I bought this …..
StarStarStarStarStar5/5

primarily because it’s not in a plastic bottle. Wish they could come up with a biodegradable vs plastic scoop. Switching to as many products as possible that are not in plastic. Also like that it’s free of dyes and perfumes.

Leaves a HORRIBLE smell
StarStarStarStarStar1/5

After clothes dry, this leaves a putrid, disgusting smell like old, sweaty, armpit funk, and that horrible smell lingers for weeks after washing. To make matters worse, the powder does not completely dissolve and leaves behind white streaks and residue, even following all directions for washing from both Tide and my washing machine MFR. contacted Tide about the white streaks (before I noticed the smell) and they suggested that perhaps the box I’d just purchased had expired.. news to me that their detergents are only “good” for 6 months after manufacturing (which is ridiculous). The only way to avoid the streaks is to wash in warm or hot water, in deep water, and with 2 rinses. In other words, the least environmentally friendly method possible. Turns out the white streaks won’t be an issue because I cannot stand the awful smell (which other people could also smell).

The Tide Team
Your favorite fabrics and experience mean so much to us, so we're very sorry to hear that your laundry day with our Tide Free and Gentle Powder Laundry Detergent didn't go as well as you'd planned. There must have been some miscommunication as to the cause. Sometimes if the item is pre-soaked for more than 30 minutes, if the water is too hot, or even if exposed to bleaches or chlorine could cause this. Try washing the fabric again as the care label says, as this may help remove any scent. If you'd like further help, please give us a call again at (800) 879-8433.

Tide pods are great.
StarStarStarStarStar5/5

Tide pods are great. They are not messy like the liquid detergents. Just throw one in and forget. 

10/28/2021
We originally used Gain
StarStarStarStarStar5/5

We originally used Gain and switched to Tide because we feel like it gets our clothes and cloth diapers MUCH cleaner. It doesn’t leave any residue on our clothes or in our machine. Glad we made the switch.

I use this brand through all years I haven't had any issue .we always get gentle and perfume free bc of our daughters skin condition

I love this product.
StarStarStarStarStar5/5

I love this product. I use it not only on my clothes but my floors! It doesn’t damage them and lifts the dirt right out. It’s the best product I’ve used. I’ve purchased multiple times. It’s very inexpensive.

StarStarStarStarStar5/5

Many people do not like using free and gentle detergents, but, my laundry smells so much better without all of the extra scents! I usually mix a little vinegar in with this detergent and even my whites come out brighter!

This tide free and
StarStarStarStarStar4/5

This tide free and gentle power works soooooooo well. I have used this product for a long time and recently I changed it not because it was bad or anything. I just wanted to try new products so yeah. I would definitely recommend it to others.

Hands down THE BEST
StarStarStarStarStar5/5

Hands down THE BEST detergent on the market. Has enzymes in it so it can easily and completely wash out bodily fluids which is great for me as a Mom of 3. We all have sensitive skin and no one is irritated by this. Even unscented it gives our clothes such a fresh scent. I’m forever smelling the laundry as I fold it. Tide Free and Gentle Powder

05/05/2021

I use this brand for my daughter's laundry. It's the only brand I know that's gentle on her skin. And it's dermatologist recommended.

Not Fragrance Free - Misleading Label
StarStarStarStarStar1/5

This product is marketed to make you believe it is without fragrance. NOPE! Still has a strong fragrance in it. Not sure why it is so incredibly difficult for these companies to stop putting strong fragrances in everything. Please stop! Guessing because it says "perfume free" it means that they aren't using whatever is defined as a perfume but are still using a fragrance. It's still misleading and absolutely unnecessary. Please make this powdered detergent unscented. The fragrance has nothing to do with getting the clothes clean and there are a ton of us who are allergic or sensitive to fragrances. Everything doesn't need to smell like a chemical bomb went off on us.

