A while back, I was reading a blog that talked about a product that the author didn't recommend and it got me to thinking (uh-oh.) There are products out there that work, they live up to the hype about them, and then there are products that do zilch, nada, nothing of what they say they'll do. A few weeks ago, at lunch with friends, one of the gals dripped some ice cream on her aqua tee top & immediately whipped out one of those Tide-To-Go, instant stain remover sticks. I thought, sure, uh-huh, that'll work......... not. So I asked her if they really work & she said definitely; she won't leave home without it & she proceeded to wet & wipe the area. Before we left the restaurant, skeptic that I am, asked to see her spot & would you believe we couldn't find it. Gone. Completely gone. Wow, I'm impressed (& for those of you who know me, you know that's no easy feat.) So the next time I was in Wally World I picked up one of those handy pens. We love it. We've removed chocolate ice cream (do you see a pattern here, with the ice cream :) ), coffee, iced tea and a few unknown marks on even white tee shirts. Each & every one of the spots had been completely removed. Now, understand that these spots aren't very large, largest was, I guess, maybe quarter size, and they were fresh, but still they were gone. So, if you tend to pick up a spot here &/or there, I do recommend this little gadget. I won't say it'll rid you of all your spots, but it has helped us save a few shirts (& pants.)
Another favorite spot remover is Spot Shot but I haven't had to use that since the Tide pen came into our lives.
