Okay, so maybe Tide-To-Go didn't save Christmas per say, but it did save me a whole lot of hassle, stress and about $17.99.
With Nick's recent surgery and the subsequent events that followed, my holiday stitching projects got pushed to the last minute and now time is of the essence to get these done by Christmas. Several days ago I began work on a piece for someone-who-shall-not-be-named, using an assortment of iron-on patterns for the design.
Long story short, I had the entire piece almost done and then decided that some of the smaller embellishment designs just weren't turning out as I'd hoped and I didn't want them on this piece after all.
Oh. But I already ironed them on! Experience has shown me that these iron-on transfers do not wash off.
Crap.
At this point I was thinking I may have to scrap the project, go buy a new piece to stitch on and start all over. What a waste of time and supplies. Not to mention at this point Christmas was only three days away. Panic!
Out of sheer desperation, and figuring it could hardly make things any worse, I decided to try the Tide-To-Go stick on the designs I wanted removed. I rubbed the crap out of them, tossed the piece in the wash and prayed to the craft gods to have mercy. Much to my surprise, my piece came out of the wash and voila...they were gone! The Tide completely erased the ironed on designs! I love you Tide-To-Go!
So that's the story of how Tide saved Christmas. Sort of. Saved me a big headache anyway. Doesn't this sound like one of those customer testimonials? I should submit this to their customer stories page. Apparently I could win big!

but why were you making something for voldemort to begin with?
Well, those dishes won't dry themselves.
Hey Niki, I work with Tide To Go... I'm so happy to hear that we helped save Christmas for you! Haha, that's great.
I wanted to give you a heads up... have you seen our commercial from last year's Super Bowl, the one with the talking stain? CBS has included it in their top 10 SB commercials of all time, and they're going to air a special on it this Saturday night. You can check out ours here: www.cbs.com/tide
If you like it, we would certainly appreciate you voting for it! :) Try to tune in and see where we place, too. I hope you don't mind me commenting on your blog, Niki. It was great hearing your story. Have a great day, and let me know if you have any questions or comments.
