We appreciate you taking the time to share your experience and giving us the opportunity to help, Margaret! Tide products go through extensive testing to ensure they get your fabrics clean effectively, so please know that this isn&#39;t the experience we want or expect you to have. <br /><br />If the Tide PODS™ are leaving excess residue on your clothing or not dissolving correctly, this is typically due to incorrect dosing. For best results, be sure to always place the Pod in the back of the drum before the garments, and always follow the instructions listed on the container to make sure you&#39;re using the detergent as intended. <br /><br />Additionally, soaking the affected garments overnight in warm water, and then rewashing the next morning on the hottest temperature permitted by the items care label with no laundry detergent should remove any leftover residue from the PODS.<br /><br />In the meantime, we&#39;d love to learn more about your experience and help you find the right detergent for you. Please give us a call at (800) 879-8433, any time from 9:00AM-6:00PM EST Monday-Friday, so we can help!

Thank you for sharing this with us, Chuck. Our team relies heavily on consumer comments to help us create products we believe everyone will enjoy. We understand that everyone has different sensitivities to scent, and appreciate you sharing your Tide Power PODS™ Ultra Oxi scent was to strong. We'd love to learn more about your experience, and if you would like to share, please feel free to give us a call at (800) 879-8433.

We're so sorry to hear about this. Typically, the pods should be thrown in first before your fabrics, and the load shouldn't be too large or contain too many absorbent items. This means that you wouldn't deal with any residue and get a complete clean. We'd love to tell you how to remove that residue and help. Please call us at (800) 879-8433.
