FAQ

Q: Are your laundry products ok to use with septic tanks?
A: Our laundry products have been thoroughly evaluated and are safe to use in homes with septic tanks. Using normal, recommended amounts of these products will not disturb the septic system (including aerated systems) or damage plumbing systems with a properly functioning septic tank.

Q: What does the Free in the product name mean?
A: Tide Free & Gentle is free from dyes and perfumes.

Q: Can I use this product on my delicates?
A: Tide Free & Gentle can be used on any garments that are considered machine washable. Some garments can be more susceptible to color loss and bleeding, and, as with all detergents, it is recommended that a small, hidden area of the garment be tested for colorfastness if there is concern.

Q: Will Tide Free & Gentle work on heavily soiled clothes?
A: Tide Free & Gentle will work great on heavily soiled clothes. Although Tide Free & Gentle is free from dyes and perfumes, this won’t affect its great cleaning power.

Q: Do I need to add anything else (bleach, laundry aid, pre-treater) to get my clothes clean?
A: Depending on the level and type of soil, you may still have other laundry additives that you choose to add. For typical laundry, nothing else will be required for cleaning.

Q: Can I use Tide Free & Gentle on my baby's clothes?
A: Yes. Tide Free & Gentle is free from dyes and perfumes, so it's perfect to use for a baby’s sensitive skin.

Your product has propylene glycol

I and others are allergic to this ingredient. This ingredient was "winner of year" in 2018 for Allergen of the year by the American Contact Dematitis Society.

The last thing we want to do is let our fans down, and we've let the team know how much you miss the old caps. Please know that our team does extensive research when designing our packages, including consumer testing. It may help to know that the cap may become messy if you shake your detergent before use. There's no need to shake-- your Tide is ready to pour! If there's anything else we can help with, please give us a call at (800) 879-8433.

Tide HE Free & Gentle quality

Have been using Tide HE Free & Gentle for years. Today when I ran short, I opened a new Tide which was cloudy & dark yellow in color. Did not use it. Noticed this is not the first complaint.

Your Free & Gentle Tide should be a straw colored liquid, Dinah! It sounds like your bottle made it past our many quality checks and made it to you without meeting our high standards. We're so sorry about that! We'd love to learn more about your bottle and help further. When you can, please call us at (800) 879-8433.
