Great cleaning power

My mother always used Tide. I tried using other brands to save money, but they never got my clothes as clean and found that Tide is cheaper in the long run if you I want clean clothes. I now have a front loader and use the HE. The new actilift seems to get the stains out without pretreating the stains I normally would have pretreated, which is a plus as I often forgot about the stains to pretreat them.

Smell nauseating

I just tossed out an entire bottle of tide - 100 load bottle. The smell is so sickening it nauseated me. I tried doing a 2nd load with 1/2 as much detergent - but, that was disgusting too. If someone has a poor sense of smell, it could be tolerable, but, even my husband (poor sense of smell) commented it was very "pungent". Strongly recommend to smell before purchasing - or just don't purchase. I will never purchase a Tide product again - don't need these expensive and wasteful surprises.

New scent? Too strong!

I just did a wash with a new bottle of Tide and found it had a new scent. The new scent is overpowering and smells like chemicals. The awful scent still clings to my clothes days later, even after running them through the dryer - I will have to buy a different brand of detergent and rewash those clothes. Note: the new scent is so strong that I cannot wear my clothes to choir practice where we are prohibited from wearing strong perfumes or colognes as they are offensive to some singers. I never had any issues with the old Tide scent. Please bring back the old scent. Until then I will use another brand.

Confused

All HE Tide products should come in another color than the original bottles. I can only use the HE products and mistakenly grab the wrong bottle almost every visit to the store. I see the HE bottle, but grab the wrong one since they are stocked consistently next to the original bottles. Help P & G and Tide. Change the bottles, why don't ya?

Great products!

I have learned how to use Tide HE and Tide Stain Release products with my new Electrolux front loading washer. I am happy to report that I have no problems removing stains (together they work better than bleach!), clothes look brighter/whiter and I can use these products on any fabric. The fragrance was very strong at first but I found that by adjusting the amount of Tide HE used or adding an extra rinse, the fragrance can be minimized. I have always trusted Tide products.

I use Tide he with actilift

It is incredible,I really didn't believe that it would work until I got grease on my favorite pink hoodie I rubbed a little on the grease and it came out! I was so sure it wouldn't work but not only did it clean my clothes but my 9 year old grandson got grease on his clothes and it worked and My husband is a mechanic and it works on his clothes too.Thank you so much for this product,it has made me change from my old detergent. Thank you again. I am now walking Tide commercial and recomend it to everyone

96-load Ultra HE packaging

My new front loader has a drawer on the front that I have to pour the detergent into. I have always used the Tide with the faucet dispenser, so bought the 96-load Tide Ultra HE. Other reviews are right - using the cap to measure and pour was kind of messy - I managed to slosh the detergent all over the place. Almost immediately, I realized that I did not need the measuring cap. I hold the bottle by the handle, loosen the blue cap, hold the "faucet" over the detergent drawer, and dispense directly into the drawer, filling to the proper mark for the size load I'm doing. It allows for very precise dispensing, and the large bottle is surprisingly easy to hold, even when full. I store the bottle upright and have no dripping issues.

New bottle size

THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU. A year or so back I emailed with my disappointment on the new size of your dispenser bottle as it no longer fit in the cabinet above my washer. I had to refill another brand of detergents bottle with my Tide which was inconvient. Today as I walked down the aisle I saw the bottle seemed shorter so I bought one and IT FITS AGAIN.. This saves me from refilling bottles Thank you I appreciate less work even though I would not stop using Tide it has become more convient again.

Love this product

Let me start by sharing with you how much I pride myself in my laundry skills that I have developed over the 40+ years that I have been doing laundry. I am an extremely satisfied Tide Original consumer and have been for many years. My family has always and continues to receive compliments on how well their clothing looks and smells. Although, I needed to make some necessary adjustments to transition myself to using my HE washer. After having made the adjustments, I can tell you that I am a fan of HE washers and LOVE MY TIDE ORIGINAL SCENT HE LAUNDRY DETERGENT!!! Tide is a reliable product that I depend upon for great results. I like that I get my desired results without exception. I do have one concern to post here: Can someone share with me as to... Where I may purchase the Tide with color safe bleach HE Original? I have yet to see it in the stores and have been adding another HE colorsafe bleach into my Tide HE Detergent for my loads that need the boost. (Whites that cannot be bleached, etc) A helpful tip about front load washers: My machine just happens to have a very convenient specific cycle used to periodically clean the washer. This works great and so my washer remains fresh/ brand new. If your HE washer does not have this feature then you will simply need to run an empty cycle through with just bleach (no detergent), wipe down your machine and leave your door open to air out. If you periodically adapt this simple routine it will resolve any potential odor problems BEFORE they are able to start leaving you to enjoy your investment for years.

Too Much Scent!

Tide HE works great. I have no issues with performance. My problem is that all the way to work this morning, I was assaulted by the strong scent of Tide HE. Why do you have to make it so fragrant? Fresh is fine but I do not want Tide to be my cologne!
