A good product and simplistic

My mother, going on 90, likes being as independent as possible. Using Tide Pods has made it possible for her to continue doing her own laundry. No more trying to pour and measure liquid detergents. One pod, per load. You can't ask for more than that when it comes to ease in washing laundry and getting good results.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Tide pods overview
on November 19, 2012
Posted by: Lynncal
from Ohio
I really like Tide pods, but like others here I was everything in cold water. I have 'blue gunk' appearing on my clothes and its very difficult to remove. If you don't notice it before drying the clothes, then (for example) socks will glue together and have to be thrown away. I really want this problem solved because I want to continue to use the product. The concept is great, and very easy to use.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Expensive, purchased hoping to save money as I tend to use too much liquid detergent...which this was a success. However they DO NOT dissolve properly and leave blue stains on clothing. Very disappointed with product, especially with the price you pay. Tide is usually better quality than this.

Response from TideBy Shawnna, Consumer Care , November 27, 2012
I’m sorry the Tide PODS aren’t dissolving and leaving blue stain on your clothing. If you haven’t done so already, I hope you’ll try the following tips for best results:
• Switch to a warm water setting during the winter months or whenever water is exceptionally cold.
• Do not overload your washer. Overloading may cause the pac to get trapped inside fabric folds.
• Be sure to store the product in a cool, dry area and close the package after each use.
To remove the stain, we recommend rewashing the garment with detergent and your favorite stain treatment. If that doesn’t help, please try the following:
1. Rinse under hot water to remove as much of the stain as possible.
2. Ring the garment out and lay flat.
3. Apply household rubbing alcohol directly to the stain, making sure it covers the entire stain. Note: Test on a similar fabric or an inside fold first.
4. Let the alcohol soak into the stain for at least 10 minutes – the longer the better.
5. Rinse stain thoroughly under warm or hot water.
6. If the entire stain has not been removed, repeat steps 1-5.
I hope this is helpful

I love Tide because it cleans goods and leaves a nice scent on my laundry. I started using the Pods and noticed some bleach looking streaks on some of the darker clothes. I realized that it was the pods not melting enough. I put the pod on the bottom and the laundry on top, which ever item of clothing that land on top of the pod seems to get the damage.

I'm sorry you had this experience while using the Tide PODS. The PODS do not contain bleach so I'm not sure what you're noticing. If you like, please give us a call at (800) 879-8433 and we'll be happy to help!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received a Tide Pod sample and was eager to try it on a load of white laundry. I followed the instructions, and discovered blue spots on a couple of my shirts, socks, and a towel, as well as an undissolved pod stuck to one of my long-sleeves. I'm extremely dissatisfied with this product, as it ruined almost half of the load of laundry. I will not be purchasing this product, or recommending it to others. (especially after reading other reviews, I'm glad I didn't use it on a load of towels or sheets!)
P.S. This website it terrible. Links don't do what they should, and information is falling off the page, so Canadian e-mails can't be seen/sent properly.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

I L.O.V.E. Pods!

I noticed a lot of people are having problems with stains. I have a top loading washer and I toss the pod in and let the machine begin to fill with water...after a minute or so I lift the lid and squeeze the pod and mix it around before I load my clothes in. I have never had a problem. I do the same for all temps of water. I love them! No more heavy jugs of detergent for me!
I would recommend this to a friend!

So good, I switched!

Normally, I buy Arm & Hammer laundry detergent. However, I was doing laundry at a friend's place and they suggested I use their pods so I wouldn't have to grad a huge bottle of detergent out of the car. I love them!!! Like my friend, I wash everything on cold, and don't normally separate the colors as long as delicates or new clothes aren't involved. I experienced no problem with the pods dissolving in the cold water, nor stains of any kind even when I washed a very heavy winter sleeping bag. Everything came out clean and smelling wonderfully. I'm now using the pods myself, and love that I can put a couple of pods in my hamper since I have to carry it down the stairs and down the block. The product is wonderful, though I do agree that either a lighter scent, or an unscented option be made available. Over all, I love this product, and have permanently switched! Thank you Tide!

I am in love with Tide Pods. I wish that I could get coupons for the pods to make each purchase a bit cheaper. I love the scent used. Thanks so much for this product!
