Limited value

Considering the hype, promises, visual presentation and the cost, one might expect to figure out how many pods are needed, wash their clothes once and be done. So simple, right? My experience is opposite. If I don’t catch a stain beforehand and pretreat it with a totally different product, I will have to launder the item twice, having pretreated the second time. So, it doesn’t do a great job. If it can’t get out fresh stains, I wonder just how clean the clothes are after they are washed. Any fragrances could be a cover-up.

reply from Tide

Esther, thank you so much for giving these pods a try. We're sorry that you weren't as impressed with them as we had hoped you would be. As you can imagine, some stains can be quite tough, especially if they're set in. That's why some stains need to be pre-treated, and sometimes, you may need more than just one pod per load. We'd love to talk about this with you and offer some tips and tricks on how to remove the stains and improve your future uses. We can be reached at (800) 879-8433.

Tide Pods save you valuable time

Love it when these Pods have an additional discount as everyone probably knows every little discount helps. I love Tide Pods as I hate pretreating my Husband’s clothes. With the Pods, I just drop them in prior to placing his clothes in the washer and I don’t have to waste my valuable time pretreating his clothes with some other product. Someone told me that they thought the Pods were too expensive and I told them the fact I didn’t have to pretreat was worth it to me so that didn’t make them too expensive in my mind.

# 1 for me

Tide is the only detergent I use. I’ve tried others, but stains are not completely removed. I need to be sure my detergent is going to clean my clothes the first time I wash them. I’m busy and don’t have time to verify what I I know to be true. They’re clean and ready to be put on a hanger!

Terrible scent/odor from “Spring Meadow” Tide Pods

Specifically, the “Spring Meadows” Tide Pods smelled terrible. They left my clothes smelling like Mildew, or some sort of dirt smell. Afterwards, I noticed the Pods themselves had this smell as well. Even when trying to mask the smell with Downy fabric softener, the scent was very strong and unpleasant.

Always clean

My Husband and I host families visiting Reno, through the Airbnb platform. Our space includes 2 Queen beds and a set of bunk beds. Each bed used, results in 4 loads of laundry - mattress pad, sheets, blankets, bedspread and pillow covers. Using Tide in conjunction with Lysol laundry sanitizer and bleach pods gives me the confidence that our home is clean, cozy and a place where I would want to stay. Sam’s Club pricing makes it affordable!

Chemical smell

Our laundry has a strong chemical smell after using these pods. We didn’t know what was causing the smell initially, but after rewashing our laundry with a different detergent and then using these pods later on new laundry and reading other reviews, it’s clear this is caused by the pods. We are wasting money on pods, time and money on the re-washes. We have been lifelong Tide customers, very disappointing.

Not worth it

Disappointed in the Tide Pods. Decided to give a more expensive brand a try and will not be buying them again. I have never had a pod not fully dissolve until now. Opened my washer to find a gooey mess stuck inside that I had to pull out by hand. There is also a sticky film on the inside of the door that was never there before. I love using pods and will be going back to my old brand going forward.

reply from Tide

Thank you for sharing that your Tide PODS™ didn&#39;t fully dissolve, Jamie. Our products go through many quality checks to provide you with the best laundry clean. Your Tide PODS™ not fully dissolving can be a result of overloading your washer. We recommend ensuring to following the dosing instructions, and not to overload your washer to allow enough room for the pod to move around and dissolve. The best way to remove the residue from your washer is to use a warm wet cloth to wipe away any residue. We&#39;d like to gain a better understanding of your experience, and would appreciate you giving us a call at (800) 879-8433.

Love Tide, but new scent is nauseating

I usually use the Original Scent Tide, which i love. On a whim, I got the Spring Meadow scent and was immediately blown away by the stench of what I describe smells like rancid raw oysters with undertones of sweet chemical gag. It's not my machine, as the stench came directly from the container. I've never felt literal nausea from the scent of detergent, but...yikes.

We appreciate you taking the time to share your feedback. While it's great that you're a fan of our original scent, we're sorry to hear this has been your experience with Tide PODS™ Spring Meadow. Our products always go through extensive safety and quality tests to ensure they are safe when used as directed and bring you an excellent laundry cleaning experience. We understand that this wasn't the case this time, and we'll be sure to share your comments with our team. Based on the symptoms you described, we recommend discontinuing the use of the pods if you haven't already done so. Please hold onto the product for a few weeks, in case our team needs any additional information. To remove the scent from your clothes, wash them again with the hottest water safe for the fabric, using the recommended amount of detergent.  If the items are bleach-safe, use a detergent that contains bleaching agents while washing.
