About this deal

When I pulled out the pen-style stain remover—just a wee bit bigger than the Tide pen at 5.5" with 20 millimeters in each—my mom immediately had brand recognition. “This one is famous—I think a lot of people use OxiClean for regular laundry,” she said. But moments later, she flipped sides. “Ai yo! This one doesn’t remove anything at all,” she said. “Oxi is no good.” An excellent product. They really do get stains out of your clothing. I always keep some in my bag when out, to wipe any spills up when eating or drinking.

As my mom watched me purposefully create stains, she looked doubtfully at the lineup of stain removers. Her skepticism only gave the lineup of products an even bigger challenge as we started going down the line to test them out. Things to remember Shout ® Wipes are made portable, so you can use them to remove on-the-go stains right away. Wherever stains happen, Shout® Wipes are there. Just use a Shout Wipe and go! - Disposable—just throw the used cloth away.This is another product we were disappointed in. Not only does it take longer to use because they recommend a pre-soak of 2-6 hours before washing for stain removal, but it didn’t remove stains nearly as well as other, less intensive options. It’s also a powder form which is convenient for general stain removal in your washing machine, but is less ideal for isolated stain treatment.

If fun is a factor, then Delta Carbona Push & Wipe wins by a landslide. These 1.5" circular pods contain two chambers, one to keep the 9" x 8.6" wipe dry and the other with the cleansing formula. When you’re ready to use it, push down on the perforated portion, which will reveal the wipe and release the liquid. Give it about 10 seconds and watch it grow, then remove and use.How often do you stain your clothes? If it’s often it’s most likely while you’re outside the home, and a portable stain remover pen would be best. If your stains are further and fewer between, a spray for home use will suffice.

From the dark soy sauce to the olive oils, it definitely “lightens” the stains, as my mom put it. Though her instinct was to add on, “It seems to only temporarily clean it, and when you get home you need to still work on it.” In the end, we did determine it was a solid runner-up, or as Mom put it frankly, “pretty good.” Another factor to keep in mind is the type of fabric you tend to wear. Some fabrics, like wool and cashmere, are harder to clean and need more care when removing stains. Others, like cotton, can tolerate sprays and intense wash cycles before fraying or shrinking.

How we tested these out

After this incident, I decided it was time to find a brand I could trust. And who better to test the products with me than good ol' mom—despite being a klutzy kid who left every dim sum meal with a shirt full of sauce stains, all I remember is perfectly pristine clothes thanks to a little magic touch from my mom. As with all of our tests, our criteria for judging stain removers includes some specs, objective criteria, subjective criteria and any “wow” factors we encountered. I find these so handy in case I spill something on the clothes I am wearing. I always keep them handy in my bag. We’ll be honest: We’ve been burned by stain remover pens before. They often dry up before we can ever use them and seem to smear the stain more than actually remove it. OxiClean changed our minds. While it—like most stain-fighters—struggled to remove the foundation, the little pen did a decent job removing the other stains. Even with some pretty intensive scrubbing, our tester found that it didn’t damage the fibers in the shirt at all.
