Too much plastic + Odors are not removed.

I finally decided to switch detergents because although Tide eliminate stains, odors were not, so I had to always add a sanitizer to cover that. Also, we decided to eliminate plastics as much as we can, so we switched to True Earth eco strips which dissolves better than a pod, eliminated odors and are so easy to handle (so small of a package). We eliminated 3 plastic refills monthly altogether.

Staining my clothes

my bottles the detergent is more amber color than I remember the past formulas, I only use to the 1 mark and my clothes are all ruined. I tried scrubbing stains out and doing several washes, even vinegar washes. It's like someone put epoxy on my clothes. I also noticed in one of the bottles some white globs as if the formula isn't stable. While the other bottle doesn't seem to have this it still left stains on my clothes.

Bad smell

I use this product because I have sensitive skin.I was doing laundry and open the container of liquid detergent and immediately noticed it smelt very different. I showed to the laundromat attendant and the notice the bad order as well. Smh very dissatisfied.

We're sorry to hear that this was your experience, as we can assure you that our Tide Free & Gentle goes through strict quality checks to ensure that it reaches you in the best possible condition. We'd like to mention that we haven't made any changes to the scent of our Free & Gentle, as it continues to have no perfume or fragrance added. Sometimes under unique circumstances, such as prolonged contact with strongly scented products, the product can pick up fragrance from other nearby products.

Clean minus the smell

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have used Tide over the years but never tried the Tide Free and Gentle. I enjoy the traditional Tide smell and will probably stick with that for my personal clothing. I don't think I got 25 loads out of the bottle but pretty close and the clothes were clean.

The lack of fragrance smells like chemicals

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I tried the Tide Free and Gentle this past weekend and was pleased with how clean my clothes were but not super stoked about the fragrance-free smell. The detergent smells super chemically, and was happy the smell seems to dissipate after I dried the laundry.

As you probably know, we don’t add fragrance or perfume to our product. But it will have a “scent” due to its own natural smell. Since there's no masking fragrance added to cover this natural smell, you may notice it before using the product, but it should not transfer to your fabrics after use. If you normally use this version and this package smells different, it may be a unique situation. Feel free to share some additional details with us at 1-800-879-8433 and to see how we can help.

Gentle on my clothes

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Peace of mind to know this product is gentle on my clothes and is free of dyes and perfumes. I'm giving it 4 stars since I'm not sure this product makes a difference for me. I don't have particularly sensitive skin, so I could use regular detergents.

Love that it's unscented

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I absolutely hate scented laundry detergent and only will buy fragrance free. Tide free and gentle is the best! It's fragrance free and gentle on your clothes. And it's high efficiency washer friendly. Plus, I love that the cap has guidelines for the size of your load.

Fragrance Free

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Definitely needed a fragrance free & gentle laundry detergent for my niece who's allergic to any scent. This came in great because it's gentle but effective to take out the dirt from the little one's clothes. Even though it's fragrance free it does have some type of scent that I'm not a 100% crazy about.

Love the smell

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The detergent left my clothes so clean and the smell is amazing. My clothes came out so soft as well I love how to gentle it is. I would definitely recommend tide to my friends. And I will definitely change to tide gently liquid laundry detergent. The 37 oz bottle is the perfect size. Definitely go buy this at your local store.
