Tide Free

No problems with this product. I have very sensitive skin and have not had any problems since I began washing my clothes with this.

he?

I like that it has no scent, but I do not find any information if it can be used in he machines. My washer is a front-loader.

Hard to Find

Tide Free cleans better than other brands. The problem: the smaller retail chains in my area no longer carry it. This means that I can never buy it on sale. The one large chain does not have sales.

Works for everyone!

With over 6 people living in my house: sensitive skin, the desire not to smell flowery, the desire to just have clean clothes--the free & gentle has helped us find a happy medium. I am now a forever Tide Free & Gentle consumer!!!

Eczema flare up and rash since June

I have been using Tide Free and Gentle for years due to my skin sensitivities/allergies and my daughter's eczema/allergies. My adult daughter has continued using Tide Free and Gentle, but she has had a horrible eczema flare up (itching, swelling, rash, burning) since June 2024 on parts of her body that she doesn't usually get eczema. She has been miserable and hasn't changed any of the products she's used for years. I started researching the products we use and discovered that the ingredients in Tide Free and Gentle changed around May 2024. What exactly was changed or added??

We're so sorry to hear about your daughters eczema flare up and rashes, and we really appreciate you taking the time to let us know. Tide Free & Gentle had a formula upgrade earlier this year to improve cleaning and product aesthetics by rebalancing ingredients to provide better stain removal, less yellow product off-color, and better product clarity. However, we want to assure you that all of our products are thoroughly tested to make sure they're always safe and effective to use as directed, so this is not what we'd normally expect, and we're very grateful to you for sharing your experience with us. For now, we recommend discontinuing use of your product, but please hold on to the container and give our team a call at (800) 879-8433, any time from 9:00AM-6:00PM EST Monday-Friday or 9:00 AM-5:30 PM EST Saturday, so that we can learn more and assist you with this further!

Ingredients not match SmartLabel webpage

The ingredients on the bottle do not match the ingredients online at the SmartLabel webpage. Notably, the bottle does Not contain Borax (Sodium Borate) and the bottle does contain the addition of sodium lauryl sulfate. I feel as though these are important ingredients that should be correctly listed. There are a few other ingredients that do not match up as well. Overall I'm disappointed with the cleaning power of this detergent. My kids are hard on their clothes. Food and dirt stains abound. This detergent very rarely gets all of the food stains out of my kids clothes.

It's disappointing to hear this because Tide is designed to provide exceptional cleaning and whitening. Some tips to get the best results with your Tide detergent are: be sure to not overload the washer, and to use the recommended amount of detergent for average water hardness, a little more in very hard water, a little less in very soft water. Also sort clothes by color and fabrics so that you can use the hottest water that is safe for the fabrics, and use the correct was cycle for the types of fabrics you are washing together. If you notice stains before washing, try pre-treating them.

Excellent

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I loved that it didn't have a specific fragrance, it was neutral. Gentle liquid detergent safe to use in my new washer. Clothes was clean and vibrant as i used it for my white load. I recommend it 10/10

Tide Detergent

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have a newborn, so as you can imagine I'm doing a lot of laundry. I like that this Tide Free and Gentle detergent doesn't have any dyes or perfumes that could potentially irritate my baby's skin. Overall, I would recommend this product.

Fragrance free

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Firstly, I use the tide OXI clean pods which I absolutely love. I was excited to opt in for this one but unfortunately it missed the bar for me. This seems more of a fabric softener than liquid detergent. I love that it's fragrance free but it doesn't get stains out of clothing. Just more of a clothes softener.

Formula changed

I have been using the Tide Free and Gentle washing detergent for years, but the recent formula change is terrible! I began having sore and itchy acne, puffy eyes, partially swollen face, and more since I sleep on a pillowcase washed in the stuff! I believe the addition of the Benzisothiazolinone may be the cause of this.
