Tide Stain Release

I received a free full-size sample of the new Tide Stain Release tablets and I'll admit, I was skeptical. Few things are able to remove baby food, Kool-aid, and baseball field dirt from our clothes and rags.

Let me tell you, I was -amazed-. I accidentally knocked over a full glass of cherry red Kool-aid and grabbed the nearest kitchen towel to clean it up. Unfortunately, the towel I grabbed was a stark white linen dish towel- a very nice wedding gift. It wasn't until I soaked up the Kool-aid that I realized which towel I had grabbed. Frustrated, I threw it into the sink. I came back the next day and thought, "Well, that was dumb. Now I'll NEVER be able to get this stain out."

I was wrong. I washed it with a Tide Stain Release tablet and VOILA! No more stains!! You can't even tell it was covered in cherry red Kool-aid!

I HIGHLY recommend this product.
