Summer is here, even if the calendar doesn’t officially say so just yet. If the laughter and screams from the backyard don’t indicate it, the laundry certainly does. Oh my does the laundry hamper take on a life of it’s own in the summer months, don’t you think? Sweat, dirt, more sweat, grass stains, food, and more dirt. I think that sums it up.
Tide removes over 100 stains in one wash, so this month our challenge was a perfect one. The kids put on some nice bright white t-shirts and played soccer, jumped on the trampoline and enjoyed some colorful sports drinks in the backyard, all while using their shirts as napkins, jerseys, and sweat collectors (ew.)
The innovative Zap!Cap can be used to get detergent into stains pre-wash, and it’s something I do out of habit all the time now when I come across a stain. The cap is awesome, giving you some plastic knobby-nibs (yep, that’s my name for them) to really help work the detergent into the stain (blot it first). Tide Ultra Stain Release doubles as a pre-treater and a detergent so once the shirts were ready for the wash, I added detergent to the holder in the washing machine and set it to wash, hopeful that the stain challenge was successful once again.
There it is! Once again, Tide Ultra Stain Release with it’s innovative Zap!Cap got the grass and energy drink stains out, along with the dirt and sweat. The t-shirts were left stain free, and smelling good. Tide truly #GetsItOut!

I was so impressed that the stains came out! I need this in my life. I have a 4 year old. 😛
This challenge looks like fun and the stains definitely resemble a typical laundry day at my house. I can’t believe what a good job Tide did of getting out those stains!
I’ve never had this great of luck getting a stains out.
It was eye opening and I have since bought a bottle of tide to try it out myself!
I think its fantastic, love seeing how a product works and I’ve always trusted Tide, this makes me want to keep buying Tide like I have been for over 40 years, love the new products they are coming out with. thanks for the chance to win
Great post! I love using Tide especially on those grass stains from soccer practice 😉
It is amazing just how much of everything they can get on one shirt! I’d love to try a Zap!Cap.
Great posts. I was really impressed with how effective Tide was at stain removal and I really like the new cap design.
The challenge introduced me to a new detergent that might work better for my family. I have been using the same detergent for years, but it is probably time to change as my family has changed too.
I absolutely loved it! we are a Tide family already but it still impresses me to see Tide in action. #1
Your challenge is exactly on track with my family! Our 5 year old twins and 4 year old end up with the same stains, and I love knowing I’m already using the right product to get everything out! Thank you for the post!
I was very impressed on the Tide Challenge. Seeing what everybody was using to make stains and then to see that it was removed. Makes me want to try Tide. (switching from my regular brand)
Such a fun way to get dirty! I’m not surprised Tide has always ‘wiped out’ stains for us for years! This formula sounds even better!
Great challenge! What kid doesn’t have fun running around in the dirt in the summer!?
I thought it was pretty impressive..grass is awful to get rid of. And I love that cap!
Love Tide and it’s innovative Zap cap! Don’t trust any other laundry brand.
I was really impressed with your results – I honestly didn’t believe some of the stains would come out as easily and well as they did!
so relatable and useful
I was impressed by the results of your Tide challenge but because I have so much confidence
in this awesome product,I was not shocked.It’s a winner and will always be on hand in
our house!!Thanks though because it was fun to watch anyway.
I loved hearing about the tide challenge and look forward to trying it myself
Fantastic way to get away the worst stain.
I deal with a LOT of grass stains so I was impressed it worked.
I like that Tide doubles as a pretreatment. Yes, summer does seem to be the season for major stains but more stains often means they are having more fun.
So impressed by this challenge. The shirts ended up looking like new again.
Impressive for sure! Those stains really came out.
Cheers.
I found it very interesting and impressive that Tide could do all that.
Lookedike fun. Tide has been my detergent for years.
Looks a great challenge. A great job of getting stains out.
I think this months test looked like fun!! The results are excellent and it’s a great way to put them to the test.
Those were some serious grass stains! I’m so impressed!
This challenge was a fun one! I will definitely be using this on fudgsicle stains this summer!
