Disclosure: I am a P&Gmom/mamanP&G ambassador. As part of my affiliation with this group I receive products and have been compensated to put Tide to the stain test. The opinions on this blog are my own.
Spring is most definitely here (I think this actually finally holds true for my readers in Ontario!) and I know I’m not alone when I throw open the back door, take a deep breath of fresh air, and usher the kids out the door to finally GO PLAY! Whether it’s the backyard or the schoolyard, spring brings with it a ton of dirt, grass and who-knows-what-else on my kid’s clothes. Just this week my 11-year-old triumphantly told me that at school he was “chest deep in a whole filled with dirt”. Wonderful.
This spring, I’m part of a team of bloggers ready to put Tide Ultra Stain Release to the test. At home, regular consumers simply put a product to the test by using it in their day to day cleaning. I get to purposely get clothing stained and dirty and then see if Tide Ultra Stain Release can really stand up to the challenge.
Tide removes over 100 stains in one wash, so something like jam should be easy-peasy right?
We wanted to ensure we were very thorough, so I enlisted the help of something who knows how to make a good mess.
After we made a big mess of our t-shirt, I made sure to be fair and blot the jam stains and remove any excess.
Then, I added Tide Ultra Stain Release right to the stain.
Check out the lid of the Tide bottle – look at those tiny brushes ready to help remove stains and work the product in. I love this!
I used the bristles in the lid to work in the Tide Ultra Stain Release liquid, and tossed it in the wash, hoping for the best. After all, what would I do if I had to tell you that the stain didn’t come out, that I had to wash it twice? The review process would be complete, but it certainly wouldn’t be a shining star for Tide.
After a regular wash, and then tossed in the dryer, this was the result. Albeit a little wrinkly, the t-shirt was fully inspected and I’m happy to report that the jam stains (both blueberry and grape) were successfully removed using Tide Ultra Stain Release.
Hooray for a successful result in challenge #1. Stay turned for our next stain challenge. I hope it involves wine. 😉

Jam stains are a daily struggle in our home! Happy to see that they were no match for Tide! I love the new scrubbing lid! Looks like the kids had fun!
For me , the worse stains, its mustard and tomato sauce stains! My sis just had her baby on Wed, so for her it will be baby formula (there’s nothing worse then baby throw up on your shoulder)
I have been using Tide for years. It is the best on stains. I must check for that new cover on my next purchase.
I like my tide, I have a stock pile so haven’t gotten the bottle with the scrubbie thing on it
Looks like great stuff! I love how it has the scrubbie thing on the cap 🙂
Love the lid on this to help scrub away stains! Tide is my only laundry detergent!
wow that is amazing! thanks for sharing that. I hate when I can’t get stains out!
You make it look so easy, but if I were to do that I would have one big mess and it would probably end up worse..lol but Tide does work, I won’t deny that, just wished it wasn’t so expensive!!
At my house its grass stains and food always on the kids clothes.
The scrub brush on the lid is a clever idea. It would really help rubbing the soap in!
This is product I might just have to try and it looks like fun too!
We don’t use Tide in our house due to my allergies but it looks like it does a great job.
I’m going to have to switch to tide.
I love Tide,it never fails!!
No way!! as if the Tide bottle has a brush on the top to help scrub the stains out ! that is absolutely amazing! so clever
I really need to try this!
Love the brush, great idea!
Very cool test! We love Tide here and will always wait for sales to stock up. 🙂
Butter or oil stains are the worst to get out.
I have never used Tide,thick i will pick up a bottle for those tough stains!
I must admit that I just purchased Tide again after quite some time and am impressed. It wasn’t this bottle with the super cool lid though, so I must look out for it.
Love Tide!!!
i need this bad, I put a top on my son today and notice a big stain that didn’t come out. my toddler is a dirty little guy
I love tide. I have been using Tide for years.
we love using Tide, it really gets the job done!
Wow, I am impressed by the results of your test! This would be a very useful product in my home! I love the bristles on the end of the lid – great idea! I love when items have more than one use/purpose…
I never seem to have much luck getting stains out, I may need to try Tide
Wow! Tide really did a great job on that stain. I’ve been using the pods lately but will have to pick up a bottle to try out the scrubbie thing.