03/05/2021
The Tide Team
Phess, we know that when you choose Tide Free and Gentle, you want a detergent free of dyes and added fragrances. Although fragrance or perfume is not added to the product, it will have a scent due to the natural smell of the ingredients used to make the detergent. Since there's no masking fragrance added to cover this smell, you may notice it before using the product, but it should not transfer to your fabrics after use. Sometimes under unique circumstances, such as prolonged contact with strongly scented products, the product can pick up fragrance from other nearby products. We're very sorry you had this experience. When you get a moment, give us a call at (800) 879-8433, so we can learn more about your product and help you further.

I have been using this detergent for several years, I like it a lot since it removes stains from my children's clothes and does not lose color. I think the price is a little expensive but it's worth it. I like it

03/02/2021
StarStarStarStarStar5/5

I use this mixed with warm water or bleach to clean with around the house. Works wonders!!

03/01/2021
StarStarStarStarStar5/5

Great did mine and my husbands laundry. I don’t like all the added chemicals in detergent and this is perfect. With allergies it does the job and keeps the chemicals off of our clothes

02/28/2021
StarStarStarStarStar5/5

I use this for everything! From washing my laundry to cleaning my house! Powdered tide, water and bleach is a power trio for cleaning pretty much every surface in your house, so I love this stuff!

02/22/2021
StarStarStarStarStar4/5

Tide Free and Gentle Powder is such a great detergent. I really like the fact that if you have sensitive skin, you don't have to worry about breaking out.

02/19/2021
StarStarStarStarStar5/5

Cant beat the cleaning power of tide. This stuff is legit for clothes, floors, bathrooms, heck I scrub my baseboard with this stuff. It’s a household staple!

02/17/2021
StarStarStarStarStar5/5

This is a great smelling detergent that gets your clothes very clean and very gentle on skin! Good for sensitive skin.

02/16/2021
StarStarStarStarStar5/5

Love this stuff! It cleans my daughters clothes perfectly (potty training so the smells/stains are harder to get out) and leaves them smelling like nothing, as clean clothes should! I’m sensitive to scents and even most “unscented” products are too much for me but this doesn’t bother me at all. It’s a powder so be careful not to inhale while you’re scooping it of course. I love that it comes in an all cardboard box, but I wish the scooper wasn’t plastic so that it was completely eco-friendly. Maybe offer a box without a scooper so you don’t end up with 100 of them? Idk

02/12/2021
StarStarStarStarStar5/5

This is my household's new laundry detergent. It not only smells fresh but I no longer have to worry about my allergies and sensitive skin. I was worried for my first wash but nothing happened.The price is great for the amount you get and for tide. I'd recommend to any friend or family member.

02/11/2021
StarStarStarStarStar5/5

Works great! Love that it’s more gentle than the original formula but does just as good of a job cleaning. My children’s laundry comes out stain free and so clean.

02/10/2021
StarStarStarStarStar5/5

Do you follow go clean co? If so you know water tide and bleach can clean 97% of your house. It’s a life saver

02/08/2021
Works on cloth diapers
StarStarStarStarStar5/5

After trying every natural product out there for cloth diapers (and them not working), I succumbed to buying Tide Free and Gentle powder. It’s works amazingly and perfectly. If it can clean human waste with ease, then it’s really really good.

02/02/2021
StarStarStarStarStar5/5

Scent free works on tough stains and easy and compact pods make laundry much more manageable

02/02/2021
StarStarStarStarStar1/5

No smell. Feel like my clothes don’t wash. Wish it had more cleaner to clean my clothes have to use to many to wash.

01/31/2021
StarStarStarStarStar4/5

Works great for those who have sensitive skin and can have breakouts from certain detergents. Highly recommend!!!!!!!!!!

01/31/2021
StarStarStarStarStar5/5

I have always had sensative skin, to pretty much any type of laundry detergent, until i found Tide Free Gentle Liquid, i can actually wear my clothing, or towels after showering and not start scrathing my skin over itching, if you have any type of allergies to any detergents i definitely recommend this product by tide, i recommend this 100%

01/28/2021
StarStarStarStarStar4/5

I prefer powder detergents and love the smell of Tide Free and gentle powder! It doesn’t stick to the washing machine which is a plus!

01/27/2021
StarStarStarStarStar5/5

If you want the best of the best, you buy tired! I love the traditional smell of tide, but because of sensitivities to fragrance I love the fact that there’s also this free and gentle version. It works well for us!