Surprise of the result
I was so impressed that the stains came out
So impressed with the results! Gotta try it next time!
I really enjoyed the challenge and learned that Tide is up to any stain challenge!
It looks like quite the fun and interesting challenge. good to see that all the stains came out 🙂
I really liked the challenge. My boys manage to stain their clothing so much. It drives me crazy.
It is great how you did different stains and we could see the results
Good challenge. Will give it try with grease stains
Great challenge – grass stains are the worst especially on white soccer uniforms!
I thought it was a great challenge. With a couple of busy children I know all about tough stains and how hard they are to get out.
Having a young child, stains are a part of our life all of the time, so it was great to see all of the different stains during the stain challenge, and to see how well Tide got them out. I also love that oh so technical term “knobby-nibs” … you can never have enough knobby-nibs!
Wow! Glad these stains came out! We’ve ruined quite a few things already this year with Popsicles!
Grass and sweat stains are both so hard to get out so this is impressive!
I was super impressed with the challenge results!
I am impressed with how the Zap!Cap works to get detergent into stains pre-wash and get them out.
I loved how the stains came out and wonder what I have been doing wrong lol
Was very impressed and now would like to do my own with the grandkids. they can make lots of stains.
I need to get Tide. I have a hard time getting stains out of my clothes with the detergent I use now.
great challenge. Grass is a tough one. This is a great product
It mus have been fun for the kids to intentionally get dirty, and hard, as a parent, not to stop them. But Tide worked its magic and removed all the stains.
Wow! I’m impressed. I need tide in my life. My 5 year old boy is always full of dirt & grass stains. Tide makes it look so easy!
So great! I love it when I get Tide coupons because Tide is definitely my preferred brand 🙂
Based on your results, I think I need to try out this new Tide. I have a 4-year old and 20-month old twins. They sure know how to make a mess! 😉
I really enjoyed it and was so surprised at what tide can do
that is a great challenge, Tide definitely gets all stains out your kids proved it
I was impressed with the challenge and the results. I can’t believe that it all came out without nothing left behind.
My first thought was, what fun your kids must have had helping out with this one! I need to get some Tide for my husband’s work clothes. My daughters have an amazing penchant for getting grass stains and mud on them.
I love the Zap cap. I was impressed with how well it removed the stains.
The challenge was quite impressive; Tide is a remarkable brand!
what a blast for the kids to get as dirty as they wanted! fun! Amazing that the stains came out!
I think the Tide stain challenge was great! It looked like a lot of fun and I’m impressed that Tide removed all of the stains.
It’s interesting…will have to test it myself to believe it.
The Tide Challenge is awesome…. Tide is always my ultra-go-to laundry solutions.
Thanks for showing us the results, that Zapcap really is handy too! Why buy a separate brush?
it was great. I was really surprised on how it removed some of the stains. I thinking I should go back using tide
Wow! Grass stains are the worst! I would love the chance to try this out on even other stains, wine, food, etc.
I loved following along this month.
It really got me thinking about the stains I see most in our household.
This challenge is interesting! I thought those are tough stains and indeed they came out!
I think it is awesome! I hope it works
Looks like the kids had lots of fun with this challenge! And way to go Tide at getting those shirts clean!
I think it was awesome! I never thought there could be something enlightening about doing laundry but the Tide challenge this month sure was! Thanks for doing it!
well done! i am afraid of grass stains, but you make them look like a piece of cake with Tide!
Very neat!! So cool it came out!
My son wiped his mouth on a brand new white tee last night, I need this product! It’s good to see results before buying something.
I was impressed how well the stains came out in all the challenges. The things used for the challenge were everyday stains we all have to deal with so it was nice to see that Tide has developed a product to take care of them. I like the cap also because it would eliminate the need to look for a scrub brush when treating stains.
totally surprised. Getting stains out has never been so easy
Love this challenge! We recently bought the Tide with Zap!Cap but haven’t tried it yet. Now that I know how well it works, I may need to put it to the test. 🙂
was very impressed. Love using tide!
I love it and would love to know if it works on grease!
Stain come out easily with Tide , no more worries for me.
