Good Detergent

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I use Tide PODS® Free and Gentle Laundry Detergent for a month, I can only say that my top is very clean and fresh, all the stains disappear and also super easy to use, it does not get thrown away nor do I have to think about how much I should use, it is perfect for me.

Really does the job!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I'm so happy that Tide came out with the laundry pods in Free & Gentle. Most of my family has very sensitive skin, so all clothing, towels, and bed sheets need to be washed in hypoallergenic laundry detergent. I'm in the 3rd generation of using Tide products, and happy to keep up the tradition! Just finished my first load of laundry using the Tide pods and everything came out super clean and smelling very fresh.

Love the pods

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I’ve never used laundry pods before this but had to give them a try. I love how easy they are and NO MESS. I usually use powder and it gets everywhere or the liquid has excess dripping. They clean well and smell good plus free of things that could bother our sensitive skin. Love them.

Great for those with sensitive skin

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My skin is very sensitive so I have to be careful with what I use for just about anything that touches it. I've used several plant based and free and clear detergents in the past with good results. These are no different. I'm not a fan of the pod design, I am always nervous about it not breaking down and ruining my clothes. I'd use this again in a liquid form.

reply from The Tide Team

While we're glad to hear that you love using these Tide PODS™ for you and your sensitive skin, we're sorry you're not a fan of the pod design. No need to fret about your worries though. If the pod doesn't break down, it's a rare occurrence, and there are ways to get it off your favorite fabrics. To prevent that from happening, simply don't overload your washing machine, and don't put too many absorbent items in there at once too. Your feedback is important to us, and we'd love to hear from you about this. When you have a moment, please give us a call at (800) 879-8433

Caused hives and multi-day allergic reaction

These pods caused a severe allergic reaction in my 4 year old daughter from head to toe. Had to take prednisone and Benadryl for days following her sleeping on sheets washed with these “Free and Gentle” pods. Reading the reviews now, it is clear that we aren’t the only ones, so what does Tide plan to do about it?

My new go too

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I can not believe I never tried tide before!! I have 5 kids and none have cared for pacis or blankys or anything until my 5th child. He is 2 and he is obsessed with sucking on his blanket. So much so I had to buy 3 spares sjust so I can have extras incase they get lost of destroyed. Thry discontinued this print and it's the only one he will calm down with when freaking out. But oh boy they get so nasty! We hsve hard water and I judt can not get the dingy color, crunchy feel and smell out of these blankets! Finally I decided to try tide after trying 5 or 6 other methods and boy oh boy are they back to new! They are not perfect but they are so much brighter and they are soft again! The smell is also gone!! I personally am so very very happy. But umm my 2 yr old is not a fan haha he didn't like how clean they were. Overall I 100% recommend these to anyone with hard water, stains, smells and crunchy items you want cleaned like new!

We love Tide!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I always chose Tide products over any other detergent. We use free and gentle because of some sensitive skin. I almost always wash in cold water and these work very well. They’re not overly fragrant which is nice

Gentle for sure

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] These were nice at best. Gentle kind of meant no scent which was fine but wasn't sure if it actually helped the clothes clean. I did however like the nice little pods they came in. Compact and clean...

These are great

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Super easy to throw these into a load instead of having to measure out and make a mess with the jug of liquid. I'd definitely recommend them to help tidy up your laundry area of messes. Cloths came out clean without indication of any pods being used.
