Great for sensitive skin

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My sister recommended this detergent a while back since we both commonly get eczema with certain liquids that triggers our skin. I was amazed, it actually works. I would definitely recommend specially if you have kiddos it’s a gentle tide unlike others can irritate my skin.

The clean you need that’s gentle on your skin

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love scents but when it comes to laundry I tend to become more neutral…I love that I can clean my clothes with a quality product like tide while being able to keep it gentle on my kids skin and even my own. It leaves my my laundry soft that I don’t mind wrapping myself in just a blanket when clothes need washing HA! This is the detergent you need with zero worries of allergies with the freshness and cleanliness your laundry and YOU deserve!

No scent and light

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] There’s no fragrance to this product and I was worried at first since most of my laundry are sweaty workout clothes. It cleans well but I kind of miss having a fresh clean scent. A little goes a long way.

Benzisothiazolinone is back = allergic reaction

This detergent worked for me for years after our past one caused hives. Now they re-added Benzisothiazolinone, and I break out in hives wherever I sweat into my clothes that have been washed with this detergent. It's very frustrating for a "free and gentle" detergent to contain this toxic chemical preservative... I will not be buying it anymore.

Great!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have always.used tide. But i had never tried the free and gentle. I love how clean it gets your clothes. Has no scent. Its great for your whites, lingerie and panties. Leaves your clothes feeling clean and fresh! I would recommend to someone that doesn't want any scent but very clean clothes. Free for review @influenster @tide #tidefreeandgentle

All I use

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This detergent is my favorite and I have repurchased it multiple times already. I love that it’s cleaner than other ones out there so I feel safer using this for my clothes that are so close to my body daily. Tide always keeps my clothes looking bright and beautiful .

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.

Great product coming from someone with sensitive skin !

Free and gentle liquid laundry detergent by tide Is my go to detergent for laundry for my entire family . It takes off tough stains from my kids clothes and has a soft not strong and sweet like other detergents that causes my kids skin to break out. The bottle is a decent price and tons of loads done from one bloodletting.

Disappointed

My family has a sensitivity to fragrance, so I started using the 2X Ultra Tide Free several months ago, with satisfactory results. However, it is no longer on the shelves and now Tide Free & Gentle is the only fragrance free Tide product available at the store. I started noticing over the next few weeks that it does not seem to have the cleaning power of the previous product. I noticed that grease spots were not releasing and both whites and colors were not getting as clean as that to which I had become accustomed. I am disappointed that such a great product as the 2X Ultra Tide Free is no longer available, and view the replacement as a non-effective substitute for day to day laundry requirements.

I am sorry you have noticed a difference in cleaning with the Tide Free and Gentle. The product name was changed in July, 2010. However, there were no ingredient changes. You may want to pre-treat directly on the grease stains. Sometimes this type of stain may need a little more attention. I hope this information helps.

Free & Gentle is Awful!

I was raised using Tide and I have used Tide since getting married 32 years ago. A few years ago we switched to Tide Free. I recently bought Tide Free & Gentle. It is literally eating up my cotton clothes. I have NEVER had so much lint in my dryer! My clothes don't smell clean and my washer always stinks now. I will be finding a new company and product after this fiasco. PLEASE bring back Tide Free!
