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.

Deal of the decade

This product can clean laundry that you thought would probably throw away because it is so bad. I just popped a couple pods in the washer, added the laundry and it was unbelievable, Tide pods actually saved my son's favorite jeans . I thought it would be impossible, but Thanks to Tides superior ingredients Kevin has his favorite jeans back . That's a money saver 👍 I didn't have to buy new jeans . I bought 2 boxes , I will have the cleanest clothes around. 🤩

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.

Makes laundry much easier

Make doing laundry much easier. Mixture of tide and additives get almost all stains out. Spray pretreatment on bad spots and these pods get almost every stain out. Tomato sauce, chocolate, wine, oil, even blood stains wash out. I pretreat large stains and old stains. All the laundry comes out cleaner. Better than when I add the same additives myself. Not sure how they do it but Tide pods are definitely worth the money.

Disappointed with tide pids

I purchased these tide pods expecting them to clean my laundry well. I was extremely disappointed when after using them with a deep water double rinse cycle there was white streaking on my clothes. I had to soak and rewash ( again with deep water and double rinse setting) to get it out of my clothing. I even disolved one in a jar and tried it with the same result. The pod itself did not fully dissolve even after sitting in water and getting shaken up in the jar before adding it to the laundry. I will never buy this product again.

Thank you for sharing your experience with us. Our products are put through many quality checks to provide you with the best laundry clean, and we're sorry to hear that we missed the mark. Your Tide PODS™ not fully dissolving may be a result of overloading your washer. We recommend adding the pods to the back of the washer before any clothes, and not overloading your washer to ensure the pods have enough room to move around and dissolve.The best way to restore your clothes, is to soak them overnight in warm water, and then re-wash your clothes with no detergent. We want take the opportunity to learn more about your experience, and would appreciate you giving us a call at (800) 879-8433.

Favorite, reliable brand

Tide is my favorite, reliable brand for laundry pods. Its pods don’t leave sticky residues on clothes, unlike other brands I have tried where I saometimes have to rinse the clothes again just to remove sticky pod residues. Buying the Tide pods from Sam’s also saves me money as they are usually cheaper at Sam’s than buying from other stores.

So disappointed

I have been using Tide all my adult life. My family has always loved the smell of our clothes. The last few years the smell has changed. We are all changing our detergent. The smell is offensive. I have tried pods and other tide sense and they are all bad. Missing my tide. Susan Gardner

Our go to detergent

Best detergent out there. We have tried many brands, but this is always our go to. Sams clubs brand is close to this, and we will buy either if one or the other is on sale. We have really preferred the Pods because we can control how much we use, and the kids are not wasting so much.

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!
