Follow these easy steps to use your Tide wipes for instant stain removal:
Simple Steps for Instant Stain Removal
When you encounter a new stain, act quickly and follow these actions:
Step 1: Scrape It Off
- Action: If there is any excess food, liquid, or debris on the stain, it's important to remove it first.
- Method: Carefully scrape it off using a blunt edge, such as a spoon, knife, or even the edge of a credit card.
- Why? Removing the excess prevents pushing the stain deeper into the fabric and makes the wipe more effective.
Step 2: Blot, Don't Scrub
- Action: Begin applying the Tide To Go Wipe to the stained area.
- Method: Start blotting the stain from the outer edges and work your way inward towards the center.
- Why? This technique, referred to as "Blot, Don't Scrub," helps to lift the stain out of the fabric rather than rubbing it in or spreading it wider. Blotting from the outside in confines the stain.
Repeat the blotting process as needed with a fresh area of the wipe until the stain is no longer visible or significantly faded.
Quick Usage Guide
| Step | Action | Detail |
|---|---|---|
| 1. Preparation | Scrape Off Excess Debris | Use a blunt tool (knife, spoon) to remove solids. |

These wipes, like the Instant Stain Removing Wipes mentioned in the reference, are designed for immediate spot treatment. For best results, use them on fresh stains and follow up with a full wash later if necessary.
