Great clean with no irritants

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Tide plus Downey free liquid has all the great cleaning power I've come to expect from Tide without any irritants. So great not to have anything making my sensitive skin itch. Just clean soft clothes!

Bring back S.P. Lavender & Vanilla!

I love lavender, but this does not have the comforting scent that Simple Pleasures had. Please bring back Simple Pleasures Lavender & Vanilla!!! I have been hunting all over for it. I use Tide Free on microfibers, because fabric softner ruins them. I use Total Care, for the supposed benefits, but do not like the scent at all, so I mix in the Lavender & Vanilla. I also do not like other florals or mountain scents. I will have to find a different brand, after using Tide forever, unless you bring it back.

Great Tide Clean for Sensitive Skin

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Tide Plus Downy Free for sensitive skin is free of dyes and perfumes and is recognized by the National Eczema Association and the National Psoriasis Foundation (NPF). That endorsement alone was enough for me to want to try it, though I was curious how a product with Downy in it could be scent free. I was presently surprised, the product is virtually scent free. Clothes come out of the laundry smelling clean and fresh, but without the strong scent I normally associate with Downy. Our entire family has sensitive skin and my daughter has eczema so it is important that our laundry detergent is gentle and scent free. Tide Plus Downy Free has been tested with laundry for our entire family and the verdict is it lives up to it's promises. Great clean, soft clothes and no skin irritation. And my husband hates strong scents so he is very pleased that his laundry is clean but scent free. We've used it in hot, warm and cold water loads in our HE washer and it cleans well in all water temperatures. If your family has skin and/or scent sensitivities, I highly recommend Tide Plus Downy Free.

Perfect for my baby's clothes

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This Tide Free and Clear detergent with Downy is perfect for washing all of my baby's new clothes. I love that it doesn't have any dyes or scents that could irritate her delicate skin. The clothes still come out smelling clean and the Downy helps keep them soft!

Cleans great

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Easy to use. Works great with my washing machine. Great for my sensitive skin and it cleans my clothes effortless. Doesn't leave stuff behind from washing. I've used for a couple of weeks now and I can't say how much more I love this product.

Great

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This detergent has a very nice smell and is very effective. I received the pods and it is very easy to use and very effective. It worked really well on my smelly clothes that had a lot of sweat on it. The odor was controlled very well

Liquid Tide with scent of Downy

I have been a faithful user for years. I came to this site after googling to see if there had been a recent formula change. I can't bear the new smell. I have always given my clothes an extra rinse but even with that had to get out of bed and change my nightgown because I could not tolerate the smell. I try to keep a quantity on hand and i guess this was the first load I did with the new product. Really don't know what to do, I loved the old Tide.

A touch of Downy no more. Miss the old scent.

I was floored (like, literally almost fell over from the scent) when the new formula was introduced. Before the change, i had found the perfect laundry detergent--with just a touch of scent. Because it changed, I started using a competitor's unscented brand. I have been trying the separate april fresh scent beads, but they are also too strong, and simply not the same scent. The old Tide with Downy had a very nice scent, and the new version isn't a stronger version of it... it seems totally different and yucky. I still had half a bottle left of the old scent that I have been saving, and on a whim I decided to use some on my laundry detergent recently. It reminded me of how wonderful the old scent was, and how disappointed I am about the change. I have a family of 5 plus a dog, so we do a LOT of laundry. Please find a way to bring back the old product! If people want strong smelling laundry, they should be advised on the label that is it stronger. It is no longer a "touch of downy". The new version announces to everyone who gets close to me that I perfumed up my clothes with heavy detergents. Not the message I want to send.

Scent change. It's so strong!!

This has been the ONLY detergent I've been buying for as long as I can remember. I'm a cancer patient with incredibly sensitive skin, whatever change you made gives me a headache because the smell is so strong and caused my skin to break out. Anytime things change you should be required to put it on the bottle!! I have enough to worry about in my life, now I have to deal with this because of an unnecessary formula change! You lost me as a very long time customer…

Fresh

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Downy never disappoints. I love the smell. Leaves the clothes smelling very fresh. The combo with the tide which also works great simplifies things so you don't have to use separate fabric softner. I would def reccomend.