01/16/2021
StarStarStarStarStar4/5

The best detergent for sensitive skin! I love the light scent and stain power. The price is my only con, I wish it was cheaper, but it is par with market prices. This is truly the only laundry detergent I will buy, and I suggest it to others!

01/11/2021
StarStarStarStarStar5/5

Been using the same product from Tide over the years & will continue to do so! It washes clothes very well!

01/06/2021
StarStarStarStarStar5/5

I love these they work perfect for the laundry and keep stains and ideas away! I love this

01/05/2021
StarStarStarStarStar4/5

It gets the job done just like the regular tide just without the scent that can be irritating to my baby’s skin. Our clothes come out clean and smelling fresh. However, the powder does tend to get all over my washing machine and if you live in a humid environment, the powder can hardened. It happened to me one time in summer in florida, even though we keep our home quite cool. I also don’t like how there is no way to close the box. It always stays open.

01/04/2021
Just perfect.
StarStarStarStarStar5/5

Tide Free & Gentle powder is the ONLY detergent I use in hot and warm water laundry. It doesn't irritate my husband's allergies and the powder version keeps terrycloth towels and items smelling fresh and clean. I pair it with Woolite Dark for cold water washing and Bounce Free & Gentle softener sheets.

01/03/2021
StarStarStarStarStar5/5

I end up using this more to clean everything in my house except the laundry. Just mix with warm water (and bleach for tough jobs) and scrub away. It’ll clean anything and everything. Added bonus... you can use it for laundry too. Haha

12/30/2020
StarStarStarStarStar4/5

Trying to be more conscious of what we put into and onto our bodies we switched to Tide Free & Gentle. Seems to be working as well as the regular tide we used to use. Still may keep looking for a cleaner, more eco conscious option though

12/28/2020
StarStarStarStarStar5/5

I have allergies so I break out to certain detergents pretty easily if I use regular tide I get give but this one I have been using for awhile now and I never had any problems. I also use this for my kids and it does the job on stains and is not rough on there skin either

12/26/2020
StarStarStarStarStar5/5

this product is amazing of the bleaching that leaves the perfect white clothes I love it

12/19/2020
StarStarStarStarStar4/5

Can’t speak highly enough about tide powder. Can be used for kids clothes as well as a great cleaning booster for all around the house.

12/16/2020
StarStarStarStarStar4/5

We use powder because it is safe for cloth diapers and we really like it. It can occasionally leave some powdery residue on our clothes, but I’m not sure if that is the powders fault, our fault for adding too much, or the washing machines fault. I just run it through again or rinse it and it goes away without issues

12/03/2020
StarStarStarStarStar5/5

It lives up to its description, no fragrance and leaves the clothes feeling clean and fresh.

11/18/2020
StarStarStarStarStar5/5

Sometimes I struggle with sensitive skin because I have lupus oh, so I really need to be careful about what types of laundry products I use in case I'm having a flare up. This has always provided an excellent clean while not irritating my skin

11/15/2020
StarStarStarStarStar5/5

I have sensitive skin and breakout easily and even those "hypoallergenic" detergents irritated my skin. But finally I found something that works. I use powder myself however it is available in liquid add well. It cleans without added perfumes. I definetely recommend it for alderwood worth allergies or sensitive skin.

11/05/2020
StarStarStarStarStar5/5

This is a general staple in our laundry room. Safe and quality detergent that can be used for just about anything and anyone. Easy to use bottle and great price point. Would highly recommend, even gets out the tough stains!

11/05/2020
StarStarStarStarStar5/5

5 months since we tried this free and gentle. Yes,we are loving it, the fact that we have a baby , its so gentle and not harsh to baby’s skin. I think the price is even, not too pricey just in the middle, especially you are looking for a quality product. A must buy for me.

11/01/2020
StarStarStarStarStar5/5

I have such sensitive skin, and tide is one of the few brands that I can use. I love this free and gentle soap.

11/01/2020

I love using Tide Free & Gentle Liquid on my kids clothes love everything about Tide Free & Gentle. I love using Tide on everything.

