Tide Stain Release In-Wash Booster

I'll say right from the start that this product was a disappointment in the laundry department. I used it everyway I could think of: hot water, cold water; full strength direct on stain, in water soaking; scrub, soak; in-wash with regular detergent. Every way you could use a stain lifter. Old stains, new stains. Every kind of stain. When compared to regular detergent as a pre-treatment, I was more impressed with the stain-removing power of the detergent.

The Tide product costs about as much as a small bottle of regular laundry detergent, and in my in-home real life usage it wasn't worth the extra cost of an extra product that takes up extra space.

Despite being a disappointment in the laundry room, this product did impress in the kitchen. Yes, kitchen. The Tide Stain Release liquid worked very well on cleaning (we're talking that pretty new shine clean) my stove's drip pans. Pour a little in a sink of hot water, soak the pans for a few hours, wipe (some scrubbing may be required) rinse, and enjoy the shine!
