First I want to say that I am doing this product review completely on my own because I wanted to see if it really worked. This is not endorsed or propositioned by anyone. I bought the product myself. With that being said...I wasted my money. I bought the smallest sized package which was enough to be added to 10 loads of laundry. It had a chance to impress me, but it didn't. I might have seen a tiny improvement, but it was not worth the extra cost. The price was $3.79 at Target which makes it an extra 38 cents a load for not very noticeable results (if even that much). This product is just a "booster" and doesn't clean on its own. You still need to use your regular laundry detergent. I use Gain Laundry detergent. When I added Tide Stain Release to the laundry along with my regular detergent I did not notice a change. My results might have been different had I used a cheaper or less effective detergent, but I don't see myself switching detergents any time soon. My 3 year old son is pretty hard on clothes. He loves actually being a bulldozer and lying in the dirt as he pushes it with his body. I am not about to switch to a detergent that "might" work. I am also not about to waste my money on a product that I do not see results from. I do not recommend Tide Stain Release. I will just stick with a spray on stain treatment as needed.
Have you tried it? Were your results different? Please share your thoughts. I would like people to be able to make the most informed decision possible.
I started using this a few weeks ago and really like it. I use Purex detergent and have noticed a big difference. Maybe it is a matter of which detergent you use. My sister uses Tide and she had already told me she didn't see results (I didn't believe her since I did), after reading this I told her that she might be right. Good review...thx!
ReplyDeleteGood, so it wasn't just me. Glad you are seeing results. I'd say it does depend on your detergent. Thank you so much for your feedback. I'm sure it helped others, it helped me! Thanks again for reading Mom Tried It.
ReplyDeletea friend of mine uses this on her sons' baseball pants. she pours it directly on the "baseball dirt" stans and then washes them as normal. she swears by it, but i've never tried it. luckily my boys' baseball pants are BLACK and not white like her teams.
ReplyDeletemy husband washed and dried a light load of laundry with a purple crayon UGH!! After about 5 washes I got most of the stains out of the clothes but there we some of my daughter's shorts and bathing suits that the stains would not budge from. I sprayed the clothes with the Tide Stain release and left them for a week (I actually forgot about them). When I went to wash them all of the stains were gone, I really couldn't believe it because the clothes were covered in BRIGHT purple stains. I use Tide detergent normally and I do notice a difference in the stains on our clothes after using the Tide Stain Release. I am in Canada so maybe ours is made differently?
ReplyDeleteI don't know if they make them different, but I am really glad to hear that people have had success with this product. I am a big fan of Proctor & Gamble products and was very disappointed with this. Maybe, for once, I didn't have bad enough stains. lol. I am glad that you like it and I am extremely thankful that you are sharing your experience here with others. I want everyone to have as much information as they can get to make the best decision for themselves. So thank you very much! You guys are great!