10/28/2020
StarStarStarStarStar2/5

It’s cleans well enough but I always feel like the clothes are left not smelling great. Also my eczema seems to act up really bad whenever I use tide. I grew up with my mom using tide all the time - we never used anything else. Unfortunately we’ve both switched to other brands.

10/28/2020
StarStarStarStarStar5/5

A while ago I found out I had sensitive skin and this was the first detergent I tried. It is great! The value for the larger bottle makes for longer periods where you don’t have to buy detergent which is easier on the wallet. Smells great and is great for people with gentle skin!

10/27/2020
StarStarStarStarStar4/5

A member of my household has slightly sensitive skin so we were told to give this a try. Sometimes I feel like it doesn’t clean as well as it’s regular counterpart but it gets the job done. It definitely doesn’t cause the flare ups that the regular fragranced one does.

10/27/2020
StarStarStarStarStar5/5

I love this laundry detergent I have very sensitive skin and this doesn’t bother me I would definitely recommend it

10/26/2020

super cleaning without the harsh scent or cleaners added and a great price compared to other allergy specific laundry soaps.

10/25/2020
StarStarStarStarStar5/5

tide really is the newest one the market. it takes the least amount of detergents to actually get your clothes clean and smells great in the process. its definitely worth the money

10/18/2020
StarStarStarStarStar5/5

I have super sensitive skin and this stuff works amazing! I’m not itchy, I don’t break out and it still cleans my clothes with the same power as normal Tide does! I’d absolutely recommend this for anyone!

10/16/2020
StarStarStarStarStar5/5

I really like tide laundry detergent but I don’t like the price I think it is silly how much they charge

10/16/2020
StarStarStarStarStar5/5

I love this detergent because there is no color that can stain your clothes and doesn't have a crazy strong scent. Ive never had any issues with this and have been using it for years now.

StarStarStarStarStar5/5

This works really well. So good for my sensitive skin. The price is worth what you are getting

10/06/2020
StarStarStarStarStar4/5

Any other laundry detergent seems to break out my skin and this has been my daily go too. Unfortunately the smell got old after years of using it but its affordable for the most part and I enjoy my skin not breaking out. 7/10 recommend.

10/05/2020
StarStarStarStarStar5/5

This works really well if you have sensitive skin or easily irritated skin. It cleans really well too

10/05/2020
StarStarStarStarStar5/5

Consistently gets our family’s laundry clean, without overpowering fragrance or dyes. Love that I can put it on the shelf and push the button easily to dispense the amount I need. I can do it with finger, which is much easier than brands I had previously tried.

10/04/2020
StarStarStarStarStar4/5

Its not your moms Tide for sure. It cleans without leaving a scent behind or any residue. I am allergic to many detergents so this one was a joy to find.

10/03/2020
StarStarStarStarStar5/5

Took me a while to figure out the best laundry detergent for myself as most soaps I have used before make me very itchy. I like this one because it doesnt have any fragrance or dyes. It's not expensive and 1 bottle lasts me for months.

10/01/2020
StarStarStarStarStar4/5

It washes my clothes well and doesn't irritate my sensitive skin. The cap is a little bulky and I always over pour because I cant hold the cap well.

09/30/2020
StarStarStarStarStar5/5

I have very sensitive skin and eczema, so this is a great product if you have similar issues.

09/30/2020

Tide Free and Gentle is my go to. No dyes and scents are perfect for those with sensitive skin. Keeps your clothes clean and smelling great!

StarStarStarStarStar5/5

This detergent is effective yet gentle for our allergies! It seems to get out stains and odors without causing rashes.

09/29/2020
StarStarStarStarStar5/5

With my sensitive skin it’s hard to find detergents that don’t irritate me. Tied free and gentle is one of the only ones that works. It’s affordable and I recommend to anyone and everyone especially if you have sensitive skin.

09/28/2020
StarStarStarStarStar5/5

I hope Tide never gets rid of this. This has saved my life! I have eczema so I cannot use anything with a fragrance!

09/23/2020
StarStarStarStarStar5/5

I’ve been using this for last couple months and love it. I have very sensitive skin and eczema. I have to make sure a lot of the products I use are fee of perfumes and other ingredients. This@detergent hits it for me.

