Free and Clear Tidepods

We never use scented laundry detergents. Happy to have the cleaning power of Tidepods but without the perfume!

Sensitive Skin Winner!

I'm allergic to regular Tide but love how clean it gets clothes. This formula works just as good and doesn't give me hives!

Unexplained neck rash

I'm easy as for a couple months and developed a neck rash. I wasn't quite sure what was causing it because I know my triggers. Come to find out there a certain type of surfactant in this laundry detergent that can cause allergic reaction reactions.

They don't fully dissolve

The detergent itself is fine, but the pods don't fully dissolve and they leave wads of sticky stuff on our clothes. Switching back to All Free %26 Clear.

reply from Tide

We are really sorry to hear you had this experience with our Tide PODS Free &amp; Gentle Laundry Detergent Pacs. It must upsetting that the product left residue on the clothing. We appreciate you providing us with this feedback and positive comments on it, but this is definitely not the type of experience we want you to go through. Improper dosing and placement of detergent can cause residue on fabrics, while oversized loads hinder detergent dissolution and water circulation. For high-efficiency machines, maintain specific fill levels based on the cycle: a hands gap for normal cycles, 60% for synthetics, and 40% for delicate and quick cycles. Low water pressure can also impact washing. Always follow dosing instructions and verify pod compatibility with newer machines, which may use less water. Please feel free to contact us at (800) 879-8433 so we can take care of you. Your satisfaction is highly important for us at Tide.

I Love free and clear Tide pods especially in the larger container. It will last at least 2 months. I have 2 littles clothes one has Allergies to perfumes and they both have eczema. So to keep them healthy means a lot. It cleans their clothes Great! I also use it in my clothes and now they feel soft and not scratchy.

We truly appreciate your loyalty to Tide, and we're glad you've found a detergent that works well for your daughter, but we're certainly sorry to hear about your recent experience. The PODSâ„¢ are designed to dissolve completely, so in order to learn more to share with our Quality Team and provide some troubleshooting tips, please give us a call at (800) 879-8433.

Great for sensitive skin

I have used these for years. I can't use other laundry detergents due to my sensitive skin, they clean well, the only thing I don't like is with these new HE washers I find they leave a residue on the walls of my washer. They work best in warm and hot water.
