Clean detergent / Regular wash/ Skin sensitivity issues = golden!!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I absolutely LOVE that this detergent is fragrant free and pretty clean, but when it comes to washing clothes and wanting your clothes to smell clean and fresh, this is not it. I was so excited to try this detergent as I keep my home as toxic free as possible, but when it comes to cleaning products or detergents I want all the smells and all the possible cleaning solutions to do the best job possible at eliminating odor, fresh light clean smell, thorough washing etc. I think if your into non-fragrant household products AND have sensitive skin, this is so your go to. I did really enjoy that aspect of this product. I have extremely sensitive skin and my skin did not break out in hives or in rashes due to this product. It was made intentionally for people with sensitivity issues and I think it lives up to the hype in that regard. Now, as a detergent I think it could works precisely if maybe you add a few drops of essential oil or something to really help eliminate the previous odor that is sitting there prior to washing your clothes. This item was good, it really depends on what you are looking for exactly.

Good!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I really like it! I love the fact that it doesn't have a smell because I don't like the smell of detergent I have eczema and it's really hard to find a detergent that doesn't activate my condition and this one worked just fine!

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.

Formula Change

New formula has flared my contact dermatitis. Have been using Tide Free and Gentle without issues for many years. Took two weeks while scratching to figure out that a new bottle had been opened and the ingredients were changed. I am head-to-toe covered in cherry-red itchy skin and hives. Not happy.

New formula - dermatitis

I am highly upset. I have used tide free for years. Recently I began to have hives on my arms feet and legs…bad red patches of dermatitis. For weeks I eliminated everything only to realize it was the washing powder!! Why have you done this? What a miserable experience. I will never buy again. Kept me up at night it was so severe.

Love

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received this product complimentary from Influenster in exchange for an honest review. I live in a house full of asthmatics and allergy sufferers. This means that we are often times having to sacrifice quality and efficacy because not a lot of brands cater to those of us who cannot tolerate fragrance in our household cleaning products. This detergent is exceptional. It offers great cleaning power without all of the added fragrance. I will definitely be repurchasing in the future.

The Best

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I was skeptical of how well my laundry would be cleaned by a “Free & Gentle” formulated detergent-but I've put it to the test on towels and even my kiddo's sports clothes. I've been pleasantly surprised that to get the benefits of “Free & Gentle” you don't lose any of Tide's well known cleaning power. This Tide Free and Gentle liquid detergent works extremely well at getting my clothes clean. They even look and feel fresh! No other brand I've tried can touch this level of cleanliness. Love that it's Free & Gentle too!

Cleans well

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Love how this is free and gentle on skin. As someone that has both eczema and psoriasis it's important for me to limit the fragrance I put on my skin. Tide may be on the pricey skin de but it always cleans my clothes so good!

Cleans well, no residue

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] So this is the first time I have used this laundry soap. I am happy with it, it does the job and is dye and frgrance free but still leaves my clothes feeling clean and fresh. Have used on the kids clothes and it holds up to that as well. Even the grimey stuff.

Caused an allergic reaction

Recently, I had changed to seventh generation detergent, but thought that was causing some itchiness. I went back to Tide Free and noticed the cap was clear and not blue like it used to be and the liquid itself was a different color. I started getting a rash and it was right after I switched back to this detergent. I have sensitive skin, and it has taken over my legs and arms. The medical provider I saw said it is an allergic reaction and prescribed oral steroids because it is that bad and diffuse. I'm REALLY hoping this can be put back to the original formula. This has been the only, consistent detergent I've been able to use for many years—my mom used it when I was a child and I'm 30 now.