09/21/2020
StarStarStarStarStar5/5

I have been using this for years and will continue to use it for as long as I can. I love this and it cleans my clothes/laundry well without irritating my skin and causing my eczema to flare up. I most definitely recommend using this detergent if you have sensitive skin or skin that is prone to concerns like eczema or atopic dermatitis.

09/20/2020
StarStarStarStarStar5/5

It’s very gentle with your clothes and doesn’t have to much smell si work perfect for delicate clothes

09/19/2020
StarStarStarStarStar3/5

I’m giving this 3 stars because it doesn’t get all of the dirt out of our laundry. And sometimes it doesn’t get the white chalky deodorant stain from our pits.

09/18/2020
StarStarStarStarStar5/5

Leaves our clothes fresh and clean. Doesn't fade colors like other detergents do. Find my clothes to be softer too.

09/18/2020
StarStarStarStarStar5/5

It’s has been my detergent of choice since before I did my own laundry. This new “free and gentle” is an improvement on a product I didn’t realize could get any better. Highly recommend to people with sensitive skin, like me.

09/16/2020
StarStarStarStarStar5/5

Good for babies instead of dreft but also good for any kind of sensitive skin. Does not have a smell just a regular clean smell. Clear liquid which is easy to dispense. I highly recommend. Only one that won’t break my kids out.

09/15/2020
StarStarStarStarStar5/5

I’m allergic to just about every laundry soap BUT this one! Doesn’t make me itch or break out and it still smells good

09/10/2020
StarStarStarStarStar5/5

This is generally our go to because there are sensitive skins in our household. However the one thing I wish this had was a natural scent. I understand that the point is no fragrance but that’s literally my only issue with it. Otherwise, this is our staple!

09/09/2020
StarStarStarStarStar5/5

My mom only ever used Tide because my sister and I had severe skin issues growing up, so I continued with it because if it ain't broke... Tide gets the clothes clean and they feel nice, and the Gentle kind is great. And it's already HE so it works with my front loader HE washer, no special kind needed. It smells nice too Can't go wrong with it.

09/07/2020
StarStarStarStarStar5/5

I’ve always used Tide because it’s a big container that lasts and it’s reliable to get stains out while keeping my clothes in stellar condition. I like the free and gentle because it’s safe for sensitive skin, while still doing its job.

09/04/2020
StarStarStarStarStar5/5

Some of the people in my household have sensitive skin. Tide free and gentle is the perfect laundry detergent for our family. It is affordable and I get many more wash loads out of this detergent than the other leading detergent.

This leaves my clothes smelling fresh and gets out all the stains. I’m allergic to a lot of detergents but not this one

09/03/2020

I love tide don't get me wrong but i like my laundry detergent to have a scent to it. This is good for people who have sensitive skin as it is free of fragrance and dyes.

08/28/2020
StarStarStarStarStar3/5

I really like this detergent since I have a fragrance allergy, and I used to use the original Tide because I love the scent, so now I have the best of both worlds!

08/26/2020
StarStarStarStarStar5/5

I like using this laundry detergent because it gets dirty laundry clean z I like that it’s unscented. I can’t think of anything that needs to be improved. It’s affordable but not the cheapest. I would recommend it

08/25/2020
StarStarStarStarStar5/5

I love this, not scented so great for sensitive skin. I don't like pods so this liquid detergent works great for me.

08/09/2020
StarStarStarStarStar5/5

I really like tide. It is a big pricer than other brands but I think it’s worth it. I use this particular kind for nicer clothes that I want to stay nice. This very gentle and keeps the clothes from shrinking or fading.

08/06/2020
StarStarStarStarStar5/5

This is my go to laundry detergent. It makes me feel good using this on my clothes and my children’s clothes. I also love the easy pour spout and the cup that comes with it

StarStarStarStarStar4/5

Great laundry detergent. This has been our go to for the last few years. My kids have sensitive skin and there have been no reactions to the tide free & gentle. My only wish was that they would offer this in a non-plastic container.

