Not sure I noticed a difference

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I liked using the pod, but I'm not sure I noticed any difference in my laundry results and I would not want to pay more for it than using my traditional Tide detergent. I have to do a price comparison and figure out if it is worthwhile.
I would recommend this to a friend!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This would be a great buy for families, but for those who do not always have a full load , I feel like i am spending to much for the amount of detergent i would be using .I like to determine how much detergent i am using. I have always used tide and hope that you will still the liquid. Thank you for the sample

My Gardening
on June 25, 2012
Posted by: irmamcknight
from Olivehurst CA
I love to work in my flower and vegetables gardens. I am always getting my hands dirty and wiping them on my clothes somewhere and a garden apron just gets in my way. So my clothes get really dirty and with one wash of tide my clothes come out nice and clean and looks 99% the way they were bought. I grew up on tide and I am going back to it. (if it was cheaper to buy) price is my only issue with this product, BUT if YOU want CLEAN CLOTHES you got to pay the HIGH PRICES but I STILL LOVE MY TIDE ALWAYS HAVE ALWAYS WILL !!!
I would recommend this to a friend!

Works well to remove stains
on July 4, 2012
Posted by: Handsomechrismom
from Tulare, CA
I just used pods today for the first time and at first I was skeptical because I was wondering if that little thing would clean all the clothes. I have two little boys and boy oh boy do we have stains. Well I did a wash with a pod and the stains were gone. They are nice for traveling because they have a stain remover with the pod so there is no need to carry an extra stain remover. I have to say they work well.

Wonderful

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I used the tide pods on my family's SHIRT load- WONDERFUL, smell great! Everything came out smelling wonderful after being dried on the line, and I was super scared that they plastic would be left in my washer( I don't own HE) well no plastic was left behind, totally dissolved!!!!!
I will using this on a regular basis for this load of laundry. I do like the Purex Crystal's which I have been using but for the price of Tide Pods it's going to average out to be the same in the long run.
I'm sure your wondering about the rest of our laundry- my house if full of ALL BOY'S and a husband- I'm the only girl- therefore LAUNDRY get's REALLY dirty around here.
For Jean's/Jean Shorts I use my regular laundry detergent(purex or sun) and I use a cap full of PINE SOL(ALOT of dry cleaners do this and I bet most of you didn't know this) If jean's are real bad, 2 caps fulls. Get's the sweat out, get's the dirt out, try it! You will be impressed.(Recommend not using FABULOUS and just use regular pine sol)
For towels-sun or purex laundry detergent and 1/2 cup Clorox Bleach 1 week, 1 cap full of clear amonia the next-switch up
White's- sun or purex laundry detergent and I use a cap full of purex crystal's**I WILL BE REPLACING THE PUREX CRYSTAL'S WITH TIDE PODS NOW
Shirt's-sun or purex laundry detergent and I was using a cap full of purex crystal's**I WILL BE REPLACING THE PUREX CRYSTAL'S WITH TIDE PODS NOW
I don't dry anything except socks/underwear everything is line dried year round- saves the life of your clothes and a bit of exercise never hurt anyone- plus the savings always helps out.
So as of now I don't know how the end product is if you dry a load- since I only did a shirt load thus far, but line drying our shirt's came our smelling/lasting longer than the Purex Crystal's

left over residue
on July 5, 2012
Posted by: argo42
from Central Florida
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have a front loading machine and clean it out after every use. I found part of the outside material of the pod actually glued to my machine. It took a lot of time to pry it loose. I am wondering if there are other parts where I can't see them. I always use cold/cold water to wash my clothes. maybe if used hot/cold, it would have denigrated the complete product.
Won't use again.

Response from TideBy Dee, Consumer Care , July 12, 2012
I’m sorry the Tide POD isn’t dissolving as it should. It is possible that the pac can migrate to the front of the tub and be pressed up to the door, getting stuck on the gasket. This can occur when the tub turns before the load is fully wetted and the pac has not had a chance to dissolve. It’s fairly rare and normally doesn’t affect the cleaning or the washing machine. This can happen with all unit dose laundry products (detergents & additives) on the market. The stuck pac can be removed with a paper towel or cloth and the machine door and/or gasket can be wiped clean with water. If you still have questions, give us a call at (800) 879-8433. Thanks!

Tide Pods are the newest thing out there. And for people out there who are saying that tide pods leave a gel residue after you're done washing that is a lie. Keep making tide pods and lots of them.

Blue staining
on July 29, 2012
Posted by: regina
from New Jersey
I love the pod and I think it does a great job with my laundry. However, the blue part of the pod is a problem. Twice now, I've had blue staining from the pod, both times on sheets. I think maybe the pod get's caught up in the sheets during the cycle and it leaves the blue streaking. I take exception to the response by Tide on the same comment a few days about about using a stain remover. I shouldn't have to use a stain remover to take something out that your product put in. If it's staining, it should be removed from your product. That said, I will still use the pods, but I'm not happy about the blue staining. I'm sure this is a marketing thing, to have colors like this in your product. You shouldn't underestimate the intelligence of your consumers. We don't need bright flashy dyes in our detergent to believe that it works.
