I discovered a strange stain on my favorite shirt, and I'm not sure what caused it. Which Tide detergent is best for unidentified stains?

Tide provides several options for effectively removing unidentified stains from your favorite shirt:

• Tide Original or Tide Clean Breeze are all-purpose detergents that effectively remove common stains such as food, grease, and dirt. These are good starting points for dealing with mild or recent stains that you're not sure about.

• If the stains are tougher or have lingering odors, try Tide Plus Downy Febreze, which combines stain-fighting power with odor control and fabric-softening properties. This formula is effective against stains such as sweat and food spills.

• Tide PODS with Oxy are pre-measured laundry pacs containing oxygen-based stain removers that are ideal for stubborn stains, particularly those of unknown origin. These are effective against a variety of stains, including protein-based ones such as blood and grass.

• For targeted pre-treatment of specific stain areas, the Tide Stain Eraser Pen is a handy option that can be used safely on a variety of stains without damaging the fabric.