My kids have sensitive skin so I need to use the best cleaning detergent that doesn’t have dies or perfumes. This tide works like magic.

I got this for my little family that has sensitive skin. It does the job and keeps them from breaking out but I don’t feel like it washes clothing real well. It’s affordable and would definitely recommend if you have sensitive skin but not if you need to wash your husbands work clothes with it, lol.

Great for sensitive skin. We use this for everything, clothes, sheets and towels. No improvements needed.

I have very sensitive skin so I can’t use a detergent with scent. Tide free and gentle works great for me and my sensitive skin

I am quite sensitive to artificial scents, so finding a laundry detergent that is both fragrance free and great at cleaning took some time. Tide Free and Gentle is so good at cleaning the grim out of my daughter's clothes, and there is absolutely zero smell! If you've ever had a reaction to regular detergent, definitely give this a try.

I have used tide free and gentle for my children when they were infants during to their sensitive skin. Two of my kids has eczema and I have to use detergent without dyes and fragrance to make them more comfortable. I would recommend if you are considering trying this product.

If you don’t want your clothes to smell like anything, this is the detergent to use. I think it’s also supposed to be good for people who have sensitive skin.

Can't Find

I concur with Tide Hunter. The powder formula of this works 100% better than any other form of it. BUT is SO HARD TO FIND!!!!

No longer fragrence-free
StarStarStarStarStar2/5

It used to be mostly scent-free; it definitely no longer is. It imparts a strong fake-lavender smell which lasts for days. Due to medical issues, we need low-odor detergent. We'll be changing brands.

The Tide Team
When we say fragrance-free, we mean it! Tide Free and Gentle is made fragrance-free and dye-free, so sensitive skin can have deeply clean clothes too. It may be helpful to know that although fragrance or perfume is not added to the product, they will have a scent due to their natural smell. Since there's no masking fragrance added to cover this smell, you may notice it before using the product, but it should not transfer to your fabrics after use. Lavender isn’t something we expect, however, and that may be due to prolonged contact with strongly scented products. Tide Free and Gentle can pick up fragrance from other nearby products in some unique circumstances, so we’d like to learn more about your experience. Please give us a call at (800) 879-8433 and we’d be happy to help.

Works great!
StarStarStarStarStar5/5

Tide works better than other detergents and I need to use Tide Free, without scents. I prefer the powder in a box, also Liquid does not work nearly as well.

Where Is It?
StarStarStarStarStar5/5

No longer found at our usual retailers. Please tell us you aren't discontinuing the powder version of this product! The liquid doesn't work nearly as well.

The best scent-free clean you can get!
StarStarStarStarStar5/5

Tide Free and Gentle can clean and soften the dirtiest laundry our active family makes, and it works great in our moderately hard water.

Great for formula stains!
StarStarStarStarStar4/5

I just had my first child and needed a detergent with enzymes to help remove baby formula stains. This product works wonders! I soak any clothing, bibs, sheets, blankets, etc. that have spit-up on them in a tub of cold water and Tide Free & Gentle and have yet to take an item out that has a stain still in it! Great product. My only reason for giving it 4 stars instead of 5 is because of the price, I wish it were cheaper.

Tide Free and Gentle Cleans Perfect
StarStarStarStarStar5/5

I have compared Tide Free and Gentle Powder a few days ago to my store brand, and found they both are both as advertised. Except, the store brand takes 30% more. The cost is equivalent, on that basis. Except, Tide Free goes the extra distance to completely clean my senior parent's laundry, everything my pets can dish out, as well as my work clothes. I use it to mop daily in a house with terrazzo floors. When you care for others as much as I do, Tide Free and Gentle is a workhorse friend, and a good value, in my opinion.

Help!
StarStarStarStarStar5/5

This is the only laundry product I can use with my sensitive skin. However, it's very difficult to find in my area in the powder form. Hope Target and Walmart restock soon!!!!

Hard to find
StarStarStarStarStar4/5

I can't seem to find the powder product anymore. The big local grocery chain I use has dropped it. The liquid containers are too hard for me handle with arthritis in my hands.

within my budget

I have used Tide for so long, I will not use any other.
