Tide Pods for laundry

I love this product. The pods have the correct amount of softener and soap to clean the laundry to perfection. They are easy to use.

Melted into clothes

I used these to wash my kids clothes and on two occasions, it ruined our clothes. The pod melted into the clothes and couldn’t be removed afterwards.

Tide Response From Tide 05/30/2018

We're so sorry you had this experience! Please know, the residue you see is water-soluble. Soaking those items overnight, then rewashing them should restore them to their former glory! We'd love to offer tips to help prevent this from happening again. So we can, please call us at (800) 879-8433.

Tide Free

I bought Tide free on sale to try it. I find this works great for my daughters sensitive skin. Great product and very happy with it.

Shouldn't have to re-wash clothes multiple times

The pods don't dissolve. Residue is either sticky like silicone, or dry and hard like super glue on the fabric. Beyond frustrated at this point!

Tide Response From Tide 04/16/2018

We always want our PODS™ to be convenient and efficient, Michelle, and we’re sorry that wasn’t the case. We never want to frustrate you and want you to know that our detergents are water-soluble. To remove any residue soak the garments overnight, then rewash without detergent in the hottest water safe for the fabric. We’d like to help you further, please call us at (800) 879-8433.
