Tide ToGo VS Shout Wipes

Being a professional looking "fitted male" requires that you look your best in all situations. That being said, we've all had that accidental spill or drip on a fresh shirt or pair of pants right before an important meeting or interview. So how do you deal with it in a timely fashion (no pun intended) and still show up to your appointment looking sharp? Luckily the detergent industry has come up with multiple solutions for this conundrum. Thats why this post is going to be a direct comparison of the Tide ToGo Pen vs. Shout Wipes. It's important to note that both of these solutions were created with convenience and portability in mind but were not created equally. I went out and purchased both of these to do a comparison of which is the most affective. I must say that I had high hopes for the Shout Wipes because they come in a multi-pack, are cheaper than the Tide Pen, and are small/flat enough to fit in a wallet. The pen is unfortunately a few bucks more expensive and not quite as convenient for guys, who generally don't carry purses. That being said, I did tests on multiple fabrics (shirts, pants, and ties) and found that the Tide ToGo Pen was much more efficient at removing stains. I believe this is mostly due to the fact that the pen has a built-in agitator, great for working stains out of the fibers, and allows you to control the amount of stain remover needed to accomplish the task. While the Tide Pen is a bit more cumbersome than it's rival, the Shout Wipe, it was much more affective at fulfilling it's purposes in all my tests. Keep one in your car, at home, and one at the office so you'll be prepared for any pesky stain that occurs.
