail it to you, which is good, because some stores will not accept internet coupons.
Give it a try…IT WORKS!