Already I’m getting grass stains on the boys pants. I’ll have to try this Tide.
Tide really is the best!
Blood stains are my worst nightmare. I work in a meat department at a grocery store
I’ve used Tide my whole life, nothing cleans better
Great package. I love the scrubby lid on the Tide.
I am a Tide user for as long as I can remember.
Wow, I’m impressed with the results. I love the scrub brush on the lid. It’s brilliant!
i love the lid — how cool is that?!
Tomato sauce is so hard to get out, kids are always making a mess of their t-shirts
I love that there’s a scrubbing brush built into the lid. Great idea! 🙂
I’m impressed with Tide. It did an amazing job getting out those stains!
i love tide. it’s such a great product
omg this would be absolutely amazing to win! I love Tide. always been a family favorite and with two wee ones, its always being used
ohhh great,,i love Tide products!
wow i am impressed it worked
I bet this would be great for my husbands dirty clothes!!
I love the lid. Would be great to help get rid of strains
Spaghetti sauce is my biggest challenge stains. I swear the kids use their shirts as a napkin half the time!
That looks like it would really get stains out!
I always struggle with stains and avoiding shrinking clothes
what works for me to remove stains, all I do is put some dish soap on the stain, scrub with a small nail brush that I have for laundry, then I just put the clothing item in the laundry and wash like normal, stains come off every time 🙂
I would love to win!
I like the additional brush
Grass stains are the toughest!
well for me it’s wine stains! LOL! For my kids grass stains are a pain!
Cant wait to read about your experience with tide & wine stains! LOL
My toughest stains to get out is baking grease and red wine. I have tried everything but, still have a difficult time.
The brush in the cap is genius!
The worse stain for me is mustard!
Grass stains are horribly hard to get out.
I have 5 boys. Mud, blood and food stains (generally all mixed together) are a daily concern!
Tide is a brand I have come to love and trust for all the worst stains like grass,mustard & even
red wine…ooops… how did that get on there?It will be exciting to try their new scrubbing lid!
Grass stains are a big issue in our household as my two little and one big guy love to get dirty outside. Love my Tide for getting them out.
Tide is a tradition in my family because it works every time.
The lid with the tiny bristles sounds very handy. It bothers me when I get stain remover on my hands from rubbing the liquid into the stain so this lid appeals to me.
The hardest stains are grease from cooking. I love Tide.
I am a lifelong Tide user…don’t take my Tide!
I love Tide, its the only detergent we use. We deal with a lot of hubby’s grease stains.
The brush in the cap is awesome!
I love Tide , its my go to laundry Detergent , its great on all stains 🙂 i love that cover great for scrubbing hose pesky dirty white socks , yes mom always made me scrub my socks lol OCD thing 🙂
This would be fantastic – we do a LOT of laundry around here!
We love to use Tide and it’s great to know that they have this product!
Grease stains and berry stains are tough to remove! I can’t believe how well that stain was removed
I love Tide!
It would be great to win a P&G Fabric Care Gift Basket.
I use Tide when i wash my clothes
but i haven’t tried the Tide Ultra Stain Release yet.
Thank you for having this giveaway.
Wow, it looks pretty cool.
Grease stains are a battle in our house and I find them to be the worst to get out.
love tide and its the only soap i use as my son is a stain magnet.
I always have a hard time getting stains out, especially grease stains from cooking, they are the worse!!
i find grass stains the worst to get out!
I’d love to try this.
We love Tide, been using Tide products for years!
Tide is my go to detergent!
MY superstore had some on sale for under $8 PLUS I had a coupon from the newspaper flyers PLUS I think it was also on one of the savings apps (checkout51 I think it was) so, yeah, great deals on Tide, esp as it does work better then most others
I love the bristles on the lid. I think it will really work.
I’m a big fan of Tide….I love that it leaves our clothes smelling and looking so nice.
