I am now a believer of this product. I am old-school when it comes to stain removal. Soaking in bleach, and washing. I've always been skeptical of what I see on the tv ads.
Yesterday I saw my sister-in-law use this product on her clothes. It did take away the stain. She accidentally left it at our house and I was glad she did. While taking a walk this morning with baby, I spilled some coffee on my white sweater. Went home right away and used tide to go. It took a little bit of scrubbing but all the stain spots disappeared. I think the faster you use it on a stain, the better.
With a baby in the house, this will be a lifesaver. The 10ml Tide to Go retails for $3.99 in the stores. There is a Tide to Go Mini, but I did not see it in the store. I now have one each in my diaper bags.

To use Tide to Go:
http://www.tide.com/images/spacer.gif
1. Remove excess residue from stain.
http://www.tide.com/images/spacer.gif
2. Press the Tide to Go tip onto the stain several times to release some stain remover solution onto the stain.
http://www.tide.com/images/spacer.gif
3. Rub tip gently across the stain to remove it. When necessary, add more liquid and continue rubbing gently.
http://www.tide.com/images/spacer.gif
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.
http://www.tide.com/images/spacer.gif
FOR BEST RESULTS: Follow all four steps above.

For tough stains, place a paper towel under the stain while treating or wipe excess liquid or residue away with a damp paper towel.

For stains that do not come out, treat before washing. Tide to Go is not a pretreater; it is an on-the-go stain remover.
