Powerful cleaning with no irritation.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Having sensitive skin means having to watch the ingredients of anything that touches it, so laundry products need very close scrutiny.  Most have artificial dyes and fragrances that can aggravate existing conditions like eczema and psoriasis and cause irritation in otherwise clear skin.  I often find those ingredients give me an itchy rash, and I certainly don't want to subject my family to such discomfort.  But I still need a detergent that can get out the tough stains and funky smells.  That's why I am delighted to have discovered Tide Plus Downy Free! I have used Tide Pods and other Tide products in the past, so I knew they were superior in terms of cleaning and caring for clothing, but the irritation made me look for more natural alternatives.  Unfortunately, while those products didn't bother my skin, they just didn't clean as well.  I've been using Tide Plus Downy Free for several weeks now, and it has the same Tide power I remember.  It cleans our clothes gently, but still gets out tough stains like chocolate ice cream.  There's no need for a separate fabric softener because the Downy is already there, which is convenient and economical.  It conditions our clothes and leaves them nice and soft, which is especially important for times I choose to hang laundry to dry rather than using the dryer.   There's virtually no scent at all in this detergent.  I do miss that fresh laundry smell, but I love the safety and gentleness of this product even more.  Tide Plus Downy Free has everything I want in a laundry product and nothing I don't!

Really works Great especially for sensitive skin

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I got the Tide Plus Downy Free Liquid and I have to say it works great . With a family of 6, we do a lot of laundry. I've always trusted Tide and Downy and was so happy to not only see them combined in Tide Plus Downy Free but having them in a perfume and dye free option. Because I use to have to buy two separate laundry detergents one for there clothes and one for everybody else's so this will definitely save me money only having to buy on that works for all of us and Tide Plus Downy Free worked wonderfully at removing tough stains and odors from my three boys and my teenagers clothing. It left no overwhelming fragrance in their clothes, which my all my son especially appreciated especially since they all have eczema and a lot of Detergents Irritate their skin and makes them itch because their skin is so extra sensitive . They actually noticed a difference since we've switched . I'd would really recommend this detergent to anyone, but if you have sensitive skin or eczema, it would definitely be worth trying and switching .

Miss the old scent

My family has used Tide for years. We loved the Touch of Downy April Fresh smell. It was light and pleasant, and everyone liked it. Now the new scent is horrible. Unfortunately, we have stopped buying it because it caused headaches and breathing problems. Really miss the old Tide we were used to. Please bring back the old scent!!

great for towels and boys!

I've been using Tide for 39 years. It was my mother's (of 14, 8 boys) brand and now my daughter and daughter-in-law are on the Tide train because they want their laundry to look and smell like mine. I can't decide which Tide to buy so I keep mutiple kinds always making sure one is a liquid so I can dose my grandsons' bad stains as they go into the washer. The liquid with Downy is fabulous for towels as it doesn't interfere with their absorbency and allows them the fluffy softness of a Downy rinse.

It's got to be Tide

Tide is the favorite at my house. Several years ago, I bought another product on sale and my husband knew immediately. He said his clothes did not smell clean enough. I had to agree that the wash seemed, well, unwashed. I love Tide and Downy and having the two products together is a match made in wash day heaven. I love all of the scents but the traditional April Fresh is my favorite. Even the dirty laundry smells fresh at my house.

bring back simple pleasures

the vanilla & lavender was the best. the lavender by itself doesn't smell half as good. when using vanilla & lavender simple pleasures my migraines occurrences slowed down. now with the lavender only my migraines are coming back more often. downy also switched to lavender only and it smells just as bad. please bring simple pleasures back. vanilla & lavender. thank you

No left behind residue

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I really was impressed with the cleaning power and results. My laundry was bright, clean and soft. Also it has a nice soft scent to it. This product did not leave behind any residue either whereas I've had other pods do in past. Like and will be a staple in my home.

Tide is the BEST!!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My clothes came out smelling clean and fresh. Very nice and gentle, even for sensitive skin. Love the blend of downy free and tide free. Clothes come out smelling clean and wrinkle free. I have used Tide over 30 years.

Smells terrible

I knew they changed the scent and I did not like the new scent and I had quit buying it Recently I was cleaning out my Dads home and came across an old bottle in the cupboard. Wow what a find, this bottle smelled wonderful even after several years, I used the detergent and my clothes smelled as great as I remembered from years ago. Sure wish they would bring back the old April fresh Scent. It is so frustrating when you are used to using a product for years and they go and change it. Do they even realize how many customers they have alienated when they do this cost-cutting crap?

Great at cleaning but scent does not last

This detergent does an excellent job at cleaning clothes. It is one of the few detergents that i've tried that removes stain with little work from me. The scent from the bottle and while washing is so lovely. But once I put the clothes in the dryer or leave them to hang dry, the scent is gone. I know the cleaning aspect is what's important from a detergent. But the scent is really important to me as well. I really wish that the scent would stay even a little on my clothes because it truly is a lovely scent.

reply from The Tide Team

While we're glad to hear that you're enjoying a great clean with Tide, Elizabeth, we're sorry that the scent wasn't as long-lasting as you would have liked. In April 2019, we actually made improvements to this scent in order to maintain and enhance the freshness experience. Fragrance may fade if the container has been opened for a long time, so we recommend making sure you're using this product within a year. We do value feedback such as this, and we'll be sure to pass your comments along to the rest of our team. Your satisfaction means the world to us, so please feel free to give us a call at (800) 879-8433. We'd be happy to look into this further for you and see how we can best help!
