Gets clothes clean

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We use free and clear detergent on all our clothes as some dyes and perfumes cause irritated skin. With these we don’t have to worry about any irritated skin and itching. They get our clothes clean and remove any odors from working or that we might encounter through the day. The pod is easy to use no measuring just toss one in empty machine and pile the clothes in and you’re set. The bag they come in seals up tight but can be aggravating to open. Overall I’m pleased with the performance of these.

Packaging

Although I have no gripes with the product itself, the jug that the pods come in is about 1/4" too tall to fit in the pedestal/drawer under my washer. I don't like having to leave them out because I have to clean around them and that's just one more step in my house cleaning routine. Could you maybe shave a little off the height of the container?

Great detergent

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] These pods are exactly what I want for the laundry without the things I don’t need. I don’t want to pay for the packaging and transportation costs of a liquid detergent that’s full of water. I also don’t want any crazy dyes or perfumes. These pods leave my clothes clean and smelling fresh.

Works well

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Somehow, over the years, I’ve not tried Tide Pods until recently. They work well. I have very sensitive skin so I love that these are free from scents and colors. I probably won’t purchase them regularly because I think the value just doesn’t compare to liquid detergent.

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.

Super easy!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Loooove these pods because they’re so easy to use! No measuring - just toss them in! Plus the fact that they’re free and clear makes it handy because I can use them for washing baby clothes too! They helped me finish the task quick!

These were perfect for eczema sufferers

My child is super sensitive and has eczema and I feel this product cleans her clothes better than other sensitive brands . Because she is a toddler her clothes get pretty dirty so these work great without having all the highly allergic allergens in it

Tide Pods Free and Gentle Laundry Detergent

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Tide Pods Free and Gentle Laundry Detergent works great. I love the convenience of the pods. I love that it is unscented and still gets my clothes clean as I can be sensitive to strong scents. It works great for our whole family.

Good clean

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] These seemed to get a normal load of laundry cleaned well. They smell fresh and feel very clean, I didn’t find any of the residue from the pods, I wash in cold water and was surprised it fully dissolved. My son and I both have sensitive skin and so far have not had any reactions.

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.
