Great Product.

I always try to use the Free & Gentle pods as they are great for sensitive skin, plus there is no scent to them. Sometimes the scented pods/ powders are a little overwhelming.

Great product - large size

I have used this product for several years and it has never failed to leave my laundry clean with no odors. I like that it has no fragrance. Sam's offers the 152 pac container, which is larger than I can buy anywhere else. I will continue to buy this product in the future.

Saves time and money!

Three weeks into using Tide Pods. They do a good job getting clothes clean. Premeasured pods $ave time and money....no more over applying cleaning liquids, using less product. NOTE: I am watching to see if the pod linings will stick to each other from ambient moisture. No sticking so far.

You need others to tell you about detergent?

It's detergent not a magic bean bag. Does the job it's supposed to do, nothing more, nothing less.

Spots on clothes that won't come out.

Pods have left a stain that you can't get rid of on my clothes. Talked to P&G and they told me to put it on the bottom of my washer. Told her I have a front loader. Sorry I can't help you but I will send you some coupons. Coupons were for 1.00 off the next purchase.

That&#39;s a disappointing thing to find, BGHC, and we&#39;re sorry you&#39;ve experienced stains left on your clothes, BGHC. Tide PODS™ are designed to dissolve completely, and our products go through many quality checks to ensure reliable performance. To help prevent this from happening in the future, we recommend always adding the PODS™ to the drum before any laundry, and ensuring there’s enough water circulating and room in the load for them to move freely. It&#39;s also a good idea to use a cycle that lasts more than 30 minutes. As well, any residue should come out and not leave any permanent stains when appropriate steps are taken. We always want you to have the best wash experience using Tide, and our team is standing by if you need assistance. You can give us a call at 1-800-879-8433 from 9AM -- 6PM EST Monday–Friday, and we&#39;ll be happy to help.<br /><br />

Old potentially expired product

I love Tide pods. However, i just opened this container of pods and they’re very dark and discolored not like a new pods which are a clear pale yellow. Have they been sitting in the sun? Did they get overheated? I don’t know if I dare to use them.

Doesn’t get rid of smells or stains hardly at all. Especially compared to the scented tide pods. My 2 year old daughter also developed a rash after I washed her laundry once using the free/gentle pods. shes never broke out with the scented so we switched back to the spring meadow tide pods
