Total waste of money

These things are a gemic, let's start off with the pods themselves whats all the warning labels on the back "don't get them on you"? If you're not supposed to get it on you then why put it in you clothes fibers, smart. Second these thing's are not gentle to skin there is something with tide pods all of them no matter the kind they make your clothes insanely itching and irritating. Third I've used many laundry soaps, and none, absolutely none have ruined my clothes like tide pods have. My clothes fit way tighter like they have shrunk way pass shrunken, and the fibers are getting brittle like there is a thin plastic coating over the fibers. Forth the pod liners don't fully dissolve a few times taking the laundry out of the washer the liners will be haning from the clothes, well what's left of it anyway.

Great for Sensitive Skin

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received the Tide PODS Free and Gentle Laundry Detergent as part of a sampling program and just love it. The pods are easy to use, have no scent or harsh chemicals and made my clothes very soft and fluffy. Highly recommend.

Pod melts and leaves plastic on laundry

I have used Tide liquid for years, but decided to try the pods. I've done 2 loads and both came out of the dryer with melted pod residue on the laundry. The first load was assorted dark clothes washed in cold and the second load was a set of king size sheets washed in the lowest warm setting. I put the pod in the drum before the laundry as the instructions said. The internet suggests this can be avoided by using hot water or dissolving the pod in water before adding the clothes. The internet also suggests that I may be able to get the plastic residue out by soaking the items in hot water and washing again. The pods are supposed to be more convenient. This is just more work for me and more water and energy use for a second was to remove the residue. I am very disappointed.

reply from Tide PODS® Free and Gentle Laundry Detergent

We truly appreciate you giving our Tide PODS™ a chance, and are sorry that your first experience with them didn’t go as it should. We perform many tests to ensure that they will dissolve in your washer as expected. Thanks for sharing that you put them in before the laundry, as that’s helpful to know. You could also try choosing a little longer wash cycle, or putting a slightly smaller load of laundry in next time, to help ensure that the pad gets exposed to as much water as possible during the wash cycle. We definitely have some tips to help with the residue, so please don’t pull the fabric apart, but soak the item as you mentioned, overnight in the highest temperature allowed by the fabric. The next day you can rewash it without any detergent, and that should dissolve anything left behind. We’re here if you need us, so please feel free to call our Tide Team at (800) 879-8433 for further assistance.

Amazing

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I got this product due to bad skin allergies, and it is amazing. It smells great and really gets the clothing clean. Definitely will be purchasing again and recommending to any of my friend or family with skin issues.

Works well

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I was looking for pods that work well and didn't have much scent to them. I found that with this product. I would recommend them to anyone looking for the same thing. Takes out most stains too. Very easy to use with a high efficiency washer machine.

Cleans really well

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] These Tide pods clean the clothes really well. They also smell really good. And I haven’t had any issues with them irritating my skin, sometimes that happens to me, but not with these. I also am loving the convenience of the pods.

Super gentle

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I got these and tried them, they were easy to open, great packaging. I love that they done smell and that they are super gentle. I was able to wash all of my clothes, the real test was on weather or not I’d get eczema, due to changing laundry soaps and I am happy that this didn’t hurt or bother my skin at all. My clothes were super clean, no fading and I will happily be switching my regular soap to this one. I highly recommend tide pods free and clear.

Love the NO Additives

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Tide has always been a favorite of mine. It's a very good quality product that cleans extremely well. Now that it offers the Tide Pods Free and Gentle Laundry Detergent, I love it even more. My granddaughter has very sensitive skin and we are cautious buying laundry detergent. I'm so glad Tide offers this Free and gentle option now. And it still cleans like I need it to clean.

Great product

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Tide pods free & gentle provided me with great cleaning power, with less harsh chemicals. My son tends to have sensitive skin when it comes to other brands of laundry detergent, but these pods didn't irritate his skin at all. Great stain fighting power without the itching!

Yes

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I prefer to use free and clear detergents and I am very happy with the Tide Pods free and clear detergent. My clothes come out clean and smell clean. Easy to use and gentle for my family. I have noticed that there is less residue left behind in my washer since I started using them.
