Shout Wipe & Go Instant Stain Remover - About.com Laundry Product Review

Shout Wipe & Go stain remover wipes are an effective and convenient product for stain removal. Most effective on food and beverage stains, they can be used safely on most types of fabric.

For those spills and stains that happen at the most inopportune times and places, Shout Wipe & Go may solve your problem. These are individually-wrapped moist wipes that will conveniently fit in your purse, desk drawer, luggage or car.

Package directions are to remove any excess stain matter. (I suggest using a dull knife or credit card edge to remove excess stain. Try your best not to rub the stain deeper into the fabric.) Then working from the outside of the stain toward the center, blot or wipe away the stain. Additional tips are included for getting the best results.

According to the package, Shout Wipe & Go is safe for all colorfast washable and dry cleanable fabrics. For delicate fabrics like silk or rayon, test first on a hidden area before using on a visible surface.

I gave the wipes a try on a couple of stains - mud and coffee - on a cotton shirt. Both stains were fresh and Shout Wipe & Go removed both stains. You will have a damp spot where the stain once was but it will dry quickly. To speed the process, blot the cleaned area with a white paper napkin or paper towel.

While the packaging does not list ingredients, I did a bit of digging and found the ingredient list on the manufacturer's - SC Johnson - website. The textured rayon cloth is the treated with:

Water

Ethoxylated Alcohol

Sodium Lauryl Sulfate

Preservative to prevent bacterial growth

Citric Acid
