Good, but offer some plastic free options

I've been using Tide for years - and it works very well. It washes my clothes clean and doesn't leave any residue behind. However, I would like the Tide detergent company to make plastic free alternatives since most plastic is not recycled. There should be a product line of dried tablet versions or dehydrated laundry sheets versions for those who want to produce less plastic waste, those who don't have access to recycling facilities, and for those who have physical disabilities.

Smells awful

I thought that it was just not getting my clothes clean for some reason, but after reading other reviews here, it appears that the problem is that the product just smells. My exercise clothes smell like they have not been washed at all. Wish I could return the three large bottles of this I bought on sale.

Ensuring your fabrics get clean and smell fresh is one of our top priorities, so we're very sorry to hear about this. When using the right amount of detergent for your load size, this isn't what we would expect. We'd like to connect about this, and tell you more about our Tide Clean Boost Fabric Rinse as it removes 3X odor and residue vs. detergent alone. Please call us at (800) 879-8433.

A new favorite

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] For many years I have used the All brand because they were the only fragrance free brand available. Now I’ve been trying the tide one for over month and I’ve been loving it. I’m almost out of it and will purchase. I think the clothes come out cleaner and brighter.

Free of dyes

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Tide free and gentle liquid laundry detergent is what it says it is. Nice to have dye free, perfume free and hypoallergenic option that still washes well. Really like how this product delivers on all levels. Clothes are clean and soft. Very satisfied.

Gentle for baby

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Imagine being a tide household & having a baby & having to purchase a notable baby detergent that everyone swears by & you’re not impressed. I was elated to discover that tide makes gentle detergent that’s safe enough to use on my toddler. It’s not scented but has a fresh laundry smell. We are now a tide household again.

changed formula/scent

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.

Pungent smell and strange yellow color

I've been using this detergent for probably like a decade now and the last container I bought suddenly has a horrible pungent smell to it and changed to an odd yellow color. Not sure if this was reformulated, but it seems like many other customers have had the same issue!

We removed some ingredients from the pod. The ingredient wasn't needed for performance, but because of this removal, it will be more yellow. Be assured that it will still have the same great performance on keeping your fabrics clean and will be just as gentle for the skin as before. It shouldn't impact its scent though, but if it's stored next to strongly scented products, the detergent can pick up the fragrance. We'd like to collect some information, so when you have a moment, please call us at (800) 879-8433.

Great if you want to stink!

If you are looking for a detergent that will just keep that stink from before you washed it this is the one. It even makes any scents from sweat more noticeable. Horrible Horrible Horrible product. I didnt realize it was this until i had changed soaps, deodorants, shampoos, even bought new clothes, then changed detergents when i realized what was causing it. STAY AWAY FROM THIS PRODUCT.!!!!

Gentle on skin.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This detergent come Dermatologist recommended. It is also free of dyes and perfumes. I love that this product is also hypoallergenic. I used this product to wash my little babies clothes. It did not irritate her skin at all. Using this product made me feel confident that she would not break out in a rash. Thank you Influenster for allowing me to test this product .

WONDERFUL PRODUCT

My husband has many allergies so I use your TIDE FREE. It is a wonderful product that cleans a well as Tide but he doesn't have any skin rashes or problems with the fragrance. It has been wonderful to have one less worry about my husband of 61 years! Thank you TIDE FREE!
