Using a Tide Instant Stain Remover pen is a quick and effective way to tackle small spills and spots on fabric when you're on the go. The process involves a few simple steps to help lift and remove fresh stains before they set.
Simple Steps to Tackle Stains Instantly
Here are the straightforward steps to use your Tide pen effectively, based on the recommended method:
- Prepare the Stain: Start by removing any excess residue directly from the spill. This could mean gently wiping away food bits or blotting excess liquid with a clean cloth or paper towel.
- Activate the Solution: Press the tip of the pen directly onto the stained area. This action releases the stain-fighting solution from the pen onto the fabric.
- Work It In: Rub the solution that has been dispersed into the stain using the pen's tip. This helps the formula penetrate the fabric fibers and break down the stain.
- Allow and Reapply: Wait for several minutes to allow the treated area to dry. If the stain is still visible, you can reapply the solution following steps 2 and 3.
- Blot Away Excess: Once the stain appears gone or significantly faded, blot the excess solution off the fabric using a clean paper towel.
