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.

This product is amazing

I had been using a different brand and my husband developed an allergy. I switched to Tide free and clear and within a week his allergy cleared up and he no longer needs medication.

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.

Product Value

I don't get it. Why is the highest dosage for HE washers? I thought one could use less for HE washers. Also, why is it not concentrated to reduce packaging? Not sure if I will buy this again. I go through it so fast. Also, it is misleading as to how many loads you can do with a bottle. The number of loads stated is based on filling to the first line. Since I have a HE washer, I only get one fifth the number of loads stated.

Elizabeth, we're very sorry you're having this experience. Our HE detergents are designed to provide a great clean in today's modern washers that use significantly less water than a traditional washer. You only need to use the highest dosage of detergent for an HE Full Load. Some High Efficiency machines have a 5 cubic feet drum and can hold a lot more laundry than a traditional machine – we call these bigger loads ‘HE Full Loads’. For a normal load, follow the dosing directions on the bottle. We hope this cleared up the confusion. If you have any questions, feel free to give us a call at (800) 879-8433. We're here for you.
