Disappointed

My family has a sensitivity to fragrance, so I started using the 2X Ultra Tide Free several months ago, with satisfactory results. However, it is no longer on the shelves and now Tide Free & Gentle is the only fragrance free Tide product available at the store. I started noticing over the next few weeks that it does not seem to have the cleaning power of the previous product. I noticed that grease spots were not releasing and both whites and colors were not getting as clean as that to which I had become accustomed. I am disappointed that such a great product as the 2X Ultra Tide Free is no longer available, and view the replacement as a non-effective substitute for day to day laundry requirements.

reply from Tide Team

I am sorry you have noticed a difference in cleaning with the Tide Free and Gentle. The product name was changed in July, 2010. However, there were no ingredient changes. You may want to pre-treat directly on the grease stains. Sometimes this type of stain may need a little more attention. I hope this information helps.

Removes All Odors

I am allergic to the perfumes in laundry soap and Tide Free & Gentle works great for me. It does remove all odors and stains without all the other skin irritating additives. I have tried other products but keep coming back to the only laundry soap that I have used for years. I will not use anything else.

Excellent Product

We are highly allergic to dyes and fragrances in most laundry detergents. I've been disappointed in the other "free" laundry products I've tried because they don't get my clothes clean. Tide Free is the only dye and perfume free laundry detergent that I have found that is excellent at getting my clothes clean.

Great Product

I have respiratory problems with scented soaps/fabric softeners and this product has proven wonderful. No scent and my cloths are clean and fresh smelling. I've always used TIDE products because they work great and so does TIDE FREE. Thanks you TIDE.

Deathly allergic reaction

I've used this for years before, but recently after use I broke out in a monstrous rash and hives that surpassed home medication and had to go to the hospital for treatment. Maybe if you want to surprise us by reformulating and adding benzisothiazolinone which is banned in Europe maybe add a disclaimer scum bags!

Perfect for baby!

With my first born I used Dreft on his clothes and regular Tide on mine. Turns out he had such sensitive skin that he would break out in a rash from any contact with my clothes. His doctor recommended Tide free to wash everyones clothes in. Now almost 3 years later and another baby on the way Tide Free is still the only detergent I use!

LOVE IT!!

We started using it for our baby's clothes. I loved it so much that I started to use it for all of our clothes. It is great for people with sensitive sknin because there is no scent to it. It does an excellent job at cleaning clothes, especially the stains that come with having a little baby.

tide free

I love Tide, but the chemicals in the regular formula are too harsh for my sensitive skin, thank you so much for this fragrance free one! I actually had to switch brands to another product line that offered fragrance free....though I wasn't particularly pleased with the wash results. Now, I'm back to my old friend Tide...in a fragrance free.

Ony laundry detergent I use

I only buy Tide for my entire family and this is the only detergent I will use. I buy regular Tide my older kids use because they like a scent after their clothes are washed. Have dry skin and eczema and sensitivity to perfumes. I wish they would make it in a bleach formula though. Their current bleach formula smells too bad for me.

Terrific!

Finally! A Tide Free for HE machines that leaves clothes soft and clean. The soap really does rinse out and the fabric is soft. I have been using Tide Free and Tide Free for HE for years and my wash would usually come out stiff and I'd rinse again with no change and I live in a soft water area. Now, cotton sweaters, sweats, tees are soft - I usually use a double rinse, anyway. No odor, no damage. Please tell your chemists to leave this one alone and if they get bored, give them something else to do. And contrary to other reviews, my machine smells BETTER and the clothes have no odor and I have no need to use white vinegar to get them soft or cleaner. Get rid of that 2x Tide Free HE.
