Q: With regard to using 1 or 2 pods/load, please provide specific info on what constitutes a "large" load in terms of volume, weight, etc. Otherwise, it's both subjective and varies by washer capacities.

submitted by Phaux - 3 years ago
  • A: Actually check with the BEST Local Appliance repair plce with High Ratings for Their own Actual Repairman's Recommendation as to what they might Best know for whatever Make/ Model Of Washer You have .

    submitted byNB1961 - 2 years ago
  • A: This is an excellent question. Washing machines have different capacities that may affect load sizes. We recommend you first check the manual for your machine. In the meantime, when a washing machine drum is around half full, you have a medium or regular wash load. For a large load, the machine will be about three quarters of the way full and for an extra large load, fill the drum. But, be careful not to overload your machine, since clothes need to be able to move freely. If you have other questions, or if we can help further, please give us a call at (800) 879-8433.

They may look different, but all of the ingredients and formulary is exactly as it once was.

Q: Does this product contain 1,4 dioxane- a known carcinogen? Are there any other carcinogens in this product? Which ingredients may cause harm to humans, waterways, marine life?

submitted by Kalikara - 1 year ago
  • A: [10:09 AM] West, Matthew Carcinogen is not intentionally added ingredient in any of P&G’s products. Because arsenic is in the naturally occurring in the environment, arsenic is found in trace amounts widely across many products such as food and cleaning products. The results shared by CR are very low, safe levels, well below any established safety limits for a cleaning product.

Q: Are there any polycarboxylates in this product? If so, are yours non-biodegradable? Damaging to the environment? Contributing to algae blooms, low oxygen, damage to marine life?

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.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I tried using free and clear pods for my family because the store i go to was out of my usual detergent. My son broke out head to toe in massive hives. Ears and all. I ended up having to give him allergy medicine and bring him to urgent care because the hives just kept getting worse and his feet were completely swollen. For something that is supposed to be hypoallergenic I was extremely disappointed and cannot believe the reaction it had on my babys skin. If you or a family member is sensitive, do not use this detergent or you might end up at urgent care too.

We're so sorry to hear this. After the extensive health and safety tests that these PODS™ have undergone, this definitely isn't something we'd expect. The well-being of our Tide family is extremely important to us, so we hope your son is feeling better now. If you haven't, we recommend to discontinue using these PODS immediately. So our Safety Team can learn more and make sure your son is ok, could you please give us a call? You can reach us at (800) 879-8433. We hope to hear from you soon.

The Best Laundry Detergent I Have Ever Used

5 out of 5 stars
thatssewjaclyn_5318 - 1 month ago
originally posted on influenster.com
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.

My youngest kiddo has sensitive skin and this is the only detergent we use. There is no scent, and clothes come out smelling clean but scent free. The price is comparable to the other brands out there and you can usually find a coupon depending on the retailer.

These ruined my clothes…sticky residue like hard dry superglue on some of my stuff. Never using pods again, sticking to liquid
1 reply from Tide team - 2 months ago
We're so very sorry to hear about this. Our pods are water-soluble, and if not enough water comes into contact with these pods, this can happen. If you aren't doing so already, put the pod in before your fabrics, and ensure your load size isn't too large, and that there are not many absorbent items in your load. We'd love to share some tips and tricks on how to remove the residue. Please call us at (800) 879-8433.

I have always used liquid detergent and with the cost of it now a days I have always used and different brand. I was shopping recently and thought I would try them since they were on sale. I have a washer without the agitator. I used the recommended amount per wash and seriously my clothes still felt dirty. I will stick to the cheaper brands and liquid detergent its just not worth the money. I want to feel clean.

We're sorry to hear this, Mary, and want to assure you that we have many quality checks to ensure your laundry comes out fresh and clean. For the best results, make sure to use the hottest water safe for your fabric, as well as not overload your washing machine and pre-treat any noticeable stains beforehand. We'd like to help you get the most from your Tide, so when you have a minute, please get in touch with us at (800) 879-8433.

effective yet mild for sensitive skin

5 out of 5 stars
jooooordan_8096 - 2 months ago

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.