I love Tide! We use it all of the time.
oil splatter stains are a hard one to get clean, most times I forget to pre treat before washing
When I saw that stained shirt I doubted that you would get it all out. I am impressed that you could. Back a few years ago I got beet juice on a shirt and ended up throwing it out after trying so many things on it. Too bad this wasn’t around then or that I had kept the shirt so I could try it with Tide Ultra Stain Release.
I’ve heard good things about this product. I’d like to give it a go on my son’s greased up clothes. (mechanical) 😉
I’ve always loved Tide! The worst stains are oil and grease stains but Tide products are pretty good at clearing these up!
Tide has been a staple in my home growing up and now in my own home as an adult for as long as I can recall! I know I can always trust the quality of Tide!
Love the lid very cool
With a toddler and a new baby, we could definitely use some help in the stain department.
I appreciate anything that helps me with my laundry..Tide to the rescue!
I love using Tide! For me I always have a hard time getting red wine stains out of clothes
Tide is my go to detergent
what a useful prize. I’m always fighting stains around here with 2 boys.
Can’t wait to try this product out. I like the scrub brush on the cap.
Thanks so much for the chance.
I am so impressed that the jam came out. My daughter needs this soap in her life. She’s 2 though so I’ll probably still have to do her laundry.
We love using Tide in our home. I think greasy food stains are so hard to get out, but Tide gets the job done.
We have always used Tide. My mom did and so do I because it works so well getting out stains.
Love that you share your experiences of testing the product with us.
Love Tide and use it all the time. The new cap is very useful and innovative.
I’ve been using Tide for as long as I’ve been buying my own laundry supplies!
Something we can all relate to!!! Especially with kids. Stains are a regular part of my life!!!!
Hate getting food stains out of my shirts , oil just spreads instead of leaving.
I love the scrub attachment on the container. It really works for me on grass stains – which there are a lot of around here!
i have a hard time with stains on my nice white t shirts!!
Stains are never fun to remove. I would love to try this package.
The brush seems really awesome. It would really be helpful.
Red sauce and oily stains are the worse!
Thanks for the giveaway! I found Tide to be the best at getting our stains out. My toughest stains are coffee stains.
We have lots of juice stains
Being a mom and wife of a heavy duty mechanic who works on the farm, TIDE is my go to. Stains are daily and Tide is always to my rescue. Thanks for an awesome giveaway. 😀
I hate grass stains! Thanks for the chance!
I am interested to see on how it would hold up against pasta sauce.
This seems like a life saver! The built in bristles seems so easy to use!
Wow! Figured that would be a case for the ol’ double or triple wash, but no!
I love the scrub brush! Would come in handy with some of the messes my two little ones get into!
The lid on this is a great idea, i would like to try this!
What a smart idea with the lid scrubber! Why wasn’t that around sooner…lol. My mother always used did and probably still does.
Great product!
I’ll keep an eye out for this bottle wiht the brush on it! What a great idea.
I need to use Tide because my husband gets a total mess at work. How does he do it????
The hardest stains I have are oil stains and red wine stains. I love Tide…it usually does a great job.
I love the scrubby lid, how convenient. My biggest pain in the butt stains and are oil or grease!
Tide is the product I use. Will have to look out for the special scrub cap.
Cheers.
I am surprised it actually came out as clean as it did for you. Tide was a staple laundry soap for many homes years back and it is still kicking and cleaning .
Love that scrubby thing on top…we have problems with mud, grease and grass being out in the country. I love Tide.
I love using Tide as a pre-treatment for greasy stains!
Tomato sauce or pizza sauce are my worst enemy, I should give this a try
Our main stains are paint and markers.
I don’t have young children at home any more so we don’t get too much stains, but I will admit I have a habit of also feeding my clothes when I eat so this would be helpful when I’m doing my laundry.
the grass stains I hard to get out and only Tide i find can get rid of them..Tide is great for those hard to get rid of stains. I like the scrubing lid too.thanks
My kids always get a lot of stains especially from food!
all we use is tide
As a single working Mama of 3 – working 2 jobs – Laundry is a daily battle and I am looking forward to trying Tide to WIN THE BATTLE!!
Love tie products ! thanks for the chance
Tide works so well!
