Change in odor and color

I have been using Tide Free and Clear for decades. Over the past 6 months I’ve noticed an unpleasant peanut butter type odor and the color is yellow and it seems thicker. It still seems to wash OK, but the odor is very off-putting and I will probably switch brands.

Thank you for sharing your experience with us, Dr. Barb. Our products are put through many quality checks to ensure they arrive to you in the perfect condition. There has been no recent changes to our Tide Free & Gentle, and would not expect for it to have a peanut butter scent or to be more yellow. This may be a result of it being exposed to direct sunlight, and we recommend tossing it, and replacing it with a new one. We also recommend storing your detergent in a cool dry place away from direct sunlight. We'd like to learn more to see how we can help best. When you can please give us a call at (800) 879-8433. -The Tide Team

Gentle on my clothes

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Peace of mind to know this product is gentle on my clothes and is free of dyes and perfumes. I'm giving it 4 stars since I'm not sure this product makes a difference for me. I don't have particularly sensitive skin, so I could use regular detergents.

Detergent

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Just used on my laundry. Worked the same as other detergent products, just without the scented aspect. Clothes are soft. I will probably stick to the scented Tide products because I do like the smell coming out of the wash/dryer

Itching again, why do you change things?

Did the formula change? I have been using this for years, as the only detergent without synthetic dyes, SLS or sulfates, and without whatever is in HE detergents that makes me get hives. Now, every time I put on newly washed clothes, I am itching like crazy all over my body. I even went as far as to buy 3 new sets of clothes to try without washing, and I was fine.

Tide Free and Gentle

I have used Tide my entire life. In the last few years I've been unable to use many products due to migraines. I was very sad when I learned that both Bounce - fragrance free and Tide Free and Gentle now give me migraines. Tide Free didn't have this effect, but I'm unable to find it anymore. Is Tide Free and Gentle the same formulation as Tide Free? Did IT change? Or did I change? Same question for Bounce. I've used it longer than I can remember, but can no longer use it. Is it different? I can use other Free and Clear, but they give my clothes an odor. Tide clothes always feel cleaner and fresher to me. My mom complained of her washer not working. When I gave her Tide Free she realized it's not the washer, but rather the "free and clear" detergents that she used... Free and Clear detergents are NOT all equal.

Good choice

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Tide free and gentle detergents are good for sensitive skin or allergies. as it is formulated without dyes and perfumes. I have the sensitive skin so I think it is a good option for me! I have been used Tide for so many years . Especially love the free and gentle version.

Great for familys

With my first child I used dreft but hated how it made his clothes feel and it didn't remove stains, and my husband I both have extremely bad allergies so regular detergent would have us sneezing all day, so now Tide Free is the only detergent that we wash in, it removes all stains and smells from the kids clothes and doesn't make the colors of the clothing look dull.

I dig it

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I really love Tide products and this one is no different. Cleans clothes amazingly, doesn't leave a residue or make clothes feel heavy like there's detergent left behind. And it's totally not lying when it says no perfumes. It's weird to smell absolutely nothing when using washing detergents. I'm more of a smell good person so that's why I say that, as long as it doesn't smell like cleaning stuff or soapy. If you aren't into or can't tolerate perfumes.. this is perfect. I also love the fact that it's clear because I don't care what anyone says, the color stuff totally will stain clothes, so this is awesome. Thanks Influenster, I am really digging the new format for trying products!

Great!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This detergent is great for sensitive skin. My niece has sensitive skin & using this while she's been visiting has been a blessing. He clothes come out clean, and she doesn't have any issues. It's a win win!

So unhappy!!!

I have been using tide free and gentle for years until they recently added the eczema label now all it does is make my entire family itchy everywhere. They obviously changed their ingredients to a once great product to lessen value yet they sure didn’t change the price to reflect how horrible it is now!! Do NOT use under any circumstances I rather have dirty clothes!!!
