Q: Your Tide Free and Clear HE says it is now 84 fl. oz. and it does 64 loads. I used to purchase 92 fl. oz. and it also said 64 poads. Is the product now somehow stronger?

submitted by SJ - 1 year ago
  • A: With all of our liquid detergents, there was a change to the formula to make it more concentrated. This means that while there are fewer liquid oz in the package, you will still get the same number of cleaning loads.

    submitted byTide - 1 year ago
    Brand expert
  • A: While the volume of the Tide Free and Clear HE detergent has been reduced from 92 fl. oz. to 84 fl. oz., the formula has been updated to maintain the same cleaning power per load. This means the detergent is more concentrated, so you’ll need less liquid per load to achieve the same level of cleaning as before. Essentially, the product is stronger and more efficient, allowing you to still get 64 loads from the smaller volume

    submitted byRobert - 7 months ago
  • A: Tide's answer about the number of loads for the 84 oz. container is completely misleading. See details. Line 5 of measuring cup for full load = 4 oz. That's 21 loads/ 84 oz. container.

    submitted bysam34 - 11 months ago

Q: Is the 156 fluid ounces HE also? it is not on the top of the container did they just forget to put it there. I would like to know if it is also High Efficiency the 156 fluid ounce?

submitted by RiRi001 - 5 years ago
  • A: The Tide Free and Gentle HE will have an HE logo or symbol on the front of the package. This particular listing is for the HE Free and Gentle. If you have any questions please call us at (800) 879-8433.

  • A: I bought the 154 oz. It came with the HE logo on the bottle.

    submitted byKelen - 5 years ago
  • A: I called my local store and asked them to verify whether the 154 oz version (DPCI: 003-08-0159) is in fact High Efficiency (HE). They verified that it is HE. The person I spoke with said the HE logo is on the bottle — admittedly, I haven't yet purchased so I'm verifying this second hand.

    submitted byNick - 5 years ago

Q: Can I use high efficiency detergent in a regular washing machine?

submitted by hlhaze - 8 years ago
  • A: I don't see why not. It is gentle on your clothes, let alone a machine.

    submitted bychinpoko - 8 years ago
  • A: Yes. You can use HE detergent in a regular washing machine. You might notice fewer suds, but your clothes will still come out fresh and clean!

Q: Is this for sweaters or delicate clothes that say gentle wash?

Q: Is this free of phosphates and chlorine?

submitted by pixiedust - 5 months ago
  • A: All of our laundry detergents around the world are phosphate free and have been since January 2016. It also does not contain chlorine, but you should always review the ingredients that you can find under "label info" in the listing.

Q: What is the concentration for this detergent? We have an HE washer that auto-dispenses, so would need to know whether this is 2x, 3x, 4x, 5x or 6x. Thank you.

submitted by MC - 6 months ago
  • A: We recommend dosing to bar 5 for a full load in an HE machine to get the best-in-class laundry experience that Tide strives to deliver.

This product is good for people who have easily irritable skin from harsher detergents. We made the switch to this after some minor skin issues with previous detergents and have since not had any new problems arise. The slight price increase is worth having a safer option for washing clothes!

I was looking for a baby friendly detergent for my newborn and after reading reviews, I found Tide Free & Gentle. It is free of dyes and perfumes, making it a great option for babies with sensitive skin. The only downside is that it's not very effective on tough stains. Overall, it's a good choice.

The Best Laundry Detergent I Have Ever Used

thatssewjaclyn_5318 - 1 month ago

Tide Free and Gentle Liquid Laundry Detergent is by far the best laundry detergent that I have ever used. I have super sensitive skin and I use this detergent for everything. From clothes, to towels, to dog beds, all of them get washed in this detergent. The packaging makes it easy to measure and cost is appropriate for the amount of loads you can wash. The laundry always comes out clean and the scent is not overwhelming.

I used to love tide with bleach alternative, but since last year it just makes me itch so badly I had to change brands. I love the way it cleans, but they did something to the formula to cause an allergic reaction. Very upset with this formula change.

Your safety is important to us, so we recommend discontinuing use for now, and in the meantime, we'd love to learn more to be able to help you find the right product for you.

Have used this for years but recently something has changed in the formula and both scent and performance are poor. What is the rationale behind change? Particularly in light of the fact this is theoretically hypoallergenic. Moving away to something else.

Thank you for sharing with us. Our team is continously researching, and performing quality tests on our Tide to ensure they arrive to you in the perfect condition. We recently upgraded our Tide Free & Gentle to improve cleaning and product aesthetics by rebalancing ingredients to provide better stain removal, less yellow product off-color, and better product clarity.

effective yet mild for sensitive skin

5 out of 5 stars
jooooordan_8096 - 2 months ago
originally posted on influenster.com
Tide Free & Gentle Liquid Laundry Detergent is a solid choice if you need something effective yet mild for sensitive skin. It’s dye- and fragrance-free, which makes it a good option for people who react to heavily scented detergents or have skin that gets irritated easily. Even though it’s formulated without added perfumes or dyes, it still gets clothes thoroughly clean, tackling everyday dirt, sweat, and stains without being harsh on fabrics. One of the best things about this detergent is that it’s gentle enough for babies and those with eczema, but it still has the cleaning power of regular Tide. It works well in both high-efficiency (HE) and standard washers, and it rinses out completely, so there’s no soapy residue left behind. If you’ve ever used a “gentle” detergent that didn’t quite get the job done, this one might surprise you—it’s strong enough to handle heavily soiled clothes while still being dermatologist-recommended. It’s a great option for anyone who wants a hypoallergenic detergent without sacrificing performance. Whether you’re dealing with sensitive skin, allergies, or just want a no-frills, scent-free option, Tide Free & Gentle gets the job done without irritation.
